Full Job Description
We9re hiring a Director of Infrastructure Security to lead how 1Password secures its cloud-native platform. This is a high-impact leadership role focused on building strong, scalable security across infrastructure, identity, and emerging AI systems.
We9re looking for a leader who can set the direction for infrastructure security and follow through on it. You9ll bring the technical depth to understand what strong security looks like, the judgment to prioritize the right work, and the influence to drive alignment and investment across the company.
In this role, you9ll own security across cloud infrastructure, identity and access (including privileged access), network and container environments, and AI-driven systems. You9ll lead and develop a team of engineers, partner closely with Security Operations and engineering leaders, and help raise the bar on how we design and build secure systems.
You9ll also play a key role in shaping how we secure AI and automated systems, including how they access resources, how policies are enforced, and how risk is managed as these technologies evolve.
Your work will help ensure our platform scales securely as the business grows, without slowing down product and engineering teams.

Network and platform security: Experience working on things like network segmentation, WAF, and zero-trust approaches at scale.
Awareness of new areas like AI security: You understand how security is changing with AI and automated systems, and you9re comfortable working in that space as it evolves.
Strong technical judgment: You can review your team9s work, spot gaps, and help raise the quality of what9s being built.
People leadership and collaboration: You9ve built strong teams, supported people9s growth
