Job Level
About the role
- Define the technical direction for AI-powered security capabilities in 1Password.
- Set the architecture, technical standards, and operating model for how AI is used in security-sensitive product experiences.
- Meet a high bar for privacy, auditability, reliability, and user trust.
- Work spans client, service, and policy layers.
- Own the reference architecture, set the engineering bar, and own the path from prototype to production for a capability area that will shape the company's trajectory for the next five years.
- Raise the operational bar for AI in production by defining service expectations, evaluation frameworks, rollout controls, rollback paths, abuse testing, and incident playbooks.
Requirements
- Built and operated production systems where trust, correctness, and failure handling matter.
- Deep experience with AI or ML systems in production, ideally including LLM-integrated systems with explicit guardrails, evaluation pipelines, auditable tool use, and clear limits on autonomous behavior.
- Strong instincts for privacy-preserving design, including client-side or edge inference, constrained telemetry, explainable system behavior, and predictable user-facing outcomes.
- Meaningful depth in security-sensitive domains such as identity, authentication, authorization, secrets management, enterprise controls, endpoint trust, or adversarial detection.
- Track record of setting technical direction across multiple teams, making durable architecture decisions, and driving delivery through complex dependencies.
- Clear communication with engineers, executives, and cross-functional partners.
