Engineering Manager, Credential Governance
WFA Digital Insight
The Managed Credentials group at 1Password sits at the intersection of security compliance and product adoption, making the engineering manager role uniquely pivotal. Unlike a generic tech lead, you’ll own the end‑to‑end governance workflow that lets enterprises discover, control, and remediate credential usage across thousands of apps. The team is also tied to the Managed Service Provider offering, so your decisions will affect both product and service revenue streams. Success hinges on translating security requirements into scalable engineering solutions while keeping a remote team aligned and motivated. Candidates who can speak fluently about full‑stack architecture, bridge product strategy with GTM goals, and foster a healthy remote culture will feel most at home.
Job Description
1Password is growing. We’ve surpassed $400M in ARR and we’re continuing to accelerate, earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for four years in a row and teaming up with iconic partners like Oracle Red Bull Racing. 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. Managed Credentials solves one of the most important problems our enterprise customers face: governing the full lifecycle of company-controlled credentials. The team is building this natively into 1Password's Enterprise Password Manager, giving security and compliance teams the discovery, governance, and remediation capabilities they require, with full auditability and access control. We're looking for an Engineering Manager to guide this high-visibility product through launch and into maturity, delivering the governance capabilities that drive enterprise adoption and retention, while also supporting the team's ongoing work on our Managed Service Provider (MSP) offering. 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
- Several years of experience managing a team of engineers - Significant experience with fullstack web development. While you are not expected to write code, you do need to be able to “talk the talk” to help the team work through complex technical issues - The ability to create and maintain a positive, healthy team environment in which everyone is supported, encouraged, and meaningfully challenged to do great work.
- Capable of driving the delivery of projects, and creating roadmaps for future work.
- You have helped a team scale both themselves and the services they are responsible for.
- Experience managing a remote team.
- Drive alignment and be responsible for the results of the team in support of broader company objectives.
- Collaborate with senior individual contributors to create an engaging technical vision for your team - Work with cross-functional partners to define the best solutions for our customers, both internal and external.
- Work to scope and plan key deliverables for projects and initiatives with the team.
- Drive execution with an emphasis on iterations and deliverables, quality, velocity, and communication.
- Provide technical leadership to developers both in your team and across the engineering organization.
- Coach individual contributors to help them reach their full potential.
- Recruit and retain top tier talent in a fast growing environment.
- Continue scaling a highly specialized engineering team by working with a team of Engineering Managers to continuously refine hiring, onboarding, and development processes.
How to Stand Out
- Highlight any experience you have building compliance‑oriented features; concrete examples of auditability work stand out.
- Mention specific full‑stack technologies you’ve used (e.g., Node.js, React, PostgreSQL) to prove you can “talk the talk.”
- Prepare a brief narrative about how you’ve aligned engineering delivery with GTM goals in past roles.
- If you have used AI‑assisted coding tools, be ready to discuss the impact on code quality and velocity.
- During interviews, ask about the current roadmap and how success is measured for Managed Credentials.
- Emphasize remote‑team leadership skills: async communication, documentation habits, and cultural initiatives.
- When negotiating, consider the equity component and remote‑work allowances as part of the total compensation.
