Platform Engineer - Distributed Systems / Decentralise Cloud

About Us

Impossible Cloud is a fast‑growing B2B cloud company headquartered in Hamburg, Germany. We have built a cloud object storage solution comparable to AWS S3, purpose‑built and optimised for AI and compute workloads. Our commercial hyper‑growth speaks for itself, powered by our channel‑first go‑to‑market strategy.

We are now expanding beyond storage: we are building a high‑performance compute platform, offering an end‑to‑end solution from GPU infrastructure to full GPU platform software stack. In doing so, we are redefining the cloud ecosystem by bridging the gap between decentralised infrastructure (DePIN), mainstream B2B cloud use cases, and AI applications.
