Trust is earned — and we’re building the systems to earn it at scale. 1Password is looking for a Senior Security Engineer – GRC Automation to design and implement automation, dashboards, and integrations that power our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) operations.

You’ll partner directly with the Senior Manager of GRC to build automation that scales our security and privacy commitments — from audit readiness and policy enforcement to customer trust workflows. A key focus for this role will be operationalizing and expanding our GRC platform (Drata), building AI-assisted workflows that automate evidence collection, control monitoring, and vendor risk — and owning the delivery of those projects from scoping through go-live.

This is a hands-on technical role for someone who’s passionate about making GRC repeatable, visible, and built into how the company works. It sits at the intersection of security engineering, compliance, and platform operations — ideal for someone with a solutions engineering, DevSecOps, or GRC practitioner background who thrives in high-context, high-impact environments. You won't just build things — you'll also be in the room with auditors, owning the technical narrative for what you've built and why.

This is a remote opportunity within the US or Canada.

• Hands-on experience with event-driven automation platforms like Tines and their use in control validation and alerting.

• Expertise in building evidence pipelines, tagging telemetry, or creating GRC dashboards in tools like Looker or Metabase.

• Strong understanding of cloud-native security architecture and its relationship to compliance controls (e.g., AWS IAM, encryption, logging).

• Experience working in customer trust, privacy engineering, or supporting sales/GTM teams with compliance assurance content.

• Familiarity with EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, or emerging AI governance frameworks — increasingly relevant as 1Password governs access for AI agents alongside human users.

• CISA, CISSP, or equivalent certification, or actively working toward one.
  

At 1Password, we prioritize collaboration, clear and transparent communication, receptiveness to feedback, and alignment with our core values: keep it simple, lead with honesty, and put people first.

We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology—including AI—to achieve our mission. We also understand that thinking critically about AI in its current forms will help us create better solutions for our customers and ourselves with its future forms, which will help us continue to close the gap between security and privacy and achieve our mission. We want team members at all levels to take the approach of actively learning AI best practices, identifying opportunities to apply AI in meaningful ways, and driving innovative solutions in their daily work. Embracing the future of AI isn't just encouraged—it's an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password.

This approach extends to our hiring process—candidates are welcome to use AI tools responsibly and thoughtfully during the application process.

We believe in the power of remote work, but recognize that in-person connection is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, travel for in-person engagement is a part of almost all roles, and we require our employees to be ready and willing to take part. Frequency will depend on role and responsibilities, and may include, but is not limited to: annual department-wide offsites, team meetings, and customer/industry events.
