The mission of the Corporate Security team is to protect the organization, its assets, and its people by ensuring a safe and secure work environment. We do this by designing scalable, proactive, and user-friendly security programs that empower teams to move quickly - without compromising trust. The person hired for this position will report to Chris Butler, Manager, Corporate Security.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

• This role will focus on securing and improving our identity ecosystem. The engineer will work primarily with our identity provider (such as Okta, Google Workspace, and Azure AD), as well as with IT Engineering’s Identity squad to strengthen authentication, access provisioning, and access control. They will also help dogfood and improve our identity-related products, including Trelica, 1Password, and Kolide.

• This engineer should be comfortable working in evolving problem spaces, proactively driving tasks and small projects to completion, and collaborating effectively with partner teams. The role requires hands-on technical expertise, opportunities to automate and improve identity processes, and the ability to grow skills through mentorship and collaboration with more senior engineers.

• Experience with scripting (e.g., Python, Bash) and infrastructure/configuration as code (e.g., Terraform, CI/CD) is necessary in this role.

• Equally important are communication and collaboration skills. This individual will work closely with Procurement, GRC, and partner teams across the business. We frequently drive changes that impact the entire company - and we do so not as gatekeepers, but as enablers. We strive to be thoughtful, responsive, and solutions-oriented partners to everyone at 1Password.

• Potential work on nights or weekends in the event a significant security issue is discovered.
  

What we’re looking for:

• 3–5 years of combined experience in IT or security, with a focus on corporate or enterprise identity management.

• Hands-on experience administering and securing identity providers such as Okta, Google Workspace, or Azure AD, including SSO, federation, MFA, and SCIM provisioning and access policies.

• Strong understanding of identity security fundamentals, including RBAC, access governance, lifecycle management, and how identity underpins secure SaaS adoption.

• Experience working in a remote-first environment where identity and device posture form the basis of access control. Hands-on experience configuring or supporting conditional access policies, leveraging device posture signals (via tools such as Kandji, Jamf, CrowdStrike, or SentinelOne), and working with ZTNA or modern VPN solutions (e.g., Tailscale, Twingate, Palo Alto Prisma Access, Zscaler).

• Experience using scripting or automation (e.g., Python, Bash, Terraform) to support identity operations, configuration as code (CaC), or workflow automation; familiarity with SOAR platforms (Tines, Torq, Splunk) is a plus.

• Experience being “customer zero” - dogfooding security or identity products internally, and providing feedback to improve both internal use and customer-facing value.

• Strong collaboration and communication skills, with the ability to work effectively within the Identity squad, across IT Engineering, and with partner teams such as Procurement and GRC.

• A growth mindset, ownership mentality, and a commitment to developing skills while contributing to the maturity of the Corporate Security team.
  

What you can expect:

• Work as part of the Identity Security squad, driving improvements to identity processes to ensure secure and efficient access for employees, contractors, and non-human users.

• Collaborate closely with IT Engineering’s Identity squad to support identity lifecycle management, access provisioning/deprovisioning automation, and alignment on identity roadmap priorities.

• Use and help improve 1Password’s identity-related products (1Password, Trelica, Kolide), acting as a customer zero by dogfooding features, identifying gaps, and providing actionable feedback to product and engineering teams.

• Assist in developing and maintaining configuration standards and governance for identity platforms, including detection and remediation of configuration drift.

• Leverage scripting, automation, and configuration as code to make identity management more scalable, repeatable, and auditable.

• Partner with other Corporate Security squads (SaaS and Endpoint Security) to address overlapping responsibilities and ensure identity controls are effectively integrated into broader security initiatives.

• Work cross-functionally with Procurement and GRC to align identity controls with vendor onboarding, compliance needs, and organizational risk posture.

• Support identity-related projects from planning through execution - coordinating with IT Engineering and application owners, ensuring deliverables meet security and business requirements.

• Participate in security audits, tabletop exercises, and identity-related incident response activities.

• Grow your skills through mentorship and collaboration, contributing to the overall maturity of the Corporate Security team while being supported in your own professional development.
