This is a 100% remote position, with an opportunity to work a hybrid schedule for candidates based in the Chicago, IL or El Dorado Hills, CA metro areas.\nKeeper’s cybersecurity software is trusted by millions of people and thousands of organizations globally. Join one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity companies and help build the systems that discover and secure privileged identities and infrastructure across complex enterprise environments.\nAbout Keeper\nKeeper Security is one of the fastest-growing cybersecurity software companies that protects thousands of organizations and millions of people in over 150 countries. Keeper is a pioneer of zero-knowledge and zero-trust security built for any IT environment. Its core offering, KeeperPAM®, is an AI-enabled, cloud-native platform that protects all users, devices and infrastructure from cyber attacks. Recognized for its innovation in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Privileged Access Management (PAM), Keeper secures passwords and passkeys, infrastructure secrets, remote connections and endpoints with role-based enforcement policies, least privilege and just-in-time access. Learn why Keeper is trusted by leading organizations to defend against modern adversaries at KeeperSecurity.com.\nAbout the Job\nAs a Senior Software Engineer on Keeper's PAM Discovery team, you will be a primary developer for the backend discovery service that identifies privileged accounts, service accounts, keys and machines across Active Directory, cloud IAM, databases and endpoints so they can be brought under secure management and rotation. This is primarily a backend engineering role, most of your time will be spent building services, data pipelines and integrations in Python, with some Java/Kotlin work on our cloud services and occasional changes to our TypeScript/React administrative interface.\nWhat makes this problem interesting: Discovery runs on gateways deployed inside customer environments that Keeper cannot access directly, so the system has to be resilient, self-diagnosing and safe even when debugging access is limited and deployed versions vary. And Keeper's zero-knowledge architecture requires discovered data to be encrypted before it leaves the customer environment, which rules out most of the conventional answers for how that data can be processed, indexed and presented.\nResponsibilities\nDesign and develop the Python discovery engine that runs on customer-deployed gateways, and the Java/Kotlin cloud services that store and serve discovered data\nBuild systems that discover privileged accounts, service accounts, keys, machines and related identity data across Active Directory, cloud IAM, databases and endpoints\nSolve identity correlation and reconciliation challenges, including determining when accounts discovered across multiple systems represent the same principal\nBuild incremental re-scan and state-reconciliation capabilities that maintain an accurate view of customer environments without accumulating duplicate or stale data\nBuild the test coverage and diagnostic tooling that let us trust code we can't debug in the field: unit, integration and automated tests, plus logging and error reporting good enough to root-cause an issue from a customer's logs alone\nDesign discovery workflows that operate safely inside customer production networks, respecting API limits, limiting blast radius and remaining resilient to partial failures across large environments\nDevelop secure data-processing workflows that operate within Keeper’s zero-knowledge architecture and protect discovered data throughout collection, transmission and storage\nCollaborate with Product, QA and other PAM engineers on technical design, testing, troubleshooting and delivery of Discovery features\nUse AI-assisted tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or similar platforms to support development, debugging, research and documentation\nRequirements\n8+ years of professional software development experience, with a strong focus on backend systems\nStrong Python experience with Python is the primary language of Keeper's Discovery engine\nWorking proficiency in Java or Kotlin for backend services, plus enough comfort in TypeScript/React to make changes in our administrative interface when needed\nStrong experience with distributed systems, APIs and data-processing pipelines, including systems that must run reliably in environments you don't control\nHands-on experience with Active Directory and/or LDAP\nWorking knowledge of at least one major cloud IAM model, such as AWS IAM and Organizations, Microsoft Entra ID or GCP IAM\nStrong knowledge of secure software development practices, authentication, authorization and encryption\nBachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience\nStrong data modeling instincts, ideally including graph or relationship-oriented models\nDue to this role's involvement in GovCloud and FedRAMP environments, qualified candidates must be a U.S. Person, defined as a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperience developing Privileged Access Management, identity security or cybersecurity products\nExperience with identity discovery, account discovery, asset inventory or similar infrastructure discovery systems\nExperience with containerized or cloud-native applications\nExperience developing high-scale enterprise SaaS products\nBenefits\nMedical, Dental & Vision (inclusive of domestic partnerships)\nEmployer Paid Life Insurance & Employee/Spouse/Child Supplemental Life\nVoluntary Short/Long Term Disability Insurance\n401K (Roth/Traditional)\nA generous PTO plan that celebrates your commitment and seniority (including paid Bereavement/Jury Duty, etc.)\nAbove-market annual bonuses\nKeeper Security, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and participant in the U.S. Federal E-Verify program.
