About 1Password
At 1Password, we're building the foundation for a safe, productive digital future. Our mission is to unleash employee productivity without compromising security by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign-in is secure, and every device is trusted. We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world's most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work.
If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.
As a Security Engineer on the Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) team, you'll help build and scale programs that support commercial audits, federal compliance, security risk management, vendor risk, policy management, and customer trust. You'll turn complex requirements into practical controls, reliable workflows, and measurable improvements while partnering across Security, Engineering, Legal, Privacy, and other teams. You'll be expected to identify opportunities where AI can improve GRC workflows and turn useful experiments into practical, reliable solutions. Your work will help 1Password protect the people, businesses, and digital experiences that depend on secure access every day.
How we're using AI today
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.
What we're looking for:
Bring three or more years of experience in security, compliance, risk, audit, GRC, program management, or a related technical discipline.
Manage moderately complex, cross-functional compliance or security initiatives with a high degree of organization, ownership, and follow-through.
Apply one or more security or compliance frameworks, such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST 800-53, CMMC, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, or similar standards.
Support FedRAMP or comparable federal compliance programs, ideally in a program management, project management, or cross-functional coordination capacity. Familiarity with authorization boundaries, assessment preparation, Plans of Action and Milestones (POA&Ms), continuous monitoring, Third-Party Assessment Organization (3PAO) coordination, or remediation is valuable.
Translate framework requirements into clear control activities, policies, procedures, test cases, evidence requirements, and operational workflows.
Work with GRC platforms such as Drata, Tines, Vanta, ServiceNow, Archer, LogicGate, Secureframe, or comparable tools, and use automation techniques such as APIs, scripts, webhooks, ticketing workflows, and cloud or identity integrations.
Actively use AI in day-to-day work and show a clear trajectory toward building with it, including experimenting with or configuring AI-assisted workflows for GRC, security, risk, or compliance tasks. Understand the need for validation, human judgment, reliable controls, and appropriate review before relying on AI-generated outputs.
What you can expect:
Manage GRC initiatives spanning commercial compliance, federal compliance, security risk, vendor risk, policy management, and customer trust.
Support planning, assessment preparation, remediation, and continuous monitoring activities for FedRAMP, CMMC, NIST 800-53, and related programs.
Partner with control owners, Security, Engineering, Legal, Privacy, auditors, assessors, and business stakeholders to gather evidence, track actions, and resolve gaps.
Define and improve how evidence is generated, validated, mapped to requirements, stored, and traced to its source.
Monitor control health, evidence freshness, configuration drift, exceptions, and remediation progress.
Build or configure automated and AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual effort and improve the reliability of compliance and risk processes.
Maintain project plans, action trackers, risk logs, documentation, and status updates while contributing to repeatable team practices and knowledge sharing.

How we work with AI
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. To us, this means we do ask that you join live interviews without using AI tools so we can get to know how you communicate, solve problems, and collaborate with others.
