About The Position

TuxCare offers a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions for Linux and open-source software designed for enterprise organizations. With TuxCare, companies can automate live vulnerability patching, minimize downtime, ensure security and compliance, and rely on a team with deep expertise in Linux security. The solutions cover the most popular Linux distributions, end-of-life systems, programming languages, and more. One of TuxCare’s key products is Endless Lifecycle Support (ELS), which enables organizations to securely continue using Linux distributions and software languages that have reached end of life or no longer receive standard security updates. ELS delivers vulnerability patches for unsupported versions of CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Oracle Linux, as well as for runtimes and frameworks such as PHP, Python, Spring, Angular/AngularJS, Django, and Flask. To drive the further development of ELS and other cross-cutting systems, we are seeking a hands-on Staff Engineer who can combine deep technical execution with product ownership. This role is ideal for someone who operates as a Senior Developer (70%) and a Technical Product Owner (30%). The engineer will work closely with stakeholders to understand their needs, translate them into proof-of-concepts, and evolve those into robust, production-grade solutions. The role requires strategic thinking, strong stakeholder engagement, and the ability to actively shape the product vision and roadmap.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Python is a must.
• Knowledge of any other programming languages is a plus.
• Requires a senior-level engineer proficient in designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable software systems.

• Involves shaping product direction — gathering and refining requirements, translating them into technical goals, and aligning them with broader engineering strategies.
• Experience in technical product management or direct ownership of product roadmaps is highly valued
• Encompasses ownership of the entire lifecycle of major components, from initial concept through prototyping, delivery, and ongoing evolution.
• A balance between short-term iteration and long-term scalability and extensibility is essential
• Demands active communication with engineering teams, product managers, and stakeholders across departments.
• Requires the ability to align different viewpoints, prioritize effectively, and turn feedback into actionable plans
• While the primary focus remains on building, it's important to step back, understand broader product and organizational goals, and make informed engineering trade-offs within that context
