Job Description
Staff Security Engineer leading DevSecOps within Corporate Security team at 1Password. Responsible for securing developer environments and overseeing GitHub security.
Responsibilities:
- You'll have real ownership and latitude to shape how developer security works at 1Password.
- Setting the technical vision, driving the standards and controls that engineering teams rely on, and building a well-run program that scales with the organization.
- This role works in close partnership with Infrastructure Security.
- Own the DevSecOps function: You'll have the latitude and mandate to build a well-run, properly owned developer security program at 1Password.
- Lead the program to harden 1Password's GitHub Enterprise environment and CI/CD pipelines.
- Define AI-assisted development security: As 1Password's engineering teams adopt AI coding tools and agentic workflows, you'll own the security model for how that happens.
- Drive and work with partner teams on improvements to dependency hygiene, secret management practices, token governance, and secure package consumption across the engineering organization.
- Build secure templates, baseline configurations, and developer-friendly guardrails that engineering teams adopt.
Requirements:
- Minimum of 8 years of combined experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, platform security, or closely related engineering roles, with deep focus on securing developer environments, CI/CD, or software supply chains.
- Deep, hands-on expertise in GitHub Enterprise security and governance, including branch protections, secret scanning, access controls, repository standards, Actions security, and audit logging at scale.
- Proven ability to design and implement security controls that integrate into CI/CD pipelines without meaningfully degrading developer velocity.
- Solid understanding of software supply chain security within developer environments, including dependency hygiene (npm, pip, and similar), token and secret management, secure package consumption practices, and SBOM generation.
- Practical experience solving security challenges introduced by AI-assisted and agentic development.
- Comfortable making architectural decisions that span multiple teams.
- Strong scripting and automation skills in Python, Bash, Terraform, or similar.
- Ability to build alignment with Platform Engineering and other engineering stakeholders.
- A track record of elevating the people around you through mentorship, documentation, and deliberately creating growth opportunities for other engineers.
- Experience participating in on-call rotations and contributing to investigations involving developer tooling, source control, or credential exposure.
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
