We're hiring a Senior Manager, Infrastructure Security to lead the team responsible for securing 1Password's cloud-native platform. Reporting into Platform Security, you'll set the direction for Infrastructure Security, establish priorities, and drive execution aligned with our broader security strategy.
We're looking for a hands-on engineering leader who combines deep technical expertise with strong judgment and people leadership. You'll help your team tackle complex security challenges, prioritize work that meaningfully reduces risk, and build strong partnerships with engineering teams to make security an integral part of how our platform evolves.
Your team is responsible for security across cloud infrastructure, identity and access management, privileged access, networks, containers, and emerging AI and automated systems. You'll lead and develop a team of security engineers while partnering closely with Platform Security, Threat Operations, and infrastructure engineering leaders to strengthen our security posture.
As AI and agentic technologies become increasingly integrated into production environments, you'll also help define how we secure these systems, including their identities, access to infrastructure and data, and the controls that limit potential risk.
In this role, you'll help ensure 1Password's infrastructure remains secure, resilient, and scalable while enabling engineering teams to move quickly and confidently.
How we're using AI todayOur 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:We're looking for someone who brings strong technical depth, direct people leadership experience, and the ability to turn a security strategy into shipped work.
- 8+ years of experience in security engineering, including at least 3 years directly managing a team, with demonstrated accountability for team delivery, individual performance, engagement, and professional growth.
- Deep production experience securing a major cloud platform, including identity and trust boundaries, workload isolation, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code.
- Experience building or improving privileged access programs, including how people and workloads access the systems and resources they need.
- Experience implementing network segmentation, WAF, and zero-trust approaches at scale.
- Hands-on experience securing AI and agentic systems in production, including workload identities, access to infrastructure and data, and security boundaries designed to limit the impact of a compromised agent.
- Demonstrated ability to review technical work, identify gaps, and raise the quality of engineering outcomes through effective technical oversight and coaching.
- Ability to navigate ambiguous, complex problems, establish priorities within an area of ownership, and define technical direction without relying on prescribed solutions.
- Proven ability to influence engineering teams through technical credibility, a track record of delivering results, and the development of high-performing engineers.
- Experience using AI to improve individual and team effectiveness, modeling responsible adoption, and ensuring AI-assisted work is reviewed for accuracy, sound judgment, and impact.
What you can expect:- Set the strategic direction and priorities for Infrastructure Security, and own delivery end to end, aligned with the Platform Security strategy
- Define clear goals and metrics so progress is measurable and trade-offs can be argued with evidence
- Lead delivery across concurrent workstreams in cloud security, identity and access management, and container security
- Build, coach, and grow a team of security engineers: set clear expectations for what good looks like, and address both strong performance and off-track performance early rather than waiting for issues to surface
- Work closely with platform and infrastructure engineering teams so security is designed into systems from the start
- Help define how we secure AI and automated systems, including the identities they run as, how their access is scoped, and where the boundaries around them sit
- Partner with the other Platform Security teams and with Threat Operations so findings reach the right owner and get remediated inside an agreed SLA
- Make the calls Infrastructure Security needs, and bring in your peers and manager on decisions that reach beyond the team
- Make sure security keeps up with company growth without slowing teams down
