We are building an Enterprise Tools team inside IT at 1Password — a team that owns the core collaboration tools and will grow to own the specialized business systems in the future. This team is charting new territory: centralizing ownership of company tools, building cross-functional integrations, and enabling the company to responsibly and strategically adopt new technologies.

The Staff IT Engineer will be the technical leader of this team, responsible for laying out the team’s technical roadmap and ensuring it is executed effectively. If you have a passion for building scalable systems, shaping the strategy for critical business tools, and bringing out the best work in others, we want to hear from you.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

• Establish governance and ecosystem design standards for enterprise integrations so that company-wide workflows are consistent, reliable, and able to scale.

• Guide the team’s ownership of vendor relationships end-to-end for core business tools, including tool selection, RFPs, renewals, license management, and staying current on vendor roadmaps to ensure the tools fit company needs.

• Partner with IT, Enterprise L&D, Security, Procurement, and business system owners to deliver an efficient centralized tool experience.
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• 7+ years of IT or enterprise systems experience, including 2+ years at a senior or staff IC level, with a track record of building and scaling enterprise systems.

• Deep expertise integrating, configuring and optimizing core enterprise platforms such as Slack, Notion, Google Workspace, Zoom, Asana, including utilization of Tines, Okta workflows, APIs, and other tooling.

• Proven ability to define and drive technical roadmaps, seeing around corners and balancing long-term vision with near-term execution.

• Experience leading the evaluation and enablement of AI features within enterprise platforms, ensuring secure and responsible adoption.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across complex, rapidly scaling organizations.

• Leadership and mentorship that helps grow and maintain a collaborative, focused, and impactful team.
  
  

Success in this role looks like:

• A clear technical roadmap for the next 12 months for the Enterprise Tools team, including ownership of core enterprise tools and laying the foundation for future ownership of specialized business systems.

• ​​Establish metrics as basis for goal setting and standards for uptime, reliability, and employee enablement.

• Standards established and documented for core service configurations and business systems integrations. (e.g., data retention policies, access rules, feature enablement, integration frameworks)

• An AI enablement strategy in place that balances innovation with security, privacy, and compliance.

• Vendor strategy aligned with company needs, informed by maintaining currency with vendor roadmaps and ensuring fit over time.
