We are excited to welcome a Senior Engineer to join our new Vulnerability Management team at 1Password. Vulnerability Management helps enable 1Password to build and deliver secure products with confidence. We own the end-to-end vulnerability lifecycle including our centralized platform, from identification to remediation and reporting. This includes our bug bounty program, pentesting, supply chain management, and more.

As part of the Vulnerability Management team, this Senior Engineer will focus on rapidly maturing and scaling our vulnerability management program with new agentic AI tooling and workflows, while implementing new vulnerability identification and remediation strategies across our products, platforms, and infrastructure - ensuring that 1Password maintains the highest standards of trust and safety for our users.

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.
