We are looking for a talented Packaging Engineer to join our Alternatives & EasyApache Team on the CloudLinux OS Web Stack project. This role involves working with a range of products, including alternative versions of NodeJS, PHP, Python, and Ruby, as well as cPanel EasyApache and HardenedPHP packages.

The alternative packages enable the installation of multiple versions of the same software on a single system and are utilized across various CloudLinux OS and Imunify360 components. While EasyApache packages are originally part of the cPanel product, our team enhances them to ensure greater security and seamless compatibility with CloudLinux OS.

HardenedPHP focuses on backporting security patches to PHP versions that are no longer supported by the PHP community. More information can be found here: https://www.cloudlinux.com/security-features/#hardened-php
