About the Role

OpenLogic, a Perforce business unit, provides long-term support (LTS) for enterprise Linux distributions - including CentOS 6, 7, and 8 - to customers who depend on stable, security-patched software beyond end-of-life. As a Senior Software Engineer on the CentOS CVE Remediation team, you will own the full lifecycle of CVE fixes: triaging vulnerabilities, backporting upstream patches, rebuilding RPM packages, validating fixes, and delivering hardened packages to production. You will work across a broad range of system packages — kernel, OpenSSL, openldap, libxml2, Ruby, MySQL, and others — making deep C/C++ expertise essential.
