Codekeeper, a software escrow company with a central office in The Hague, is advertising remote full-time roles on its career page, including a Client Success Specialist (LegalTech) and a Sales Representative. Both are listed as mid level. Both say applications stay open for about two months and that the company will hire as soon as it finds the right person. So early applications are likely to get more attention than late ones.
This post covers what the two roles involve, who fits, and how to write the unusual application the company asks for. The facts come from Codekeeper's own listings. The pages don't state salary, pay currency, or whether people in Nigeria and other African countries are eligible, so you'll need to confirm those yourself.
What Codekeeper does
The listings describe Codekeeper as a company founded by tech industry professionals to change software escrow for the cloud era. Software escrow, in plain terms, means a neutral arrangement that keeps a copy of software's source code so a business that depends on a vendor has protection if something goes wrong. The company describes its offer as solutions that reduce third-party risk in business operations.
It calls itself remote-first. The central office is in The Hague. Application text can be in Dutch or English, so English is enough.
Role 1: Client Success Specialist (LegalTech)
The listing says this is remote, full time, customer success, mid level. The work mixes customer service, technical support and legal drafting. According to the page, you would:
- Answer requests from users and leads about the services and how to manage a Codekeeper account. The company says it runs a full service model, so requests must be handled quickly and correctly.
- Support tech setup. Customers connect their source code management platform, and you help them do it and make sure everything is set up correctly on Codekeeper's side.
- Support sales by answering questions from leads through email and website chat.
- Draft reports. Some customers need information they provide to be inspected, and you write the report and send it back.
- Draft and review legal language for written agreements that fit customer requirements. Your manager checks the documents before they go to the client.
What they ask for
- Familiarity with LegalTech concepts. The page says extensive legal or technical experience is not expected.
- Prior customer success or similar experience is preferred.
- Proficiency in drafting legal documents.
- Exposure to working with companies of different sizes and industries.
- Analytical thinking, a proactive attitude, excellent written English, comfort with Google Docs and similar tools, strong organisation and attention to detail, and comfort multitasking in a fast-paced setting.
This role suits a law graduate or paralegal who enjoys writing and customer contact more than court work. It also suits someone from a support role who has handled contracts or compliance paperwork. The Nigerian Law School and call to bar aren't mentioned as requirements, but the listing doesn't say what qualification they expect either. Don't assume.
Role 2: Sales Representative
This is remote, full time, growth, mid level. The focus is inbound sales for the company's SaaS Source Code Escrow platform. Duties listed include:
- Advising customers on solutions and building relationships.
- Preparing email sequences and replying to customer emails professionally.
- Following up inbound leads by email or phone.
- A/B testing approaches to improve conversion.
- Running online platform demos.
- Creating and negotiating offers to close deals.
- Upselling to active customers.
What they ask for
- 1 to 2 years in a sales role with a track record of meeting and exceeding targets.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Problem-solving and the ability to find customer pain points.
- Comfort with different technology tools, time management, and a team-friendly attitude under pressure.
- Enjoying online demos, and experience with diverse companies and industries.
Spoken English matters more here because of demos and phone follow-up. Reliable internet and a backup for power cuts are practical needs. If you can't be sure of a stable connection during a demo, read our guide on working US or UK hours from Nigeria. The company is European, so time zone overlap is worth asking about.
Which role fits you
| Your background | Better fit |
|---|---|
| Law degree, contract review, strong writing | Client Success Specialist |
| Customer support with some technical comfort | Client Success Specialist |
| 1-2 years in SaaS or B2B sales with targets you can show | Sales Representative |
| Confident presenter on video calls | Sales Representative |
Don't apply to both with the same text. Pick the one where your evidence is stronger.
How to write the application
Codekeeper doesn't ask for a standard cover letter. The Client Success page says to send an application that speaks directly to how you would like to fill the position, with no right answers. It asks you to address some of the company's work and introduce yourself as a colleague. The Sales page asks you to show how you see yourself in the role in your future. Many applicants will send generic text, so a specific one stands out.
- Read the company website first. Visit codekeeper.co and understand escrow in your own words.
- Open with the role, not your life story. One line on why this job and this company.
- Show two or three pieces of proof. For client success: a time you fixed a customer problem, or a contract you drafted or reviewed (without sharing confidential details). For sales: your target and what you hit, such as 8 deals against a quota of 6 (use only real numbers).
- Address their work. Say something sensible about why a business would want software escrow, or how you'd explain it to a nervous buyer.
- Write like a colleague. Short, warm, direct. Proofread twice, since written English is a stated requirement for the client success role.
- Keep it under one page. Attach your CV if the form allows it. Our guide on negotiating your first salary will help later if you get an offer.
A hypothetical example
Imagine a law graduate with two years in a fintech support team. Her opening might read: "I handle customers who are worried about money and paperwork, and I think the same skill applies when a company is worried about depending on a software vendor." Then she gives one example of a clear contract summary she wrote, and one of a technical onboarding she supported. That is more convincing than listing adjectives.
Common mistakes
- Sending a generic cover letter that could go to any company.
- Claiming legal drafting skill without a sample or example.
- Skipping the question of eligibility. The pages don't say which countries they hire in, so ask early or check the application form.
- Assuming pay. No salary is given on either page.
- Applying through third parties who ask for money.
Stay safe
Apply only through Codekeeper's own career page, hosted at codekeeper.applytojob.com, or check that any link you are sent leads there. A genuine employer doesn't charge you for an application, training, equipment or "processing". If anyone claiming to represent them asks for payment, stop.

Frequently asked questions
Can Nigerians apply?
The listings say "Remote" but don't state eligible countries or employment terms. Check the application form, and ask in your application if it's unclear.
What is the deadline?
No date is given. Both pages say applications are open for the next two months, and hiring happens when the right person appears. Apply soon.
Do I need to speak Dutch?
No. Both listings say you can respond in Dutch or English.
Are there other roles?
The career page says several roles are open. A tip-off mentioned eight positions, but I only reviewed these two listings, so check the main careers page for the rest.
