About CloudLinux
CloudLinux is the maker of Imunify360 — a suite of security products protecting millions of websites across the web hosting industry — and of CloudLinux OS, the operating system behind a large share of the world's shared hosting. Alongside those established product lines we run a small innovation team whose job is to find and prove the next ones. We are looking for a Product Owner to lead that team.
Задачи (Responsibilities):
•Run the pipeline of product concepts: capture, size and rank ideas with their assumptions written down, and keep the backlog of bets visible to the CPO and leadership
•Take each funded concept to a working MVP on a fixed timebox, typically one quarter, with a named customer or design partner testing it
•Define success criteria up front and report against them with real numbers rather than adjectives: usage, conversion, willingness to pay, support load
•Make the go / no-go call honestly: hand proven products to a product line with a written runbook and roadmap, and capture what was learned from concepts that did not prove out
•Report status and risk to the CPO weekly; every item carries an owner and a due date
•Choose the fastest credible build for each concept — buy, borrow, open source or write — with the trade-offs made explicit
•Build prototypes and demo stands yourself where that is the quickest route to evidence; review designs and code on everything the team ships
•Keep MVPs production-worthy enough to run on real customer servers: packaging, safe rollout, rollback and observability from the first release
•Work with the architecture group and the product teams so a successful MVP can be adopted without a rewrite
•Lead a small distributed team: 1:1s, goal setting, performance reviews, and career development
•Hire: define the profile, run technical interviews, onboard, and mentor engineers
•Set the working agreements that make fast async work possible — written decisions, public-by-default communication, demos over status meetings
•As the lead, model and coach: prompt specificity, review quality on agent-generated code, context provision, iteration and error recovery, and end-to-end task completion. Expect to use agents to build prototypes, generate test corpora and draft customer-facing material.
Требования (Requirements):
•5+ years as a software engineer, with 2+ years leading a small team (team lead, tech lead with people responsibility, founder or engineering manager) building new products in a product company or startup
•A track record of taking at least one product from concept to first paying customers, and of stopping one that did not work
•Strong Linux proficiency at a software engineer level; comfortable building and reviewing code in a modern language (Python, Go, TypeScript) and debugging live systems on the box
•Practical product discovery skills: customer interviews, assumption mapping, pricing experiments, and reading usage and conversion data yourself rather than via reports
•Experience mastering a complex technical domain quickly and making credible architectural decisions in it
•Demonstrated people leadership: 1:1s, performance conversations, hiring, and growing engineers
•Experience working in an agentic / AI-assisted development workflow
•Professional proficiency in English, written and spoken
•Availability to work EU hours
Будет плюсом (Nice to have):
•Experience in the web hosting ecosystem: cPanel/WHM, Plesk, DirectAdmin, or running infrastructure for a hosting provider
•Background in security products — runtime protection, web application firewalls, malware detection, vulnerability management or patching
•Experience with freemium or product-led growth models and self-serve billing
•Familiarity with the Node.js or Python runtimes and their package ecosystems
•Comfortable presenting to customers and at industry events
Условия (Conditions):
•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
