Bitwarden promotes better internet security and safety with the leading open source password management solution for individuals, teams, and business organizations. Our philosophy on security is that “we are all in this together” – we continue to offer a full-featured free version of Bitwarden so that everyone can be protected with strong password management. We also provide enterprise-grade solutions to some of the largest companies in the world, and will continue to innovate in the identity and authentication market as the world starts to grow beyond passwords. Read more on the Bitwarden blog.
As a Senior Rust Engineer on the Passkeys team, you will build the technology taking the world beyond passwords. Bitwarden is a credential provider across browser, desktop, and mobile, and the Passkeys team owns our implementation of WebAuthn and FIDO2 — creating and asserting credentials, integrating with each platform's credential provider APIs, and the emerging standards for moving credentials between providers so that users are never locked in.
This is a low-level, cross-platform engineering role. The work is written primarily in Rust, in the shared SDK consumed by every Bitwarden client, where you will implement specifications requiring a robust attention to detail - a subtle misreading of the requirements produces edge-case user login errors in certain use cases. The WebAuthn and passkey space is constantly evolving as well, so you will be responsible for understanding how the specification is changing, how our credentials are being used on client sites, and how to adapt to these changes in our core SDK.
This is an opportunity to play a foundational role in shaping our India Engineering COE from the ground up. Our user community loves us and we love them. Come to work each day with a sense of purpose as we bring a more secure internet experience to everyone from our friends and family to the world’s largest organizations.
Become an expert. You’ll get immersed in the prominent technology markets of security and open source software. You'll work alongside talented global teams, solve meaningful engineering challenges, influence how we scale our engineering organization & contribute to products used by customers around the world.
If you're passionate about building exceptional teams, enabling engineering excellence, and making a lasting impact within a fast-growing engineering company, we'd love to hear from you.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where everyone can do their best work. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and make employment decisions based on skills, experience, qualifications, and business needs.

Yes. Bitwarden is a fully distributed, all-remote company. Team members work from home across many US states and more than 14 countries, with no in-office requirement.
Roles are region-scoped rather than open worldwide. Bitwarden posts positions for the US, the United Kingdom, and the broader EMEA region. US roles have no time-zone preference but do not include visa sponsorship, so you need to already be authorized to work in the role's region.
Benefits include a company-provided computer plus up to $500 in home office reimbursement, 401(k) contributions, 20 days of flexible time off with 11 flexible holidays (an extra week of vacation kicks in after four years), and $500 a year for skill development. In the US, medical, dental, and vision premiums are covered; internationally, benefits are calculated into pay.
For US roles, yes. Bitwarden discloses a base salary range on individual job postings, noting actual pay varies by level, experience, and location. Compensation outside the US is not published on postings because it differs by market.
People who value working in the open. Because the codebase is open source and development is community-driven, Bitwarden suits engineers and other roles comfortable with public scrutiny, security-first thinking, and self-directed work on a distributed team that spans time zones.
