Platform Infrastructure Engineer at CUDOS

About Us:

We’re Cudo! We have several strings to our bow but this role is dedicated to our cloud platform.

Cudo Compute is a fairer cloud computing platform for everyone. It provides access to distributed resources by leveraging underutilised computing globally on idle & spare data centre hardware. It allows users to deploy virtual machines on the world's first democratised cloud platform, finding the optimal resources in the ideal location at the best price.

Cudo Compute aims to democratise the public cloud by delivering a more sustainable economic, environmental, and societal model for computing by empowering businesses and individuals to monetise unused resources.

Our platform allows organisations and developers to deploy, run and scale based on demands without the constraints of centralised cloud environments. As a result, we realise significant availability, proximity and cost benefits for customers by simplifying their access to a broader pool of high-powered computing and distributed resources at the edge.

We are scaling fast and hiring talented people globally to join us on our journey.
