Platform Engineer (Bare Metal) - Entry to Mid-level

Impossible Cloud • DE

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.
