We9re looking for an Intermediate Software Developer to help deliver meaningful product improvements and customer-facing features. In this role, you9ll take ownership of small-to-medium sized projects, contribute to high-quality code, and work closely with teammates and partners to take work from planning through release and support.
The Authorization team builds the foundation that determines which people and systems can take which actions across 1Password. The team owns Unified Authorization, cross-product authorization APIs, and supporting services, while partnering closely with Identity Services, Authentication, and Trust Platforms. This is foundational work: you9ll help simplify authorization for developers, strengthen access controls for customers, and shape how 1Password governs access as its product ecosystem grows.
How we9re using AI todayOur Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers.
This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.
What we9re looking for:- Proficiency in Go and solid working knowledge of the tools and technologies needed to complete tasks independently.
- Experience building or working with authorization or identity systems, with a solid understanding of access control and permissions.
- Comfort navigating an existing codebase, reusing established patterns, and proposing improvements when needed.
- A quality mindset: you care about testing, maintainability, and clarity in both code and documentation.
- Strong communication: you share progress, raise blockers early, and help ensure stakeholders understand outcomes.
- Collaborative approach: you seek feedback, incorporate it well, and contribute constructively in team discussions.
Bonus points for:- Experience supporting production systems and participating in on-call or incident response rotations.
- Familiarity with improving developer workflows (tooling, CI/CD, testing, documentation) to increase team velocity and quality.
What you can expect:- Build and ship new features, product improvements, and bug fixes within your team9s codebase.
- Own delivery of small-to-medium scoped projects, working with minimal oversight and following through to completion.
- Participate in the full development lifecycle: planning, implementation, testing, release, and post-launch support.
- Write maintainable, well-tested code, and contribute to evolving testing strategies and practices.
- Document your work clearly and share context so others can understand, review, and support what you build.
- Provide thoughtful code reviews that improve quality, support team delivery, and reinforce best practices.
- Collaborate with customer support and other partners to help investigate issues and prioritize customer feedback.
Nice to have: - Experience supporting production systems and participating in on-call or incident response rotations.
- Familiarity with improving developer workflows (tooling, CI/CD, testing, documentation) to increase team velocity and quality.

How we work with AIWe are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology-including AI-to achieve our mission. We also understand that thinking critically about AI in its current forms will help us create better solutions for our customers and ourselves with its future forms, which will help us continue to close the gap between security and privacy and achieve our mission. We want team members at all levels to take the approach of actively learning AI best practices, identifying opportunities to apply AI in meaningful ways, and driving innovative solutions in their daily work. Embracing the future of AI isn9t just encouraged-it9s an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password.
This approach extends to our hiring process-candidates are welcome to use AI tools responsibly and thoughtfully during the application process. To us, this means we do ask that you join live interviews without using AI tools so we can get to know how you communicate, solve problems, and collaborate with others.
Our approach to remote work We believe in the power of remote work, but recognize that in-person connection is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, travel for in-person engagement is a part of almost all roles, and we require our employees to be ready and willing to take part. Frequency will depend on role and responsibilities, and may include, but is not limited to: annual department-wide offsites, team meetings, and customer/industry events.
