Ambitious engineers wanted to solve privacy for consumers.

KeepSafe is a place for your personal things. 12 million people trust KeepSafe the mobile app to give them control over who sees what. We're making it so you can pass your phone with photos around the Thanksgiving table and not have to worry about grandma swiping accidentally to your last raging houseparty.

Be the fourth team member and help us think through challenging privacy issues like how to let individuals privately sharing documents, photos, messages and retain distribution control over the data we might share to our friends on Facebook or Twitter?

We want everyone on our team to constantly be learning new things, building great technology, and helping build KeepSafe to be a great company.

Particular areas we need expertise in: Security Backend iOS & Android Web Data Science

Here’s why you should join us:

(1) Impact* - At KeepSafe everything you do counts. When you join, you will get to see and impact every aspect of the business.

(2) Challenge - KeepSafe shows how a small team can leverage software to serve millions of happy customers. We’re building on this one specific product to grow a universal solution for the fundamental privacy problem.

(4) Earlybird - We boast millions of customers but our team is small. Now is a rare opportunity to join a startup with significant traction and still be early enough to come along for the full ride.

(5) Longboards & Beer - Before thinking about starting a company together, Philipp and Zouhair were already close friends over their mutual interest in beer. We make sure that our fridge is always stocked. When a friend left his board in our office, we discovered that starting skating at age 30 is not so hard and we fell in love with longboarding. When you join, a board will be waiting for you. Jamann!

That's interesting! It shows up for me for that search (that's why we included it). Are you also using the US app store?

The particular picture problem? I used to work as a PM and constantly took pictures of whiteboards and would show them to co-workers later. When I would swipe through these, there would always be pictures from my private life. I needed more control over this...

At the very beginning we got feedback from the comments on the Android Market but we were always very open with our support email address (it's in our store description), so we could talk with our users directly.

Right now, users register with their email the first time they open the app.

It took us about 10 months to get there. I don't have a graph handy but it was pretty linear from month 4 onwards. Before that, we had an accelerating curve because we started at 0 and slowly improved our ratings as more users started liking us.
