[Hiring] Head of Compute Engineering @Impossible Cloud

2wks ago - Impossible Cloud is hiring a remote Head of Compute Engineering. πŸ’Έ Salary: unspecified πŸ“Location: USA

Role Description

As the Head of Compute Engineering, you will work with a small but growing team of engineers, roll up your sleeves on architecture and code, and own both the development as well as the day-to-day health of our compute infrastructure. This is the right role for a senior engineer who is ready to step fully into engineering leadership without losing their technical edge.

What You'll Do

  • Contribute directly to architecture and code, particularly on GPU provisioning, orchestration, and the customer control plane
  • Lead a team of engineers across platform infrastructure, backend services, and internal tooling
  • Own the engineering delivery process: planning, prioritisation, and execution in close collaboration with the founding team
  • Implement and maintain observability, alerting, and on-call processes to meet customer SLAs
  • Hire and onboard engineers as the team grows; act as a culture carrier for technical excellence
  • Work directly with early customers to understand their GPU workload requirements and feed these into the roadmap

Qualifications

  • 7+ years of engineering experience, with at least 1-2 years in a tech lead or engineering manager capacity within the GPU space
  • Practical experience with GPU compute - CUDA environments, NVIDIA drivers, MIG/vGPU, or similar
  • Experience with container orchestration (Kubernetes, Docker) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Ansible)
  • Deep understanding of GPU cluster management and GPU compute layers (bare-metal provisioning, k8s, inference software, …)
  • Startup mindset: you move fast, take ownership, and are energised rather than overwhelmed by ambiguity

Bonus

  • Experience in hyperscalers or Neocloud infrastructure, or data centre deployments
  • Deep knowledge of job schedulers (Slurm, LSF, Ray), networking (InfiniBand/RoCE), large-scale storage systems (VAST, Weka, DAOS, Ceph, AWS S3, Lustre, GPFS), GPU inference and fine-tuning customer workloads (vLLM, LanceDB …)

Benefits

  • Rare opportunity to be the technical lead at a company at the centre of the AI infrastructure boom
  • Hands-on role with real technical depth - this is not a purely managerial position
  • Attractive equity for an early employee in a high-growth space
  • Work directly with founders and have a real voice in product and company direction
