Jobbeschreibung

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.

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

• 40+ nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.
• A real chance to make an impact and work alongside world class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.

Practicalities

• Work mode: On-site, 8-hour shift rotation covering 24/7 operations
• Level: Junior
• Employment type: Full time and permanent

About The Role

Our sites run high-density GPU infrastructure around the clock, and the physical layer has to be right every time. As a Junior Data Center Technician you'll build your hands‑on skills on real production hardware, working alongside experienced technicians on the shift team.

This is an all‑rounder role rather than a specialist one. You'll cover hardware, cabling, and general site operations rather than going deep in a single area, and there's a real path to grow.

Your responsibilities

• Install and maintain servers, storage systems, networking equipment, and structured cabling alongside more experienced technicians.
• Replace failed hardware components including drives, fans, PSUs, motherboards, and CPUs
• Rack and stack servers, switches, and supporting equipment
• Install, route, and label copper and fibre cabling
• Test cable and fibre links and help trace faults to the failing component
• Handle general site operations work, from receiving and inventorying hardware through to physical site checks

Your key competencies

We're looking for someone with genuine hands‑on aptitude and sound operational instincts, even without much data center experience yet.

• Some hands‑on technical or operations experience, in a data center, a comparable critical environment, or an adjacent technical trade.
• Demonstrated aptitude for hardware work. You're comfortable with component‑level tasks and rack and stack.
• A basic understanding of how a network link works, including copper and fibre cabling.
• A methodical approach to faults. You work a problem step by step rather than trying things until something changes.
• Operational discipline. You understand criticality, and you stop and escalate rather than improvising when you're unsure.
• Ability and willingness to work an on‑site shift rotation.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and a broad scope of work.

Nice to have

• Any exposure to liquid cooling or GPU hardware
• Interest in growing into fibre optics and link‑level troubleshooting work.

What's Next

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.
