Full Job Description
Online developer learning has changed. It has shifted toward just-in-time learning via generative AI, and away from owned web properties. The education engineer will build an online education strategy that leverages these changes to support awareness and adoption of 1Password's developer tools by creating AI and search-optimized content, tutorials, blogs, and other technical assets that demonstrate our features in context. They will educate users in the real world through in-person labs, conference presentations, and other engagements that generate high fidelity feedback and encourage continued online engagement.
The Senior Staff Education Engineer is an individual contributors who will report to the Director of Developer Relations. You will work alongside the existing customer success and PMM teams to shape 1Password's education strategy for a new era of developer learning. You will help 1Password create content that AI can surface, and that addresses real human concerns and technical education needs.
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.

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.
