Senior Developer (Windows), Product Security
WFA Digital Insight
The senior Windows security developer seat at 1Password sits at the heart of the company’s product security engine. Unlike generic dev roles, this position merges deep Windows platform expertise with modern cryptographic work, demanding fluency in Rust, C# and the intricacies of TPM, Secure Boot and Credential Guard. Candidates will not only write code but also shape secure‑coding standards across product teams, acting as a bridge between engineering and security leadership. The remote‑first setup lets you collaborate with a globally distributed squad while still having direct impact on the features that protect millions of users. Expect a fast‑paced environment where AI‑assisted tools are part of the daily workflow, and where clear communication of complex security concepts is essential.
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. Security and data privacy are at the core of everything we do at 1Password. The Product Security Team is responsible for implementing new security features across our macOS, iOS, Android, Windows, Linux and Web applications as well as building libraries to share common security-critical code, resolving security vulnerabilities across our applications, and promoting secure coding practices across the organization. As a Senior Developer on our Device Security squad, you will play a key role in implementing the next generation of security features in our applications, and help shape our security operations and best practices. You'll be intimately involved in ensuring secure coding practices across our code-base, guiding product teams on best practices, resolving security vulnerabilities in our products when they arise, and demonstrating leadership in the area of secure coding and development. 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.
