Engineering Manager, Language Security (remote work)

Company: CloudLinux

TuxCare offers a portfolio of security solutions for Linux and open-source software aimed at enterprise organizations. With TuxCare, enterprises can automate live vulnerability patching, minimize downtime, keep their applications secure and compliant, and get support from a team that knows Linux security best - covering the most popular Linux distributions, end-of-life systems, programming languages, and much more.
We are looking for an experienced Engineering Manager to take ownership of TuxCare's Language Security Research function — a group of four teams responsible for delivering security patches for end-of-life and non-EOL open-source language runtimes and frameworks.
TuxCare's Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS) helps organizations continue using end-of-life software securely. We provide security patches for unsupported versions of Linux distributions and language ecosystems — including Java, JavaScript/Node.js, Python, PHP, Go, Spring, Angular, Django, Flask, and more.
This is a manager-focused role within a technical delivery environment, where broad language ecosystem expertise and strong engineering leadership are both essential. You will manage four teams (:18 engineers) across Java, JavaScript/Go, Python, and PHP disciplines, setting the technical direction and operational standards for the entire function.

* Manage onboarding and ramp-up of new team members, projects, and libraries into the team's scope
Technical Direction
* Set and enforce standards for CVE analysis, vulnerability assessment, patch backporting, and security release processes across all language ecosystems
* Drive consistency in tooling and workflows across teams (CI/CD pipelines, patch delivery, release processes)
* Evaluate and guide AI-assisted automation for backporting and vulnerability discovery
* Serve as the final technical escalation point for complex or cross-team security issues
Delivery & Operations
* Own SLA compliance across all language platforms
* Align team efforts with client expectations and delivery commitments
* Organise and continuously improve development workflows and engineering processes
* Coordinate internal documentation and ensure it reflects the actual state of each project
* Ensure smooth coordination between language teams and OS, Docker, and platform teams
* Manage scope boundaries and overlap with OS and platform teams, particularly around shared dependencies and cross-ecosystem vulnerabilities

Nice to have:
* Hands-on experience identifying and analysing vulnerabilities in language-ecosystem applications
* Understanding of the security vulnerability lifecycle (CVE, CVSS, CWE, CSAF/VEX)
* Background in open-source security, supply chain security, or ELS-type products
* Experience integrating AI tooling into research or patching workflows
* Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud-native ecosystems
Benefits
What's in it for you?
* A strong focus on professional development with opportunities for learning and growth:
* Interesting and challenging projects,
* Mentor and other knowledge-exchange programs;
