Staff Developer, SDLC Foundations

Role Description

We are seeking a Staff Developer on our SDLC Foundations team, focused on building and evolving the foundational platform capabilities that every engineering team at 1Password relies on. This team owns the Feature Rollout Service (our centralized feature flag platform), Typeshare, developer experience tooling, and the 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.

Qualifications

• Hands-on experience building and evolving platform-level services: feature flagging systems, schema management, 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.

Requirements

• 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, monorepo tooling, or code generation frameworks (e.g., Typeshare).

Benefits

• USA-based roles: Annual base salary between $192,000 USD and $278,000 USD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others), generous paid time off, an equity grant, and participation in incentive programs.

• Maternity and parental leave top-up programs.
• Competitive health benefits.
• Generous PTO policy.
• RSU program for most employees.
