Linux OS and hosting security platform for multi-tenant service providers
CloudLinux builds an operating system and security stack purpose-built for shared hosting environments, where density and isolation are core constraints. The hiring mix is heavily weighted to engineering (112 roles) and security (16), with active projects spanning threat hunting, live kernel patching, and AI-driven threat analysis—reflecting a shift toward automation and intelligence-driven operations. The tech stack (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Kubernetes, ClickHouse) and adoption of Terraform, Ansible, and Claude indicate infrastructure modernization and increased reliance on AI tooling to solve scaling and malware detection challenges.
