Engineering Manager, Language Security (TuxCare)

TuxCare is a subsidiary of CloudLinux. It 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.
