Jobbeschreibung

BUILD THE NEXT GENERATION OF THE INTERNET

Impossible Cloud is a B2B cloud platform with a focus on becoming the #1 cloud platform in Europe and beyond. It was founded by serial entrepreneurs who have previously built a billion‑euro tech company.

Currently, our offering includes cloud object storage similar to AWS S3, and our market success is already being proven by highly promising growth based on our channel‑based GTM strategy. While we build a comprehensive suite of cloud products, we are redefining the cloud sector by bridging the gap between decentralized infrastructure (DePIN) and mainstream B2B cloud use cases.

Become part of something bigger: We’re committed to reinventing the internet and pushing technological innovation and business determination to the next level.

• Automate the provisioning, scaling, and maintenance of hardware infrastructure to ensure rapid and seamless expansion.
• Contribute to a cloud‑like infrastructure ecosystem by writing and reviewing infrastructure automation code, enhancing internal tooling, and sharing best practices.

YOU COULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR THE ROLE IF YOU HAVE

• Good knowledge of Linux systems, including customization, scripting, and system optimization.
• Experience with L2/L3 networking concepts, including redundancy and load‑balancing, and with performance optimization (latency, throughput).
• Familiarity with IPMI, Redfish, iDRAC, and other hardware management tools.
• Good scripting skills with Shell, Bash, or similar languages.

BONUS POINTS

• Experience with Kubernetes deployment and operation.
• Knowledge of hardware supply chain, vendor management, and capacity planning.
• Experience with hypervisors (e.g., KVM) and managing virtual machines (VMs) at scale.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Competitive salary.
• Ideal company stage with established initial revenue and a distinctive edge in the web3 industry.
• Collaboration with experienced, passionate, and supportive colleagues, leveraging cutting‑edge technology.
• Fantastic office situated in a trendy location with access to complimentary healthy brain food and a subsidized premium gym membership.
• Monthly collaborative meet‑up weeks featuring team events.
