At 1Password, we’re building the foundation for a safe, productive digital future. Our mission is to unleash employee productivity without compromising security by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign-in is secure, and every device is trusted. We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work.

We are excited to welcome a Staff Developer to join the Identity Platform team at 1Password.
In this critical role, you will help shape the architecture, evolution, and reliability of the core identity systems that power 1Password. This platform underpins authentication, authorization, session management, device trust, policy enforcement, and integrations with external identity providers. It is foundational to both our consumer and enterprise offerings and central to our Extended Access Management strategy.
Your leadership will directly influence our technical direction, ensuring alignment with company strategy while advancing modern identity capabilities and engineering excellence. This role is focused on building and executing a roadmap that elevates quality, scalability, and security across the identity domain.
This is not just a technical role. It requires collaboration, creativity, and a strong sense of ownership. You will partner closely with teams across the company to deliver identity systems that are secure, resilient, and built for the way people and AI agents work 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.

Our approach to remote work

Yes. 1Password has been remote-first since it was founded in 2005, with a workforce distributed across five countries. Most of the team works remotely and comes together at key moments — annual department offsites, team meetings, and industry events — for intentional in-person collaboration. A subset of go-to-market roles are hired as in-person hybrid in Toronto or Austin and are flagged as such on the job posting.
1Password's team is distributed across five countries, with publicly listed hiring in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Germany. Remote work here means working from your home country, so eligibility is tied to where you're based rather than open worldwide — check the individual job posting for the countries it's open to.
Compensation is geo-based, and 1Password publishes the salary band in every job posting in local currency (for example USD, CAD, GBP, or EUR). Most employees also receive an RSU equity grant that vests over four years with a one-year cliff, plus retirement matching (401(k) in the US, RRSP in Canada) with immediate enrollment.

1Password's hiring methodology is grounded in its Behaviors for Success. Every stage — from role design and sourcing through interviews, selection, and onboarding — is designed to show you what success in the role looks like and how you'll drive impact. Leadership is candid that the pace is fast and standards are high, so expect a process that digs into how you work, not just what you've done.
1Password suits people who value candor, thrive at a fast pace with high standards, and treat AI fluency as a core skill rather than an afterthought. The culture is anchored by three values — keep it simple, lead with honesty, and put people first — and invests in belonging through eight employee-led communities and the 1Password for Good grant program. Leadership says plainly that it's "not for everyone," which helps candidates self-select honestly.
