We have built a cloud object storage similar to AWS S3, now optimised for AI and compute. Our market success has already been proved by our commercial hyper-growth, based on our channel-based GTM strategy. While we build a high performance compute platform and a comprehensive suite of cloud services, we are redefining the cloud ecosystem by bridging the gap between decentralized infrastructure (DePIN), mainstream B2B cloud use cases, and most recently AI Applications — all from our HQ in Hamburg.
Please note that we can only consider candidates who have a valid, unrestricted work permit for the EU. We do not provide relocation support.
This role sits at the centre of Impossible Cloud’s growth - ensuring we hire the people who will define the company’s next stage. We believe exceptional companies are defined by exceptional people - and hiring the best drives the success of everything we do. The foundations are already strong: a breakthrough product, solid backing, and world-class leadership. Now the challenge is to scale the team quickly while keeping the bar relentlessly high.
