TL;DR
Senior Procurement Engineer, AI Infrastructure (AI infrastructure and procurement): Evaluating GPU server platforms, cluster designs, supplier proposals, and emerging technologies for AI infrastructure sourcing with an accent on technical specifications, vendor assessment, and total cost of ownership. Focus on defining hardware reference architectures, challenging vendor assumptions, and building procurement frameworks for power, cooling, maintenance, and lifecycle costs.
Senior Procurement Engineer, AI Infrastructure
Imagine a future where everyone has instant, low-cost access to intelligence. We’re building a fully featured European AI cloud - with everything one needs to train, experiment with, and deploy AI models. In addition, our GPUs run on 100% renewable energy.
We’re ambitious, curious, and gutsy doers. We practice a low hierarchy across the company and high morale in our teams. We’ve already achieved a lot, yet we’re only getting started. Now it’s your chance to join the ride. We offer more than just the job - we offer a career-defining opportunity to be part of building something big! Join Verda while it’s still being built - not once it’s finished.
WHY VERDA
* Cash + equity compensation along with various fringe benefits (e.g., healthcare, lunch, wellbeing, etc.).
* Profitable operations with rapid, sustained growth.
* 31 nationalities, with 6 different ones on the management team.
* An opportunity with make a clear impact and work alongside world-class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.
PRACTICALITIES
* Work mode: Onsite in Helsinki with frequent travel
* Employment type: Full-time and permanent.
ABOUT THE ROLE
AI infrastructure procurement is getting more technical. GPUs, server architectures, networking, storage, power, and cooling all feed into sourcing decisions that are capital-intensive and hard to reverse. Today there's a gap between what Engineering knows and what Procurement needs to know to negotiate well and choose right. We're hiring someone to close it.
We are looking for a Senior Procurement Engineer, AI Infrastructure to be the technical advisor embedded within our Procurement team. You will provide the technical backbone for AI infrastructure sourcing, evaluating GPU server platforms, supplier proposals, and emerging technologies; challenging vendor assumptions; analyzing total cost of ownership; and building the frameworks and knowledge that turn Procurement into a genuinely technical, strategic function.
This is not a highly structured engineering role. You'll often evaluate new technologies and make recommendations where there's no predefined process and no clear answer. Comfort with ambiguity, independent thinking, and sound judgment matter as much as deep technical knowledge.
This is a rare chance to step beyond a purely engineering career into a strategic role combining AI infrastructure expertise, supplier engagement, and executive-level exposure at a rapidly growing AI infrastructure company!
WHAT YOU WILL DO
* Act as the primary technical advisor to Procurement leadership on AI infrastructure sourcing decisions across GPU servers, networking, storage, power, and cooling.
* Evaluate AI server platforms, GPU architectures, and cluster designs from OEMs, ODMs, and technology vendors. Assess emerging technologies for scalability and business impact.
* Define and maintain hardware reference architectures and standards, and approve specifications and bills of materials (BoMs).
* Review and challenge vendor proposals, technical assumptions, and roadmaps; support supplier evaluations by surfacing trade-offs, risks, and differentiators.
* Analyze total cost of ownership. Power, cooling, maintenance, spare parts, and lifecycle to support long-term sourcing decisions.
* Build internal technical competency: deliver knowledge-sharing sessions, develop reference materials, and create the AI Infrastructure Procurement Playbook.
* Translate technical requirements into sourcing specifications and evaluation criteria, working closely with Infrastructure, Engineering, and Operations teams.
