Web3 Jobs in Europe

Impossible Cloud Network (ICN)

ICN is building the foundational layer for the next-generation internet - a decentralised cloud platform integrating storage, compute, and networking at global scale. With $31M in funding and 1,000+ enterprise clients, we're challenging the dominance of centralised cloud giants.

The Role

A senior, hands-on leadership role at the intersection of data centre operations, remote hardware provisioning, and distributed infrastructure. You'll own the technical relationship with our Hardware Providers (HPs) - the operators who supply the bare metal compute and storage that powers ICN. This is a founding-team-level hire: you will help set the north star for the entire team. 

What You'll Own

Hardware Onboarding

• End-to-end technical onboarding for new Hardware Providers

• Remote installation tooling, validation pipelines, and SLA testing

• Direct troubleshooting of connectivity, firmware, BIOS/BMC, and OS-level issues

Data Centre Operations

• GPU cluster management: bare-metal provisioning, InfiniBand/RoCE networking, NVMe/distributed storage

• Hardware standards across the provider network (GPU types, networking, storage configs)

• Operational playbooks lifecycle management, and capacity planning

• Primary escalation point for hardware incidents

Service Provider Communication Layer

• Real-time messaging and alerting interface within the ICN console

• Escalation workflows and SLA communication protocols between ICN, SPs, and HPs

Team Leadership

• Lead and grow a 7-person infrastructure engineering team

• Hire, onboard, and develop engineers as the function scales

• Contribute directly to architecture and code across GPU provisioning and the control plane

What We're Looking For

• 8+ years in infrastructure, data centre, or systems engineering; 3+ years in technical leadership

• Hands-on experience at the hardware - software boundary: IPMI, PXE, BIOS/firmware, NIC configuration

• Strong Linux, cloud infrastructure, and data centre networking background

• Experience operating hardware onboarding pipelines across large, multi-region server fleets

• Startup DNA - you've built things from scratch and move fast without sacrificing reliability

Bonus: GPU infrastructure (H100/A100, InfiniBand), DePIN/Web3, internal developer tooling, real-time operational consoles

You'll Thrive Here If You…

• Are as comfortable in a Terraform module as presenting infrastructure strategy to leadership

• Care about operator experience - you want hardware providers to love working with ICN

• Are energised by zero-to-one challenges and write clearly for external partners
