Remote Windows Driver Developers often encounter challenges such as debugging complex kernel-mode issues and maintaining clear communication with dispersed teams. Since driver development requires close interaction with hardware and the Windows operating system, troubleshooting and testing can be more complex from a remote environment. Utilizing robust remote debugging tools, setting up comprehensive virtual testing environments, and maintaining regular communication channels with team members help mitigate these challenges. Collaborating closely with QA, hardware teams, and other developers is also essential for efficiently resolving issues and ensuring driver reliability.

What does a Remote Windows Driver Developer do?

A Remote Windows Driver Developer designs, develops, tests, and maintains device drivers for the Windows operating system, working from a remote location. These professionals are responsible for creating software that allows hardware devices to communicate with Windows, ensuring compatibility, performance, and stability. They typically use programming languages like C or C++, and may work with kernel-mode or user-mode drivers. Collaboration with hardware engineers and other developers is also common, and developers must stay updated with Windows Driver Model (WDM) and related technologies.

  • Collaborate with backend and cloud teams to integrate endpoint-level functionality with Keeper's PAM platform
  • Architect and maintain applications with complex system dependencies and security requirements
  • Participate in code reviews and technical design discussions with a strong focus on correctness and security
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex issues across Windows OS versions and enterprise configurations

Requirements:
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Strong software engineering experience with Python and C or C++
  • Solid understanding of Windows internals, including services, processes, registry, security models, and system APIs
  • Experience building software that runs on or integrates deeply with Windows operating systems
  • Experience designing, debugging, and maintaining system-level or OS-adjacent software
  • Familiarity with authentication, authorization, and privileged access concepts
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or equivalent practical experience
  • Must be a U.S. Person (due to Keeper's FedRAMP authorization)

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience working on Privileged Access Management (PAM), endpoint security, or identity-related products
  • Familiarity with PowerShell or Windows-native tooling
  • Experience with cross-platform development (Linux and/or macOS)
  • Knowledge of secure coding practices, threat modeling, and Zero Trust architectures
  • Prior experience building agents, daemons, or long-running background services

Benefits:
  • Medical, Dental & Vision (inclusive of domestic partnerships)
  • Employer Paid Life Insurance & Employee/Spouse/Child Supplemental life
  • Voluntary Short/Long Term Disability Insurance
  • 401K (Roth/Traditional)
  • A generous PTO plan that celebrates your commitment and seniority (including paid Bereavement/Jury Duty, etc)
