Description

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

Team: Engineering

Location: Hamburg

Commitment: Full-time

Workplace Type: onsite

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.

  • Contribute to a cloud-like infrastructure ecosystem by writing and reviewing infrastructure automation code, enhancing internal tooling, and sharing best practices.

WHAT YOU BRING:

  • Good knowledge of Linux systems, including customization, scripting, and system optimization.
  • Experience with L2/L3 networking concepts, including redundancy and load-balancing, and with performance optimization (latency, throughput).
  • Familiarity with IPMI, Redfish, iDRAC, and other hardware management tools.
  • Good scripting skills with Shell, Bash, or similar languages.
  • Bonus points: 
  • Experience with Kubernetes deployment and operation.
  • Knowledge of hardware supply chain, vendor management, and capacity planning.
  • Experience with hypervisors (e.g., KVM) and managing virtual machines (VMs) at scale.

WHAT WE OFFER:

  • Competitive salary coupled with direct engagement in your success through an enticing ESOP.
  • Clear and transparent career progression scheme inspired by the best performing organisations incl. fast track promotion opportunity for exceptional performance to support your growth ambitions.
  • Prime growth-stage company with proven revenue and a sharp edge in cloud — founded by serial entrepreneurs with multiple successful exits.
  • Experienced, passionate team working with cutting-edge cloud technology.
  • A vibrant office in a trendy location with free brain food and a canteen — plus a subsidized premium gym membership and monthly team meet-ups that bring the whole crew together!
