Full Job Description
We are seeking an Intermediate Developer on our Open Source Team, focused on strengthening 1Password's open source posture and making our developer tools easy to use directly inside developers' workflows through agentic IDE integrations: our Agent Hooks and IDE plugins. You'll participate in the complete lifecycle of a feature, contributing to planning, doing the development work, and seeing it through release and customer support, while consistently delivering projects within the team.

How we're using AI today

Our 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 we're looking for:
  • Professional software development experience, with the ability to take a reasonably scoped feature from plan to release with a high degree of independence.
  • Working knowledge of the technologies and tools needed to complete tasks independently.
  • Solid experience with a modern development toolchain (Git, IDEs, terminal, debugging and testing, dependency management) and the languages relevant to the team's work.
  • Good written communication and documentation habits, suited to working in public repositories.
  • Interest in developer tooling, IDE and agent integrations, and/or open source community work.
  • Interest in agent-assisted development and building tools to make agent-assisted development smoother and more secure.
  • A security-conscious mindset aligned with 1Password's principles.


Bonus points for:
  • Prior contributions to open source projects.
  • Familiarity with AI-enabled or agentic IDEs (e.g., Cursor) or building editor/IDE extensions.


What you can expect:
  • Acquire and maintain a solid understanding of your development toolchain and use it to contribute new features, improvements, and bug fixes across the team's codebases.
  • Participate in the complete lifecycle of a feature: contribute to planning, do the development, and help oversee its release and customer support.
  • Ensure code is high quality and maintainable by developing new testing strategies in addition to existing ones, writing unit and integration tests for new and existing code, documenting your work thoroughly, and reporting issues effectively.
  • Plan your solutions ahead of writing code, recognize and reuse existing patterns and best practices (development, security, quality), and submit well-documented merge requests.
  • Participate in and review documented proposals (RFCs/RFDs), promote best practices in code reviews, and provide thoughtful peer feedback.
  • Empower our customer support team to better support our products, address tough issues driving support inflows, and help determine high-priority customer feedback.
  • Be an active participant in team organization: refinement, prioritization, and group estimation.
  • Be curious and on the lookout for improvement opportunities you can suggest or tackle yourself, whether in repo cleanup, community engagement tooling, or IDE integration ergonomics.


USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $123,000 USD and $172,000 USD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.

Canada-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $111,000 CAD and $155,000 CAD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's generous benefits program (health, dental, RRSP and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.

At 1Password, we approach each individual's compensation with a promise of fair market value and internal equity commensurate with experience and specific skill set.
