Virtuozzo is a leading innovator in virtualization and cloud infrastructure solutions, empowering service providers worldwide to build and manage any cloud—private, public, or hybrid—efficiently and cost-effectively. We pioneered container-based virtualization technologies and actively contribute to foundational OSS projects such as OpenVZ, Linux kernel, Kubernetes, CRIU, KVM, OpenStack, and more

The Role

Lead Virtuozzo's powerhouse engineering team crafting Virtuozzo Hybrid Infrastructure, the go-to platform for service providers building resilient, software-defined data centers. Guide development of distributed storage, virtualization, cluster orchestration, high availability, VM management, monitoring, and seamless updates through UI and REST APIs. As a player/coach, you'll mentor top talent, drive technical excellence, and deliver features that scale to millions—perfect if you love leading complex projects while staying close to the code.

Key Responsibilities

Lead a team of 5-10 senior engineers: set vision, prioritize roadmaps, and foster a high-performance culture.

Architect major features for cluster lifecycle, HA systems, and performance optimization; contribute hands-on code as needed.

Champion code quality by overseeing automated testing strategies, CI/CD pipelines, and technical debt reduction.

Collaborate with product, QA, and support teams to resolve production issues and evolve the platform based on customer feedback.

Mentor engineers on best practices in Linux systems, networking, and distributed design; conduct code reviews and grow talent.

Required Skills & Experience

5+ years in software engineering with 2+ years leading teams; expert in Python, Rust, Go, or C/C++ for production systems.

Authoritative knowledge of Linux kernel architecture (e.g., NUMA, scheduling, I/O) and networking (SDN, TCP/IP stacks).

Proven track record guiding distributed systems projects; strong problem-solving to unblock teams on tough challenges.

Leadership chops: experience mentoring, running agile processes, and delivering under deadlines.

Preferred Skills (Standout Plus)

Deep experience with hypervisors (KVM), containers (Docker/Podman), Kubernetes, or distributed storage.

Background in system programming, kernel internals (Linux/Windows/FreeBSD), or fault-tolerant architectures.

Proficiency in automation (Ansible, Bash, Terraform) and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

Web development for UI/REST (JavaScript, HTML/CSS); bonus for performance tuning and observability tools.
