We are looking for an Infrastructure Operations Engineer (Linux) to join the CloudLinux Infrastructure Team. Our 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
As part of the Infrastructure team, you will:
- Handle onboarding, offboarding, and access-management requests under established procedures: 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; escalate 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; escalate 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; 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
What's in it for you?
- 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 leaves.
- 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.
