The Vice President of Platform Engineering reports to the CTO and leads the strategy, organization, and execution for 1Password’s core service and development platforms. The VP is accountable for building secure, reliable, and scalable foundations that enable teams across 1Password to deliver, operate, and own with autonomy, speed, and unambiguous accountability. The VP owns operations, drives delivery, and develops a high-performing team to achieve impactful results.

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.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.
