Full Job Description
1Password helps people use technology safely. As a Security Engineer on the Corporate Security team, you'll build and automate practical controls across identity, devices, internal tools, Software as a Service (SaaS), and the safe adoption of artificial intelligence (AI). Reporting to the Manager, Corporate Security, you'll help protect the company while enabling teams to work securely and move quickly.
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:
• Bring 3+ years of combined experience in information technology or security engineering, along with a track record of building and shipping your own solutions.
• Write strong, maintainable code in Python, Bash, Go, or a similar language, and use application programming interfaces (APIs), webhooks, configuration as code, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to build reliable tooling.
• Apply hands-on knowledge across areas such as identity and access-including single sign-on (SSO), Security Assertion Markup Language/OpenID Connect (SAML/OIDC), multifactor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC)-as well as endpoint and device security.
• Build with AI as well as use it: work comfortably in an integrated development environment (IDE), understand the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agentic tooling, and create automation or workflows that use AI thoughtfully.
• Use tools such as structured query language (SQL) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure to support scheduled services, reporting, and security automation.
• Balance security goals with business needs, explain technical risks and trade-offs clearly, and collaborate effectively with IT, Engineering, Product, and other security teams.
• Bring curiosity, ownership, and a growth mindset to a remote-first environment, with an interest in broadening your scope over time and giving actionable feedback when using security products internally.
What you can expect:
• Build and automate controls across identity and access, endpoint and device security, internal tools, SaaS, and AI and agentic usage.
• Take well-scoped security engineering problems from design through implementation and steady-state operation.
• Create integrations, visibility, detection, and reporting that make security work more reliable and reduce manual effort.
• Help evaluate and de-risk new AI tools and workflows, including how agents access systems and use tools, then translate those decisions into practical controls.
• Contribute to initiatives involving device trust, software authorization, security automation, and other safeguards that protect the company's systems and data.
• Partner with IT, Engineering, Product, vulnerability management, security operations, and other teams to integrate controls into broader initiatives.
• Participate in the Corporate Security on-call rotation and security incident response, supporting the operational health of the systems and controls the team owns. Additional compensation is provided for on-call, and you'll have opportunities to grow into larger areas of ownership over time.
