Senior Automation Engineer (remote work)

Cloudlinux

15h • Remote

About The Position

CloudLinux builds Linux infrastructure and security products. You will join our Automation & Management Services cell, working closely with Dmitrii Petrov to solve problems across teams and services: cloud-cost data, infrastructure inventory, network policies and capacity workflows. We are looking for a Senior Automation Engineer to join the Infrastructure team. You will independently own agreed outcomes—from clarifying the need with engineering teams, Finance or Security to delivering and operating a useful system. The work includes new development, improvements, repairs and maintenance. There is no traditional on-call rotation; you respond to alerts from your own systems during working hours.

Requirements

• Senior-level experience, typically 5+ years in software, infrastructure, platform or automation engineering.
• You can explain your own design decisions, implementation and operational results.
• Strong production Python, software design, testing, debugging and API integration skills.
• You can understand unfamiliar code and improve existing systems.
• Hands-on AWS experience and solid Linux/networking fundamentals, including diagnosis across host, service, network and cloud boundaries.
• Practical SQL and data validation: joins, units, periods, ownership mappings and reconciliation.
• You distinguish evidence from assumptions.
• Safe infrastructure delivery through IaC and CI: state, drift, idempotency, dependencies and rollback, using tools such as Terraform/OpenTofu and Ansible.
• Demonstrated advanced coding-agent workflows for real engineering tasks.
• You plan and delegate substantial work, supply context, run agents without continuous supervision within defined permissions and stop conditions, and independently explain, debug, test and verify their output.
• Autonomous delivery and clear collaboration: investigate problems, obtain decisions, challenge unsafe or unnecessarily complex approaches and follow through.
• English B2 or higher for technical discussions, written decisions and internal customer communication.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with cloud billing or FinOps tooling (e.g. AWS CUR/FOCUS, Athena), inventory or event-driven integrations (e.g. NetBox or similar), network policies, flow monitoring, identity and access management, capacity tooling, additional cloud platforms, OpenNebula, Kubernetes, Go, or self-service systems.
• Prior experience with every tool or domain is not required. We value the ability to quickly learn unfamiliar technologies, products, and internal business rules.

Responsibilities

• Turn an incomplete brief into an agreed result and workable plan.
• Track cross-team dependencies, explain tradeoffs, raise blockers early and communicate changes to estimates.
• Confirm completion with the users.
• Build maintainable software and cloud/infrastructure API integrations.
• Handle credentials, pagination, retries, partial failures and repeated execution so unattended workflows remain safe and reliable.
• Transform billing, usage and inventory data into repeatable outputs.
• Reconcile totals and periods, apply agreed allocation rules and make missing or uncertain mappings visible.
• Extend inventory, network-policy and capacity automation using existing systems.
• Retain necessary human decisions and verify the operational result.
• Deliver changes through version-controlled code and CI.
• Understand live state, test recovery and release safely; diagnose failures across code, Linux, APIs, data and networking.
• Own monitoring, actionable alerts, documentation and maintenance.
• Leave systems another engineer can operate, and use coding agents while remaining responsible for design, code, tests and outcomes.

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 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.
