Our vision is to create a safer, simpler digital future for everyone, and our culture values simplicity, honesty and a human-centric approach to solving problems. Come help us unlock peace of mind so everyone can stay safer online.

At 1Password, we are committed to enabling everyone—from individuals to small businesses and enterprises—to secure their digital lives effortlessly. We have multiple openings for Director of Engineering positions across different focus areas, including Growth and Integration and Admin & Developer Tools. Each role is critical to our mission of delivering world-class solutions that make it easier for people and organizations to protect their digital lives. If you're passionate about leading engineering teams and building scalable, innovative solutions, we want to hear from you.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

    • Experience leading large teams of managers and software engineers (30+) delivering cross-functional projects. You should have a track record of building high-performing engineering teams from the ground up and mentoring leaders across both technical and management tracks.
    • A passion for aligning engineering initiatives with business goals. You'll guide teams working on mission-critical projects, from core product development to enterprise integrations and growth strategies, with a focus on scaling impactful solutions.
    • Experience working with peers in engineering, product, design, and other departments to drive cross-functional alignment. You’ll help prioritize initiatives, resolve dependencies, and drive consensus across multiple teams and stakeholders.
    • A strong foundation as a hands-on software engineer, with experience in building resilient, reliable software. Your background should enable you to contribute to technical discussions and empower your teams to make tough decisions on their own. Familiarity with enterprise-grade solutions like APIs, SDKs, SSO, multi-tenancy, and developer tools is a plus.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will need to drive discussions with both technical and non-technical audiences and serve as a spokesperson for the team.
    • A data-driven leader who thrives on identifying opportunities, experimenting with new ideas, and scaling solutions that align with 1Password’s broader goals. Whether it's optimizing product adoption or building out new tools for enterprise customers, you bring a focus on continuous improvement.

What you can expect:

    • Support and set the strategic direction for teams delivering software that contributes to our mission. You'll collaborate with senior leaders to ensure your team’s objectives align with the company’s long-term goals.
    • Grow technical contributors and managers to reach their full potential. Recruit and retain top talent in a fast-growing environment, partnering with the Talent team to build high-performing engineering teams.
    • Whether you're driving product growth, improving user adoption, scaling integrations, or enhancing developer tools, you'll own the delivery of high-impact projects that matter to our customers.
    • Work closely with product, design, and other teams to create an engaging technical vision for your area. You'll resolve conflicts, drive alignment, and ensure your team’s work supports broader company objectives.
    • Operate autonomously, prioritize effectively, and make judgment calls on complex, multi-team initiatives. Your ability to scope and lead projects will be key to your success.
USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $255,000 USD and $345,000 USD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.

Canada-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $241,000 CAD and $325,000 CAD, plus immediate participation in 1Password’s generous benefits program (health, dental, RRSP and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.

At 1Password, we approach each individual's compensation with a promise of fair market value and internal equity commensurate with experience and specific skill set.

We believe in the power of remote work, but we also recognize that in-person connection is sometimes important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, occasional travel for in-person engagement will be a part of this role. Frequency will depend on role and responsibilities, and may include, but is not limited to, annual department-wide offsites, team meetings, and customer/industry events. These events will typically be held in varying locations across Canada and the US.
