CloudLinux Inc., the maker of the #1 OS in security and stability for hosting providers. It is an innovative security solution designed specifically for shared and VPS/Dedicated servers. The automated, easy-to-use solution with the six-layer approach to security delivers comprehensive and complete attack prevention.
We’re looking for **an SDET Automation Lead** who can transform a technically capable but operationally strained QA team into a strategic, AI-powered quality engineering function. This is the opportunity to fundamentally rethink how we assure quality at scale.
**What You’ll Own**
* Strategy & Architecture:
* Define key product quality metrics and build a strategic multi-quarter QA roadmap
* Execute the defined QA roadmap
* Expand test coverage systematically: prioritize by risk, by impact
* Own the test system infrastructure and the resource strategy
* People & Execution:
* Build a team culture focused on heavy AI & automation usage
* Restructure on-duty rotation so it’s equitable and sustainable
* Mentor 6 SDETs from “test writers” to “product quality engineers” who own subsystems end-to-end
* Create career growth paths
**Tech Stack:**
* Test Framework – pytest, Python, Playwright (emerging)
* CI/CD – Jenkins (Multibranch Pipelines, 100+ jobs), GitLab CI (migration target)
* Infrastructure – OpenNebula (VM orchestration), S3/Ceph
* Reporting – Allure Framework (POC), Redash/ClickHouse (current)
* Communication – Slack (daily reports, bots), Jira (DEF project, 1200+ issues)
**Requirements**
**Must have:**
* 5+ years in test automation, 2+ years leading a QA team (5+ engineers)
* Deep experience with Linux-based product testing (RPM, systemd, multi-distro matrix)
* Proven track record of dramatically improving test reliability metrics
* Experience building or integrating AI/ML into QA workflows (not theoretical — show us what you shipped)
* Strong Python skills (the entire test framework and tooling is Python)
* CI/CD pipeline architecture experience (Jenkins Pipelines > GitLab CI is upcoming)
**Must demonstrate:**
* Strategic thinking
* Delegation instinct: you’d build processes that distribute and track ownership
* Data-driven execution: You measure, set targets, and hold teams accountable to metrics
* Strategic initiative: You proactively propose and drive improvements, not wait for problems to be assigned to you
* Automation bias: If a human does it daily (like the nightly report), it should be automated — period
**Nice to have:**
* VM orchestration/cloud infrastructure testing experience
* Security product testing background (WAF, antivirus)
**Benefits**
**What’s in it for you?**
* A focus on professional development
* Interesting and challenging projects
* Fully remote work with flexible working hours, that 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
