Product Manager — Serverless & Containers

About

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 pragmatic builders.

We operate with low hierarchy, high ownership, and a strong bias for action.

We’ve already achieved a lot, but we’re just getting started.

Now it’s your chance to join the ride.

Join Verda while it’s still being built — not once it’s finished!

Responsibilities

• Own Verda’s containers and serverless offering — from managed container workloads through to our new Functions-as-a-Service (Faa S) products, as well as our Managed Kubernetes offering.
• Make development and deployment seamless for developers and teams without incurring them the overhead of service management.
• Formulate, own and evolve product strategy and roadmap for containers and serverless, balancing out customer needs, internal requirements and business goals.
• Champion a developer‑first experience: deploy in minutes, scale to zero, fast cold starts, on‑demand GPUs, and pay‑per‑use pricing.
• Identify and act on product opportunities, be aware of where the industry is going and be part of forming that, not just reacting.
• Define and own success metrics — adoption, usage, retention, and margin.

Qualifications

• 3–5 years in product management / product ownership for a technical or developer‑facing product, ideally in cloud, infrastructure, or platform.
• Solid grasp of containers and serverless as a domain — containerization, orchestration (Caa S, Paa S, Kubernetes as a Service), and the Faa S / event‑driven model.
• Know the language of developers; not required to code but should speak it fluently.
• Familiarity with AI/ML workloads and GPU‑backed compute — what teams need to train, fine‑tune, and serve models.
• Strong sense of developer experience — you understand what makes an API or platform a pleasure (or a pain) to build on.
• Experience with building, launching and running cloud products and shaping them through experiences gathered.
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable operating in fast‑moving and sometimes ambiguous environments.
• Self‑sufficient, proactive, and ownership‑driven mindset.
• Experience collaborating across Product, Engineering, and Leadership teams.
• Nice to have
• A hands‑on/technical background (former engineer or solutions architect).
• Familiarity with usage‑based pricing models.
• Understanding of the European cloud and sovereignty landscape.
• Experience defining product metrics, and prioritization frameworks.
• Ability to work with data independently, including SQL and analytics/dashboarding tools.

Benefits

• 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.
• Opportunity to make a clear impact and work alongside world‑class engineers, researchers, and partners across the global AI ecosystem.
