Job description

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.

As a Founder’s Associate Intern, you will work directly with the founders on strategic and operational priorities across the entire organization. You will play a key supporting role in scaling a category-defining cloud company that aims to outcompete AWS and reshape cloud infrastructure from the ground up. This internship provides unparalleled exposure to high-velocity decision-making and the inner workings of a hyper-ambitious tech scale-up.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Operate at the Core of the Business: Support strategic and operational initiatives across departments (Product, Commercial, Finance, Operations) to drive progress on the company’s most important priorities.
Support the Founders on Key Initiatives: Contribute to research, preparation, and execution of projects led by the founders; ranging from investor, vendor, and partner engagements to internal projects.
Own and Deliver High-Impact Workstreams: Take ownership of high-priority workstreams from analysis to follow-through while ensuring tasks move forward quickly, reliably, and with high quality.
Keep Stakeholders Aligned: Ensure smooth information flow online and offline across teams and external stakeholders (e.g., investors, partners, lawyers), delivering updates precisely and on time.
Enable AI-Driven Efficiency: Help evaluate and implement cutting-edge AI tools to unlock efficiency and operational leverage across departments.

WHAT YOU BRING:

Exceptional Academic Performance: Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from a Bachelor’s or Master’s program with top marks (e.g., business, economics, engineering, computer science, data science, or related).
Experience: You have a proven track record of working in a dynamic and fast paced environment (e.g. consulting or start-ups)
Analytical & Structured Thinking: You break problems down clearly, build insight from research/data, and communicate results in a concise narrative.
High Ownership Mindset: You operate proactively, don’t wait for instructions, and enjoy turning ambiguity into action.
Tech & AI Curiosity: You actively explore tools, emerging technologies, and automation to work smarter.
Bilingual: Fluent in German and English.

WHAT WE OFFER:

Comprehensive Training: Work directly with experienced team members across the business and get real feedback that helps you grow.

Mentorship and Development: A senior leader will be personally assigned to you to guide and support you throughout your internship.

Practical Experience: From day one you'll contribute to real projects and collaborate with teams across the company.

Community and Networking: Take part in our monthly team meetup weeks, join team events, and start building your professional network early.

Career Advancement: Exceptional interns are considered for full-time roles. We believe in growing talent from within.

Additional Perks: Great office in a trendy Hamburg location, free healthy brain food, a canteen and a subsidized premium gym membership.

OUR CULTURE:

We are committed to success. We embrace individuals from all backgrounds who share the goal of building a future European cloud champion, celebrated through a richly diverse team of 15+ nationalities and 10+ languages spoken.
