Job Description

Senior Security Engineer designing and implementing GRC automation workflows at 1Password. Partnering with the Senior Manager of GRC to enhance security operations and compliance.

Responsibilities:

  • design and implement automation, dashboards, and integrations that power our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) operations.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • be in the room with auditors, owning the technical narrative for what you've built and why.
  • lead the implementation and integration of our GRC platform, ensuring it is fully operationalized across key systems and workflows.
  • build out automated workflows for control testing, evidence collection, and audit readiness.
  • manage project delivery across multiple GRC automation initiatives simultaneously — maintaining clear scope, milestones, and stakeholder visibility without sacrificing quality.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, solutions engineering, or GRC automation roles.
  • Proven experience working with GRC, compliance, or audit teams to build automation that supports evidence collection, control testing, or security monitoring.
  • Direct experience implementing and integrating GRC platforms (e.g., Drata, Vanta, Tines, JupiterOne) into production environments.
  • Strong scripting and integration skills using Python, JavaScript, APIs, webhooks, or workflow automation tools.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with security, compliance, legal, and infrastructure teams to translate policies into scalable technical systems.
  • Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST 800-53, and how they map to real-world infrastructure and operations.
  • Project management and delivery ownership — experience managing multi-workstream compliance or security projects end-to-end: scoping, milestones, stakeholder communication, and on-time delivery. You can run a project without a PM holding your hand.
  • Experience building AI-assisted workflows — you've worked with LLMs, agentic tools, or automation pipelines (beyond click-through tools) to solve a GRC or compliance problem and can walk through what you built, why, and how you validated the output.
  • Confident in auditor-facing settings — you have a commanding presence in technical walkthroughs and can represent your automation work clearly to external auditors, senior stakeholders, and executive audiences. You know the difference between what you built and what it proves.

Benefits:

  • immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others)
  • utilization of our generous paid time off
  • an equity grant
  • participation in our incentive programs
