CloudLinux develops the Linux-based infrastructure that powers shared hosting worldwide, run by a fully distributed team of 250+ people since 2009.
CloudLinux builds the infrastructure that powers shared hosting worldwide. Founded in 2009, the company works in Linux, server infrastructure and hosting platform software, serving the web hosting and internet infrastructure industries. It employs more than 250 people and reports over 500 combined years of Linux experience among its staff.
The team has been fully distributed since the company was founded, operating remotely across the globe. Its stated working principles include flexibility, transparency and a trust-based approach to autonomy: there is no hour tracking and no rigid schedules, and the company says it aims to accommodate travel, hobbies and family commitments alongside work. Internal processes are described as free of bureaucracy and unnecessary control.
CloudLinux places weight on customer responsiveness, stating that unhappy customers mobilise the entire team, and on the development of its own staff. Many managers and senior leaders are said to have been promoted from junior positions. The company characterises its environment as one built for technologists with a strong interest in their field, with learning and growth treated as core to the work.
