We’re looking for an experienced security leader to lead and mature the Product Security function here at 1Password. You will be responsible for:

• Application Security, overseeing our SDLC program.

As the Sr. Director of Product Security, you will set the strategy, build and scale programs, and partner with engineering, product, and security leadership to reduce risk while enabling innovation. You’ll manage a team of highly skilled security professionals, serve as a trusted advisor to the CISO, and act as a thought leader both inside and outside the organization.

You will report directly to the CISO.

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.
