About this role

1Password is growing. We’ve surpassed $400M in ARR and we’re continuing to accelerate, earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for four years in a row and teaming up with iconic partners like Oracle Red Bull Racing.

About 1Password

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.

If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

We are seeking a Staff Developer on our SDLC Foundations team, focused on building and evolving the tooling and services that power the Software Development Lifecycle for every engineering team at 1Password. This team owns the centralized feature flag platform (internally built services that integrate with an external system), telemetry, and developer experience tooling, alongside an emerging experimentation platform. You'll serve as the technical DRI for foundational platform work, owning architectural decisions that raise the bar for how engineers across 1Password build, ship, and operate software safely and confidently. You'll play an active role in shaping and owning the team's technical roadmap, ensuring our platform investments are well-sequenced, strategically grounded, and positioned for long-term impact. Just as importantly, you'll be a force multiplier for the team around you, mentoring developers, helping them grow in their craft, and fostering an environment where robust, scalable solutions are the standard.

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:

- 8+ years of professional software development experience in a production SaaS environment.

- Hands-on experience building and evolving platform-level services: feature flagging systems, telemetry, developer tooling, or experimentation infrastructure.

- Proven ability to design scalable backend services and APIs that span multiple product surfaces and teams.

- Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives that require alignment across frontend, backend, platform, and product stakeholders.

- Proficiency in Go.

- Demonstrated ability to influence engineering direction beyond your immediate team, and to move ambiguous, high-impact problems forward with autonomy.

- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build shared understanding across engineering, product, and infrastructure stakeholders around complex technical decisions.

Bonus points for:

- Experience building or migrating to centralized feature flag or A/B testing systems at scale.

- Familiarity with schema type systems and cross-service type safety approaches.

- Experience working on developer experience tooling (build tooling, local development environments, CI/CD, changelog automation).

- Familiarity with Nix or monorepo tooling.

- Experience with GitHub tooling and automations that facilitate and streamline the Software Development Lifecycle.

- Experience designing or operating telemetry systems, including instrumentation, data pipelines, or observability platforms.

What you can expect:

- Play a foundational role in shaping how 1Password engineers build and ship features reliably and safely at scale.

- Establish technical guardrails and best practices that ensure platform velocity does not come at the cost of reliability, security, or operational maturity.

- Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar for platform thinking across the organization.

- Influence roadmap decisions by grounding strategy in technical constraints and infrastructure opportunity.

- Stay hands-on in implementation work where architectural depth is required.
