CPU Solutions Specialist

CPU selection touches everything Verda builds (infra, platform, cloud, storage), and right now no one owns it full-time. As we scale our compute, we need someone on top of what CPUs exist, what’s coming to market, and which parts fit which workloads, both for our internal teams and for what we offer customers.

We are looking for a CPU Solutions Specialist to be that person. This is an advisory and information-gathering role at its core: you’ll gather and consolidate CPU requirements across our internal engineering teams, translate them into clear specifications, and feed those into our vendor discussions. You’ll be the recognized internal authority on “what CPU, and why” (across AMD, ARM, and Intel) and you’ll hold credible technical conversations with everyone from engineers to vendors to non-technical stakeholders. This is a fast-paced team with a lot of informal brainstorming, and the role is as wide as you make it. You’ll work most closely with our Hardware Solutions Architect on vendor strategy and hardware selection.

What You’ll Do

• Track the CPU landscape: what exists, what’s coming to market over the next 12 to 18 months, and what’s worth Verda’s attention and why.
• Gather and consolidate CPU requirements across internal teams (infra, platform, cloud, storage), understanding each team’s workloads and constraints.
• Translate internal needs into clear CPU specifications and constraints that feed into vendor discussions.
• Hold credible CPU conversations across audiences: engineers, vendors, and non-technical stakeholders.
• Independently handle technical discussions with CPU manufacturers, or support your manager in them.
• Document the reasoning behind recommendations so the process is repeatable and others can build on it.

• Deep knowledge of CPUs from hands-on work experience. AMD is essential; ARM and Intel are a strong plus.
• A solid understanding of CPU compute nuances and the role CPUs play in the wider system.
• Experience gathering requirements and managing stakeholders.
• The ability to document the reasoning behind technical decisions clearly.
• Relevant work experience in a related hardware, infrastructure, or compute environment.
• The ability to lead CPU vendor conversations independently from a technical perspective.
• Excellent written and verbal English.
• A valid EU work permit.

At Verda, we’re building a fully featured European AI cloud, covering everything needed to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models at scale.

We are a full-stack AI infrastructure company, meaning we design, operate, and optimize the compute powering modern AI workloads across training and inference. Our infrastructure runs on 100% renewable energy, helping build a more sustainable AI ecosystem.

Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
