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. Join Verda while it's still being built - not once it's finished.\n\nAbout the roleAs Engineering Manager for our Cloud engineering team, you build the structure a growing team needs: how people work together, how priorities get decided, and how delivery gets coordinated. You take on the people and organisational work so engineers can focus on building and the Tech Lead can focus on technical direction, rather than carrying meetings, administration, and coordination themselves.\nYou work closely with Product, who own product decisions, and the Tech Lead, who owns technical decisions. You own people leadership, career development, and how the team works, and the three of you agree priorities together, weighing product goals, technical constraints, and the team's capacity.\n\nYour responsibilitiesEstablish team structure, ownership, and ways of working that let the team operate without depending on you for every decision.\n\nBuild planning and coordination practices that support delivery without adding unnecessary process.\n\nRemove administrative and organisational work that distracts engineers from building.\n\nOwn people leadership: expectations, feedback, one-to-ones, career growth, hiring, and onboarding.\n\nCoordinate delivery and dependencies, keeping priorities, commitments, and risks visible.\n\nAgree priorities with Product and the Tech Lead, weighing product needs, technical constraints, and team capacity.\n\nImprove the system when delivery or coordination problems repeat, rather than managing around them permanently.\n\nYour key competenciesYou combine credible engineering context with serious people-management capability. Being accountable for team outcomes doesn't mean making every decision yourself.\nEvidence of managing engineers through clear expectations, regular feedback, development, and fair performance management.\n\nExperience building or improving a team's operating system, not just coordinating its meetings.\n\nStrong delivery judgement: creating focus, surfacing trade-offs, managing dependencies, and acting on risk early.\n\nEnough technical background to understand the team's work, challenge assumptions, and coach judgement without taking over technical ownership.\n\nExperience hiring and onboarding engineers while balancing delivery needs with longer-term capability.\n\nStrong collaboration with Product and technical leadership, with clear ownership boundaries.\n\nAbility to operate calmly and directly in a fast-growing, ambiguous environment.\n\nHigh standards for fairness, psychological safety, accountability, and sustainable performance.\n\nNice to haveExperience managing teams responsible for cloud platforms, distributed systems, developer products, or production infrastructure.\n\nExperience working in a paired Engineering Manager and Tech Lead model.\n\nExperience scaling a team or reshaping responsibilities as an organisation grows.\n\nHands-on engineering experience earlier in your career.\n\nWhy VerdaCash and equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, and more).\n\nProfitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.\n\n40+ nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.\n\nA real chance to make an impact and work alongside world class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.\n\nPracticalitiesWork mode: Hybrid (Helsinki or London)\n\nLevel: Engineering Manager\n\nEmployment type: Full-time and permanent\n\nWhat's nextWe're building fast and this role needs the right person behind it.
