Privacy Engineer - 1Password

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.

About the Role

Privacy is central to building products people trust. As a Privacy Engineer on 1Password’s Privacy Engineering team within the Security organization, you’ll build technical controls, automation, and tooling that help protect personal data across our products and systems.

You’ll combine software engineering with artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted approaches to improve privacy reviews, data handling, retention, deletion, and telemetry practices at scale. Working closely with Engineering, Product, Data, and Legal and Privacy partners, you’ll help make privacy by design practical, consistent, and durable across a cloud-based product environment.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What We're Looking For

• Experience: Building and shipping production software in a Software as a Service (SaaS), cloud, or similarly complex engineering environment.
• Technical Skills: Proficiency in at least one backend programming language, such as Python, TypeScript, or Go, along with strong fundamentals in testing, debugging, version control, and maintainable software design.
• AI Frameworks: Experience building with large language model (LLM) systems or comparable AI frameworks, including agents, tool-use pipelines, or multi-step orchestration workflows.
• Integrations: Experience integrating software with external systems through application programming interfaces (APIs), databases, ticketing systems, CI/CD pipelines, or data platforms.
• Privacy Domain Knowledge: Practical experience with privacy or data-handling concepts such as data minimization, access controls, retention and deletion, consent, or privacy-conscious telemetry, and the ability to translate established privacy requirements into concrete engineering work.
• Collaboration: Ability to take ownership of well-defined projects or workstreams from implementation through delivery and collaborate effectively with Security, Engineering, Product, Data, and Legal and Privacy partners.
• Preferred Qualifications: Experience with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, or CPRA, as well as data subject rights workflows, data inventories, third-party integrations, threat modeling, privacy reviews, prompt design, LLM output validation, reliability patterns, or privacy safeguards for AI-assisted features.

What You Can Expect

• Build and deploy agent-based workflows for privacy engineering processes such as privacy review intake, data subject rights requests, data inventory updates, and telemetry classification.
• Build AI-assisted tooling that helps engineering teams identify privacy risks earlier and apply appropriate safeguards with less manual effort.
• Implement and improve privacy controls related to authorization, data scoping, retention and deletion, consent signals, and responsible data access.
• Integrate privacy tooling with engineering workflows and systems, including continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD), code review, data catalogs, ticketing platforms, and internal services.
• Improve the handling of logs and telemetry through classification, minimization, and redaction practices that support useful visibility without unnecessary data collection.
• Improve manual and semi-automated privacy processes by developing scalable solutions that increase speed, consistency, and auditability.
• Write production-quality code, tests, and documentation while maintaining deployed workflows through monitoring, evaluation, error handling, and ongoing iteration.

Our Approach to Remote Work

We believe in the power of remote work, but recognize that in-person connection is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote-first company, travel for in-person engagement is a part of almost all roles, and we require our employees to be ready and willing to take part. 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.
