## About the role

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.

## What they're looking for

- Design, develop and maintain Linux endpoint privilege management capabilities across Rust, C and .NET components
- Build and enhance kernel-facing agent functionality using Linux interfaces such as fanotify, the proc filesystem, namespaces, capabilities and process identity
- Develop and maintain native PAM modules and Linux privilege-elevation workflows
- Build long-running privileged Linux services using Rust, Tokio, MQTT, TLS and asynchronous programming patterns
- Develop Linux-specific orchestration and session-management capabilities in .NET 8, including process authentication, access controls, ephemeral accounts and session monitoring
- Diagnose complex Linux execution and security issues involving blocked processes, authentication races, permissions, SELinux, AppArmor and system service behavior
