Senior Platform Engineer / SRE - Tech Lead Critical Infrastructure Transformation

Build the internal platform that powers our engineering teams, delivering mission-critical software to 4,000+ cloud hosting providers worldwide.

CloudLinux powers 4,000+ hosting providers managing millions of websites globally. Our infrastructure team is at a critical inflection point – moving from 8+ years of technical debt to building a modern platform. This isn't a typical SRE role; it's a chance to architect the future of infrastructure that cannot fail.

Where we are : Legacy systems, reactive operations, bus factor = 1. OpenNebula bottlenecks blocking releases. 70% time on firefighting.

Where we're going : Self-service platform, Infrastructure as Code, proactive engineering. You'll be one of 2-3 senior engineers leading this transformation alongside a new Infrastructure Director with full B-level support.

What You'll Actually Do

Stabilize & Assess :

• Deep dive into OpenNebula issues with the existing team
• Map critical dependencies and single points of failure
• Implement quick wins (automated VM cleanup, monitoring gaps)
• Begin documenting undocumented systems
