Headquartered in Helsinki, we operate globally with offices in London and San Francisco. \nJoin Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.\n\nWhy VerdaCash and equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, and more).\n\nProfitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.\n\n30+ 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: Remote (EU)\n\nLevel: Mid / Senior\n\nEmployment type: Full time and permanent\n\nAbout the roleGPUs only deliver value once they're wired into a cluster that researchers can actually train on. As our HPC Engineer, you'll own the baremetal and virtualized clusters behind our AI cloud - from the InfiniBand fabric and shared filesystems up through the workload orchestration layer. You'll be the person who keeps large-scale GPU clusters healthy, performant, and ready for the next workload.\n\nYour responsibilitiesAdminister baremetal GPU/HPC clusters end to end, from provisioning through day-two operations\n\nAdminister virtualized clusters, including the hypervisor and GPU virtualization stack underneath them\n\nDesign, deploy, and tune InfiniBand fabrics, including topology planning, subnet management, and performance validation\n\nDeploy and operate shared/parallel filesystems supporting training and inference workloads, balancing performance, capacity, and reliability\n\nTroubleshoot and resolve issues across the full fabric stack: fibers, transceivers, NICs, switches, drivers, and firmware\n\nPartner with remote-hands and data center teams to diagnose hardware faults and execute physical-layer fixes and cluster expansions\n\nOperate and tune Slurm (or equivalent) workload scheduling deployments used by customers and internal teams\n\nKeep issue tracking, IPAM, and DCIM records accurate as clusters are built, changed, and decommissioned\n\nParticipate in on-call rotations and incident response for cluster-level issues\n\nCollaborate with platform, network, and storage teams to integrate new clusters into the broader AI cloud\n\nYour key competenciesSolid Linux skills, with specialization in memory management, PCIE topologies and virtualization being a bonus\n\nDeep Infiniband knowledge, including fabric design, subnet management, and performance tuning\n\nSolid experience with IB clustering, troubleshooting/debugging, understanding the ecosystem of fibers+transceivers+NICs+switches and all the things that could possibly fail in them\n\nExperience about shared filesystems (e.g. Lustre, GPFS/Spectrum Scale, WekaFS, or similar)\n\nAbility to work with remote hands teams to diagnose and resolve hardware issues remotely\n\nKnowledge about NCCL, CUDA, DOCA and the Nvidia stack\n\nKnowledge about Slurm and/or other workload scheduling solutions, bonus points for Slinky/slurm-bridge\n\nUnderstanding the importance of keeping issue tracking/IPAM/DCIM up to date\n\nComfort operating production clusters where uptime and performance directly affect customer workloads\n\nScripting/automation ability (e.g. Python, Bash, Ansible) for repeatable cluster operations\n\nNice to haveRoCEv2 knowledge (and/or Spectrum-X)\n\nUnderstanding of agentic guardrails, especially when applied to administration of complex systems\n\nAbility to think beyond what is needed right now vs. some given trajectory or roadmap\n\nExperience with GPU health-checking and diagnostics tooling (e.g. DCGM, field diagnostics)\n\nExperience with baremetal provisioning/orchestration tooling (e.g. MAAS, Foreman, custom PXE/iPXE pipelines)\n\nFamiliarity with GPU-aware virtualization or containerization (Kubernetes device plugins, KVM/QEMU with GPU passthrough, SR-IOV)\n\nExposure to observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki) for cluster-level monitoring\n\nWhat's nextWe'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.\nPlease submit your application through our Careers page.
