Staff Engineer, Cloud

At Verda, we're building a full-stack AI cloud, covering everything from data centers and hardware to our own cloud platform that

the world's leading AI teams use to do serious AI work.

We strive to make a positive mark on the world through the infrastructure we build and give leading teams a service they can truly

depend on. Headquartered in Helsinki, we operate globally with offices in London and San Francisco.

As Staff Engineer for Cloud, you set technical direction across multiple domains and teams, not just one. Where a Lead owns a

single domain end to end, you operate at the level above it: spotting where domains need to work together, resolving disputes that

a single team can't settle alone, and lending your judgement to the hardest technical problems wherever they surface.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role. You have no direct reports; your influence comes from technical credibility,

sound judgement, and a track record of being right about hard things. You work closely with Leads, Engineering Managers, Product,

and our Principal Engineer to keep architecture, sequencing, and trade-offs coherent across Cloud as it grows.

• Set technical direction across multiple Cloud domains and teams, identifying where local decisions need to fit into a coherent

whole.

• Lead high-impact, cross-team technical initiatives end to end, staying close enough to the code and production systems to make

grounded calls.

• Partner with Leads, the Principal Engineer, Product, and Engineering Managers to align architecture, surface trade-offs, and

keep dependencies visible.

• Set and uphold engineering standards for correctness, testing, security, observability, performance, and data integrity across

the teams you touch.

• Resolve technical disagreements that cross domain boundaries, make the call, and document the reasoning so others can follow

it.

We're not counting years of experience. We're looking for evidence that you've led technical work beyond the boundary of a single

team, and that you can build and operate production systems in our core languages.

• Proficiency in both Go and JavaScript (or equivalent experience), with hands-on experience building and operating production

systems in each.

• The ability to resolve technical disagreements across team boundaries and clearly explain the reasoning and trade-offs behind a

decision.

• Experience with cloud platforms, distributed systems, public APIs, billing or payments, identity and access management, or

developer-facing products.

• A real chance to make an impact and work alongside world class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI

ecosystem.

We're building fast and this role needs the right person behind it. There's no artificial deadline, but when we find who we're

looking for, we move. If this sounds like your next move, apply now.
