Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future. As a Staff Security Engineer on Security Incident Response, you'll serve as a senior technical leader and builder for the team, helping shape both how we respond to incidents today and how our response capabilities evolve over time. This role is about advancing what the team is capable of, not just responding when something breaks. You'll design and build the AI-assisted systems that extend the team's reach, lead the response to the most complex incidents, and own programs that make the organization more prepared over time, from tabletop exercises and gamedays to the continued advancement of threat hunting and insider risk capabilities.

You bring engineering depth, sound incident judgment, and the ability to plan, and deliver complex work against a longer-term maturity roadmap not just execute against a queue. This is a senior individual contributor role with organization-wide impact on how 1Password investigates, contains, and learns from security incidents. This role reports to the Manager, Security Incident Response. 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: - Significant experience leading complex, high-severity security incidents across multiple environments, including serving as an incident commander or equivalent technical lead. - Experience designing and building AI-assisted or agentic automation for security operations (triage, investigation, containment), with sound judgment about where automation should and shouldn't hold decision authority. - Strong software engineering skills, and experience building production tooling, automation, or systems rather than only operating existing security platforms. - Experience owning a security program or capability roadmap end to end, including planning, sequencing, and delivering multi-quarter work. - Strong understanding of cloud-native, SaaS, and identity-driven attack techniques and response approaches.
