Headquartered in Helsinki, we operate globally with offices in London and San Francisco.\n\nJoin Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.\nWhy Verda\nCash and equity compensation along with local benefits.\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\nAbout the role\nAs a Site Reliability Engineer you keep Verda's GPU cloud running and make it more reliable every quarter. This role is for engineers with a few years of production experience. You start with well-scoped work alongside senior SREs and grow into owning parts of the platform from build to production.\nYou work hands-on across the systems that keep our data centres serving customers: deployments, Kubernetes platforms, secrets, observability, and the tooling that connects our bare-metal GPU servers to the services our customers use.\nAt Verda, reliability is part of the product. You measure it in SLOs, incidents, pages and customer credits, and you write the code and automation that bring those numbers down. You work closely with our automation, networking, Linux, hardware and data-centre operations teams. Once you're ready, you join our paid primary/secondary on-call rotation, paired with experienced engineers while you learn.\nYour responsibilities\nRun and improve the services that keep our data centres operating, from deployment pipelines to secret provisioning\n\nContribute to SLIs and SLOs for our core platform services\n\nTake part in on-call: respond to incidents, lead smaller ones as you gain experience, contribute to blameless reviews and follow through on the fixes you own\n\nDiagnose failures methodically across the stack, from GPU and server hardware through Linux and networking to Kubernetes and the services on top\n\nBuild automation that removes repetitive operational work, including AI-assisted and agent-based tooling where it helps\n\nMake deployments safer with release criteria, readiness checks, progressive rollouts and fast rollback\n\nBuild monitoring into the work you ship and extend our observability (metrics, logs, traces and alerts), so we find problems before customers report them\n\nContribute to capacity planning, failover and redundancy design for a fast-growing GPU fleet\n\nRaise reliability risks early with clear options, and log them in the infrastructure risk register\n\nWrite runbooks and documentation, and help your peers through code reviews\n\nYour key competencies\nThe ideal candidate has a solid Linux and systems foundation, writes real code, and is curious to learn the rest of the stack. You don't need to tick every box to apply.\n3+ years in SRE, infrastructure, platform or systems engineering, or equivalent hands-on experience from internships\n\nSolid Linux fundamentals and hands-on troubleshooting experience\n\nHands-on Kubernetes experience, ideally in production\n\nSome experience with infrastructure automation or GitOps (for example Ansible, ArgoCD, Terraform, CI/CD) and observability tools (for example Prometheus, Grafana, VictoriaMetrics, OpenTelemetry)\n\nExperience writing tooling and automation in Go or Python\n\nSolid networking fundamentals: TCP/IP, DNS and load balancing\n\nYou debug methodically in Linux, networking or distributed systems, and you're curious to learn the rest of the stack\n\nOwnership and a data-led approach: you follow an incident through to the lasting fix, and you can show the effect of your work\n\nGood judgement about when to automate, when to fix by hand and when to escalate\n\nClear communication and a quick learner: you share progress, ask for help early, act on feedback and work well across teams\n\nNice to have\nGPU infrastructure: NVIDIA drivers, DCGM, InfiniBand or RoCE, and common GPU failure modes\n\nBare-metal provisioning and hardware lifecycle: BMC/IPMI, Redfish and firmware management\n\nLinux performance analysis, or driver and kernel-level troubleshooting\n\nTools from our stack: Rancher, kubeadm, Cilium, containerd, Harbor, Kyverno\n\nBuilding AI or agent-based tools for operations\n\nExperience at a cloud provider or running a large data-centre fleet\n\nPrevious on-call or incident response experience for production systems\n\nPracticalities\nLocation: Helsinki, Finland\n\nWork mode: Hybrid, 3 days a week at the office\n\nEmployment type: Full time and permanent\n\nWhat's next\nWe'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.
