Infrastructure Operations Engineer (Linux) at CloudLinux

About CloudLinux

CloudLinux is a global remote first company driven by four core principles: do the right thing, employees first, we are remote first, and we deliver high volume, low cost Linux infrastructure and security products that help companies increase the efficiency of their operations. Every person on the team supports each other and does what they can to ensure everyone is successful.

About the Role

CloudLinux is looking for an Infrastructure Operations Engineer (Linux) to join the CloudLinux Infrastructure Team. The Operations (L1) team provides access, compute resources, and internal services, operates production infrastructure, and improves recurring operational work through documentation and automation.

This Job Is Perfect For You If You

• Can independently troubleshoot Linux systems and networked services
• Take ownership of tickets and incidents through verified resolution or a clear escalation
• Make standard production changes safely, with rollback and post change verification
• Communicate clearly with requesters and remote teammates
• Look for practical ways to improve recurring work through documentation and automation

What You Will Do

• Handle onboarding, offboarding, and access management requests under established procedures, applying least privilege, the right approvals, and a check that the requested action actually works, not just the login
• Own common Linux and infrastructure requests and incidents from triage through verified resolution or escalation to a named owner
• Execute and verify standard host provisioning and production server changes across bare metal, private cloud, and public cloud environments, escalating exceptions
• Troubleshoot DNS and perform approved DNS and domain management changes under established procedures
• Execute approved firewall and operating system changes with rollback and post change verification
• Monitor infrastructure and respond to alerts and incidents. Judge recovery by whether people can do their work, not by a green status page, and send regular updates until recovery is confirmed. Tell alert noise from real damage, and fix the routing or ownership of an alert instead of silencing it
• Handle Jira requests according to agreed priorities and response times, keeping requesters informed
• Deploy standard services from approved specifications and runbooks, escalating design decisions
• Document recurring procedures for backup coverage and improve onboarding, offboarding, and access reviews through small automation changes

Requirements

Must Have

• Hands on experience troubleshooting Linux systems in a real or production like environment; RHEL family systems are preferred
• Working knowledge of TCP/IP, DNS, HTTP, and TLS, with the ability to isolate OS, network, and application failures
• Hands on experience with at least one virtualization or cloud environment
• Ability to own an incident or ticket: gather evidence, prioritize by impact, communicate progress, verify recovery, and escalate with a clear hypothesis
• Experience executing standard production changes safely, including rollback and post change verification
• Ability to read and adjust existing automation or create a small Bash or Python improvement, plus practical use of AI assistants for troubleshooting, scripting, and documentation, with verification before production changes
• Clear spoken and written English for asynchronous remote work

Nice to Have

• Experience with OpenNebula, KVM, or another private cloud or virtualization platform
• Familiarity with Ansible or another configuration management tool
• Familiarity with Terraform, GitLab CI, or Jenkins
• Familiarity with Git
• Familiarity with FreeIPA, LDAP, or Google Workspace administration

Benefits

• A focus on professional development
• Interesting and challenging projects
• Fully remote work with flexible working hours, which allows you to schedule your day and work from any location worldwide
• Paid 24 days of vacation per year, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leave
• Compensation for private medical insurance
• Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement
• Budget for education
• The opportunity to receive a reward for the most innovative idea that the company can patent
