Job description

Senior/Staff Developer Advocate - PHP Ecosystem (remote-only opportunity)

Be among the first 25 applicants two weeks ago

TuxCare is hiring a Senior/Staff Developer Advocate for the PHP ecosystem to shape how SecureChain is integrated into the modern frontend supply chain.

You'll serve as the bridge between PHP developers, TuxCare's product, and the broader PHP ecosystem—educating internal teams on how packages flow through modern toolchains, guiding implementation of SBOM verification and artifact trust, and helping TuxCare become the trusted source for secure PHP artifacts.

Key Responsibilities

1. Educate TuxCare on the PHP Ecosystem

• Teach internal teams how the PHP ecosystem handles packaging, distribution, versioning, and dependency resolution
• Document real-world practices around SBOMs, CI/CD integration, and common threat models
• Analyze existing tooling (Composer, Packagist, SCA vendors) and identify ecosystem-specific attack surfaces and gaps

Guide SecureChain Implementation

• Work closely with engineering to define what SecureChain means for PHP developers: SBOMs, trusted artifact delivery, reproducibility, etc
• Design reference implementations and developer-facing docs that show how to use SecureChain in real Composer projects

Open Doors in the Ecosystem

• Use your network to establish relationships with OSS maintainers, vendors, and key platforms (e.g., Packagist, hosting providers)
• Explore strategic partnerships that position TuxCare as the official provider of LTS artifacts post-EOL
• Drive integrations with security tools and registries that can consume TuxCare's secure artifact stream

Drive Awareness through Developer Engagement

• Create technical content: blog posts, conference talks, documentation, YouTube videos—wherever PHP developers hang out
• Represent TuxCare at events and in online communities as a trusted voice on secure PHP delivery
• Help developers understand how to adopt SecureChain tools and workflows in their projects

Requirements

What You'll Bring

• Strong technical experience with PHP and its ecosystem: Composer, PHP-FIG standards, frameworks, CI/CD
• Proven experience advocating for or building secure developer workflows
• A track record of speaking, writing, or leading community education efforts
• Ability to move fluidly between developer conversations and product strategy
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with engineering, product, and marketing

Why TuxCare?

At TuxCare, our mission is to empower organizations by providing continuous support for PHP projects long after their official end-of-life. As a Senior/Staff Developer Advocate, you will have the unique opportunity to shape the conversation around legacy support, ensuring that critical systems remain robust and secure. If you are passionate about bridging the gap between legacy technology and modern operational demands, and you enjoy engaging with a dedicated developer community, we'd love to hear from you.

Benefits

What's in it for you?

• A focus on professional development with opportunities for learning and growth: interesting projects, mentorship, and knowledge exchange programs
• Fully remote work with flexible hours, allowing you to work from any location
• Paid 24 days of vacation, 10 days of national holidays, and unlimited sick leaves
• Private medical insurance coverage
• Co-working and gym/sports reimbursement
• The chance to receive a reward for innovative ideas that can be patented, fostering creativity and innovation
