Full Job Description

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.

Platform Collaboration: Proven collaborations with the teams building the content platform to improve usability, searchability, and AI compatibility. Data driven choices: Experience using data to optimize documentation, evaluate content strategy, identify content gaps, drive traffic, and generate engagement. Cross functional collaboration: Experience collaborating with technical product marketing, social teams, customer support, SMEs. Engineering blogs and technical communication. Bonus points for: Security Focus: Experience dealing with security-conscious developer communities or products (Identity, Auth, DevSecOps) is a strong plus. What you can expect: Build: Build evergreen, code-complete, hands-on examples that teach developers how to use our products in the most technically-relevant contexts. Educate: Help users learn by creating content that is low-cognitive-load, discoverable, navigable, and relevant to real developer problems. Align: Drive alignment about opinionated best practices for using our developer tooling and publish those best practices in places where the community can use them most effectively. Present: Create and deliver reusable, in person labs, conference presentations, and other low-cognitive-load content that will generate continued engagement and enable others. Curate: Help 1Password employees and community members create and publish educational content geared toward developers that address real world use cases and have practical applications.
