About the Job
As a Senior Linux Systems Engineer on Keeper’s PAM team, you will design and build security-sensitive components that control privileged execution and elevation on Linux endpoints. This is a systems engineering role focused on endpoint privilege management, process authorization, Linux security boundaries and long-running privileged services. You will work across a Rust-based Linux agent, native C PAM modules and .NET services running on Linux. The role requires strong knowledge of Linux internals and the ability to reason carefully about process identity, permissions, authentication, kernel-facing APIs and secure failure behavior. This is not a traditional application development role; the work operates close to the Linux operating system and directly influences how privileged processes are authorized and executed.
