About the role

This role builds and automates security controls across identity, devices, internal tools, SaaS and AI usage for 1Password's Corporate Security team, reporting to the Manager, Corporate Security.

What you'll do

• Build and automate controls across identity and access, endpoint and device security, internal tools, SaaS, and AI and agentic usage.
• Take well-scoped security engineering problems from design through implementation and steady-state operation.
• Create integrations, visibility, detection, and reporting that make security work more reliable and reduce manual effort.
• Help evaluate and de-risk new AI tools and workflows, including how agents access systems and use tools, and translate those decisions into practical controls.
• Contribute to initiatives involving device trust, software authorization, security automation, and other safeguards for company systems and data.
• Partner with IT, Engineering, Product, vulnerability management, security operations, and other teams to integrate controls into broader initiatives.
• Participate in the Corporate Security on-call rotation and security incident response, supporting the operational health of team-owned systems and controls.

What you'll need

• Use application programming interfaces (APIs), webhooks, configuration as code, and continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to build reliable tooling.
• Hands-on knowledge across identity and access, including single sign-on (SSO), SAML/OIDC, multifactor authentication (MFA), and role-based access control (RBAC), as well as endpoint and device security.
• Work comfortably in an integrated development environment (IDE), understand the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and agentic tooling, and create automation or workflows that use AI thoughtfully.
• Use tools such as structured query language (SQL) and Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure to support scheduled services, reporting, and security automation.
• Balance security goals with business needs, explain technical risks and trade-offs clearly, and collaborate effectively with IT, Engineering, Product, and other security teams.
