About the Job

This is not a purely advisory role. You will remain hands‑on with architecture, prototyping, code reviews and technical problem solving while partnering with Engineering, Product and Security leadership to ensure Keeper’s systems remain secure, performant and maintainable as the platform grows. The ideal candidate has broad full‑stack architecture experience, deep software engineering fundamentals and the ability to move comfortably across product domains, technologies and operating environments.

Responsibilities:

• Establish scalable architectural patterns and technical standards across frontend, backend, client and distributed systems
• Lead architecture reviews and major technical design decisions for complex cross‑product initiatives
• Partner with Engineering leadership and product teams to translate business and product requirements into scalable technical designs
• Evaluate trade‑offs across centralized and distributed architectures, monoliths and microservices, synchronous and asynchronous systems and cloud‑native deployment models
• Design systems with strong consideration for security, reliability, performance, extensibility and maintainability
• Guide architecture for APIs, services, authentication, authorization, data flows and integration patterns across product teams
• Provide technical leadership for high‑scale SaaS systems and security‑sensitive workflows
• Identify architectural risks, technical debt and scalability constraints and drive pragmatic remediation strategies
• Build prototypes or reference implementations to validate architectural approaches and de‑risk major initiatives
• Review critical code and design changes and provide technical guidance to senior and staff‑level engineers
• Partner with Security teams on secure architecture, threat modeling and protection of sensitive data and credentials
• Establish standards for observability, reliability, testing and operational readiness across distributed systems
• Mentor senior engineers and influence technical direction across multiple engineering teams
• Evaluate new technologies, frameworks and architectural approaches that can improve platform capabilities and developer productivity
• Use AI‑assisted development tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot or similar platforms to accelerate technical research, prototyping, coding, debugging and documentation

Requirements

• 10+ years of professional software engineering experience, including significant software architecture or technical leadership responsibilities

• Strong full‑stack technical background across frontend, backend, APIs and distributed systems
• Experience designing highly available, scalable and secure SaaS architectures
• Strong understanding of software design patterns, object-oriented and modular design principles and architectural trade‑offs
• Experience with distributed systems, microservices, event‑driven architecture and cloud‑native application design
• Strong understanding of authentication, authorization, identity, access control and secure application architecture
• Experience designing and integrating APIs, shared services and cross‑product platform capabilities
• Strong knowledge of relational and non‑relational database architecture, data modeling and performance considerations
• Experience with cloud infrastructure and modern deployment environments such as AWS, containers and Kubernetes
• Strong understanding of application performance, profiling, debugging and reliability engineering
• Experience evaluating architectural trade‑offs involving scalability, resiliency, maintainability and developer velocity
• Proven ability to work across multiple engineering teams and influence technical decisions without direct authority
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts to engineers, Product and leadership
• Demonstrated ability and willingness to use modern AI‑assisted development tools effectively for research, architecture, coding and technical analysis
