pstrongJob Title: Senior Platform Engineer — Intelligent Automation /strong /ppstrongCompany: /strong Verkko (verkko.Ai) /ppstrongLocation: /strong Hybrid (Pisa, Italy) /ppstrongType: /strong Full-time /ppbr / /ppstrongAbout the Role /strong /ppWe are building the operating system for autonomous intelligence. /ppFor the next 9 months, our execution focus is strongDigital Automation /strong. We are building the Verkko Platform: a sovereign, edge-first infrastructure that allows organizations to deploy autonomous agents that handle complex, multi-step digital tasks without human intervention. We are not building LLM wrappers or chatbots. We are integrating our proprietary strongVoltaic /strong spiking intelligence engine into a robust digital execution layer. /ppThis role is about building the strongdigital nervous system /strong of Verkko. You will ensure the Voltaic engine is seamlessly integrated into our API, workflow orchestration, and data pipelines, enabling efficient, low-cost, and persistent digital automation. /ppbr / /ppstrongKey Responsibilities (Next 9 Months: Digital Focus) /strong /ppbr / /ppstrong1. Digital Automation Orchestration (Primary) /strong /pp· strongWorkflow Engine: /strong Develop and optimize the orchestration layer that translates high-level goals into executable digital tasks (API calls, data processing, content generation, internal tool usage). /pp· strongIntegration Layer: /strong Build robust connectors to enterprise systems (CRM, ERP, Communication tools). The intelligence (Voltaic) makes decisions; br / your code executes themreliably. /pp· strongState Management: /strong Implement the stateful memory interface for digital agents. Ensure the agent’s "Living Memory" (HSC v2) is correctly updated and retrieved during multi-step digital workflows. /pp· strongReliability Safety: /strong Build guardrails and verification loops that ensure digital automations are accurate. We rely on high-quality rationales and automated verification, not "Human-in-the-Loop" for basic checks. /ppbr / /ppstrong2. Voltaic Engine Integration (Secondary) /strong /pp· strongInference Pipeline: /strong Manage the deployment of the Voltaic spiking model for digital tasks. Optimize for latency and cost,



ensuring the model runs efficiently on our cloud/edge hybrid infrastructure. /pp· strongContinuous Learning Loop: /strong Implement feedback mechanisms that allow the digital agent to learn from successful and failed automated tasks. This is where the "non-forgetting" architecture shines in a digital context. /pp· strongDrift Monitoring: /strong Monitor the accuracy of the agent’s decisions over time. Ensure ContextFlow retrieval remains relevant as the digital environment changes. /ppbr / /ppstrongThe Trajectory: Beyond 9 Months (Physical AI) /strong /ppemThis is critical for the right candidate. /em /ppWhile the next 9 months are focused on proving the model in the digital realm, Verkko’s long-term trajectory is strongPhysical AI and Robotics /strong. The digital platform you are building now is the strongcore engine /strong that will eventually be deployed into physical robotic bodies. /ppbr / /ppstrongWhy your current work matters for the future: /strong /pp· strongOrchestration is Universal: /strong The logic you build to orchestrate digital tasks (APIs, data flows) is the same logic required to orchestrate physical actions (servo control, sensor input, motor output). /pp· strongPersistent Memory is Critical: /strong In digital automation, memory allows an agent to remember past workflows. In robotics, it allows a machine to remember physical environments, obstacles, and operational constraints without resetting. /pp· strongEdge-First Efficiency: /strong We are optimizing Voltaic for low latency and low power emnow /em because these are non-negotiable constraints for battery-powered robots emlater /em. /ppBy joining now, you are not just building a digital tool. You are building the strongbrain /strong that will eventually live in factories, fields, and vehicles.



The skills you develop in orchestration, memory management, and efficient inference during this digital phase will directly translate to the physical layer in 12–18 months. /ppbr / /ppstrongRequirements /strong /ppstrongMust-Haves: /strong /pp· strongStrong Backend Engineering: /strong Expert-level proficiency in strongPython /strong or strongGo /strong. You must be comfortable building high-throughput, reliable backend services. /pp· strongAPI Integration Experience: /strong Proven experience building and consuming complex APIs, handling webhooks, and integrating with third-party SaaS platforms. /pp· strongUnderstanding of Agent Systems: /strong Experience with AI models in a production environment. You must understand that strongcontext, memory, and state /strong are more important than raw token generation. /pp· strongSystems Thinking: /strong You understand that "AI" is just the brain. The value is in the execution layer. You care about idempotency, error handling, and state consistency. /ppbr / /ppstrongNice-to-Haves: /strong /pp·strongEdge/Embedded Experience: /strong Familiarity with deploying models on constrained hardware (ARM, NVIDIA Jetson). emThis is a strong plus for the long-term robotics trajectory, even if not strictly required for the digital phase. /em /pp· strongSpiking Neural Networks (SNNs): /strong Familiarity with SNN frameworks or spiking dynamics. /pp· strongVector Databases/Knowledge Graphs: /strong Experience with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) at an architectural level. /ppbr / /ppstrongWhat We Are NOT Looking For /strong /pp· strongLLM Wrappers: /strong If your experience is purely in building chat interfaces or simple RAG pipelines, this is not the role. /pp· strongCloud-Only LLM Optimizers: /strong We are not tuning prompts for a GPT-4 wrapper. We are building a sovereign inference engine with its own memory architecture. /pp· strongPure Frontend Developers: /strong This is a core infrastructure role. /ppbr / /ppstrongHow to Apply /strong /ppSend your CV and a brief note about your experience with strongbackend platform engineering /strong and strongAI integration /strong to /p
