Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior Linux OS Security 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 design, build, and maintain secure Linux-based operating system components that power hardened container images and cloud-native workloads. This role sits at the intersection of Linux systems engineering, package management, and software supply chain security. You will be responsible for identifying vulnerabilities in OS packages, validating fixes, rebuilding or patching components, and ensuring secure, production-grade container images are delivered at scale. You will work across multiple Linux distributions to curate, harden, and continuously improve the operating system layers used in containerized environments. It includes package-level remediation, dependency resolution, and automation of secure build pipelines. The role focuses on Linux internals, OS packaging, and container image security, not just vulnerability scanning or policy enforcement.
