About the Job

As a Staff Software Engineer on Keeper’s Rapid Innovation team, you will serve as a hands-on technical leader responsible for turning high-priority ideas into working software. Projects may begin with limited requirements and span backend services, web applications, desktop software, security products, developer tooling, AI-enabled capabilities or entirely new product concepts. You will independently shape technical approaches, make architecture decisions, build prototypes and determine what is required to validate an idea. When a concept proves successful, you will help transition it to an established or newly formed product engineering team and move on to the next initiative.

This role is designed for an engineer who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys learning unfamiliar systems quickly and is energized by building across multiple areas of software engineering rather than owning a single product or technology stack long term.

Responsibilities

• Rapidly design and build working software for new product concepts, technical experiments and strategic initiatives
• Take loosely defined ideas from concept through functional implementation with minimal product or technical specification
• Define architecture and technical direction for early-stage projects while making pragmatic tradeoffs around speed, security and scalability
• Work across backend, frontend, desktop, platform, integration and infrastructure technologies depending on project needs
• Develop backend services and APIs using Java and other appropriate technologies
• Build modern user experiences using JavaScript, TypeScript, React and related technologies
• Evaluate unfamiliar technologies, frameworks, APIs and codebases and become productive quickly
• Integrate AI models, APIs and emerging AI capabilities into software when appropriate, partnering with Keeper’s AI and Machine Learning teams for specialized expertise
• Identify technical risks, validate feasibility and determine whether concepts are ready to move toward productization
• Create enough technical structure, documentation and architecture guidance to support clean handoff to long-term engineering owners
• Mentor engineers and raise technical standards through design reviews, technical guidance and hands-on collaboration
• Collaborate directly with the CTO, Engineering lead
