Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior Linux Distribution Engineer for a full-time remote position (40 hours per week) in the USA. Our client is a cloud-native cybersecurity company that helps organizations automatically and continuously minimize the attack surface of their cloud workloads.
You'll build, maintain, and secure Linux package ecosystems and hardened container images across modern cloud-native platforms.
This role sits at the intersection of Linux distributions, package management, and software supply chain security. You will own the lifecycle of identifying vulnerabilities, validating fixes, rebuilding or backporting packages across distribution branches, maintaining trusted package repositories, and ensuring secure software delivery at scale.
You will work across multiple Linux distribution ecosystems to build, maintain, secure, and deliver production-ready packages and container images tailored to customer environments. The role requires deep expertise in Linux packaging, dependency management, repository management, compatibility validation, and automated software delivery at scale. This role focuses on Linux internals, package systems, dependency management, build pipelines, repository management, and automation — not simply vulnerability scanning or policy compliance. You will collaborate closely with platform engineering, infrastructure, DevOps, release engineering, and security teams to improve how software is built, validated, secured, and distributed across containerized environments.
