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.
YOUR IMPACT
To meet our ambition, we must push distributed systems beyond what people consider possible!
As an experienced (Staff / Principal / Lead) Infrastructure Engineer, you will design, deploy, and automate the foundational infrastructure that supports our cloud storage platform. This role focuses on end-to-end provisioning of physical and virtual infrastructure, from server and network configuration to operating system deployment. You will play a vital role in enabling both Day 1 (initial setup) and Day 2 (ongoing operations) activities, ensuring our systems are scalable, automated, and highly available.
IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL
- Provision, deploy, and configure physical servers and networking components to support cloud infrastructure.
- Design and implement efficient networking solutions with a focus on latency, throughput, and overall network performance optimization.
- Configure and optimize bare-metal servers as well as hypervisors and management of virtual machines (VMs) across diverse hardware providers (HPs).
- Collaborate with hardware providers to align on system design and integration requirements.
- Automate the provisioning, scaling, and maintenance of hardware infrastructure to ensure rapid and seamless expansion.
- Consult on and contribute to the design of a cloud-like ecosystem, providing technical guidance on infrastructure strategy.
YOU COULD BE A GREAT FIT FOR THE ROLE IF YOU HAVE
- In-depth knowledge of Linux systems, including customization, scripting, and system optimization.
- Proficiency in L2/L3 networking concepts, including redundancy and load-balancing, and experience with performance optimization (latency, throughput).
- Familiarity with IPMI, iDRAC, and other hardware management tools.
- Strong scripting skills with Shell, Bash, or similar languages.
- Experience with hypervisors (e.g., KVM) and managing virtual machines (VMs) at scale.
BONUS POINTS
- Experience with Kubernetes deployment and operation.
- Knowledge of hardware supply chain, vendor management, and capacity planning.
WHAT WE OFFER
• Competitive salary coupled with direct engagement in your success through an enticing ESOP and token participation program.
• 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.
OUR CULTURE
We are committed to success. We embrace individuals from all backgrounds who share the goal of building a future European cloud champion. We place great importance on in-person collaboration and open communication, and we value working together regularly at our Hamburg headquarters. If you are an innovative thinker with a passion for driving success in decentralised technology and the cloud industry, we invite you to apply.
Join a workplace that values your well-being, fosters a vibrant and collaborative atmosphere, and play a key role in shaping the future of the Cloud.
OUR HIRING PROCESS
1. Application Submission
We encourage you to kickstart your application by submitting your comprehensive LinkedIn profile or CV along with the designated application form.
2. Kickoff Call for Selected Candidates
Successful candidates will be invited to participate in a Kickoff call, where we aim to explore your qualifications, experiences, and expectations.
3. Efficient Interview Process
Our commitment is to complete the hiring process in 2 to 4 additional remote and/or on-site steps, according to the specific role and its seniority level.
We believe in moving swiftly to welcome exceptional talent into our dynamic workplace.

What are specific DePIN projects and how the tokenomics work?
Here's a quick breakdown of popular DEPIN sectors and some key projects in each one:
- Helium (HNT)
- Crowd-sourced wireless network for IoT devices (LoRaWAN) and now 5G. People deploy hotspots and get rewarded for providing network coverage.
- Pollen Mobile
- Community-built LTE/5G networks. Similar to Helium but focused more on mobile data.
- Akash Network (AKT)
- Decentralized cloud computing marketplace. Think of it like Airbnb for unused server space.
- Render Network (RNDR)
- Distributed GPU rendering power for 3D rendering, VFX, and AI workloads.
- Filecoin (FIL)
- Decentralized storage network where people rent out unused hard drive space.
- Arweave (AR)
- Permanent data storage on-chain. Great for archiving websites, data, etc.
What is DePIN?
DEPIN stands for Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network
It refers to projects or networks that use blockchain or decentralized technologies to coordinate, manage, and incentivize the building and maintenance of physical infrastructure in the real world
Why DEPIN? Traditionally, building physical infrastructure (like telecom towers or power grids) requires massive centralized entities (governments, corporations)
DEPIN flips this model by using crypto incentives to get individuals or small entities to deploy and maintain physical infrastructure
The goal is to create a more distributed, efficient, and permissionless way to build the infrastructure we rely on
Participants can earn tokens or rewards for contributing resources like:
- Providing internet coverage with hotspots (Helium)
- Hosting storage devices (Filecoin)
- Contributing compute power (Akash Network)
- Running EV chargers or energy systems
