As part of the Production Security organization, you will also be responsible for co-leading technical strategy for a Secure by Default, Low-Friction Production Platform with other engineers and engineering leaders.

1Password product and application security is discussed in much detail in the 1Password white paper; our unique security and cryptographic architecture creates novel and exciting opportunities to explore scalable vulnerability identification and remediation in this space.

• Design, build, and maintain toolings, software, and systems for securing our application platform.
• Own the delivery and success of application security projects that span engineering teams and departments.
• Partner with security and product engineers and leaders to create technical strategy and long-term vision for securing applications.
• Work with cross-functional partners to define the best security solutions for our applications, reducing unnecessary friction, while maintaining a high degree of software development velocity.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers, both within the team and across the security and engineering organizations.

What we're looking for:

• Minimum of 5 years experience as a software or application security engineer
• Minimum of 1 year experience operating as a technical leader
• Demonstrated success at designing, implementing, deploying, securing critical production systems with broad company impact, in at least one of the following application security spaces: data security, cryptography, identity and access management, dependency management, application-layer security libraries, etc.
• Demonstrated effectiveness in cross-functional communication and building strong technical partnerships with internal stakeholders.
• Ability to translate technical and compliance requirements into engineering execution.
• Ability to prioritize projects and tasks, drive project execution to delivery, work through others as needed, and create roadmaps for future work.
• A strong desire to perform and grow as a security engineer and educate other engineers.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with static application security tools, such as dependency scanners, container scanners and/or static code analysis tools.
• Experience in building or deploying novel formal methods and/or formal verification tooling.
