Developer, Authorization

1Password has surpassed $400M in ARR and continues to accelerate, earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for four consecutive years. We’re building the foundation for a safe, productive digital future by ensuring every identity is authentic, every application sign-in is secure, and every device is trusted. As a leader in enterprise password management and Unified Access Management, we serve over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to innovative AI companies.

About the role

We’re looking for an Intermediate Software Developer to help deliver meaningful product improvements and customer-facing features. In this role, you’ll take ownership of small-to-medium sized projects, contribute to high-quality code, and collaborate with teammates to take work from planning through release and support.

The Authorization team builds the foundation that determines which people and systems can take which actions across 1Password. You’ll own Unified Authorization, cross-product authorization APIs, and supporting services while partnering with Identity Services, Authentication, and Trust Platforms. This is foundational work: you’ll simplify authorization for developers, strengthen access controls for customers, and shape how 1Password governs access as its product ecosystem grows.

How we’re using AI

Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams integrate AI across the software development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. Engineers use AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesize user research at scale, and designers prototype with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI with clear principles, human accountability, and rigorous evaluation before shipping to customers.

Responsibilities

• Build and ship new features, product improvements, and bug fixes within your team’s codebase.
• Own delivery of small-to-medium scoped projects with minimal oversight, following through to completion.
• Participate in the full development lifecycle: planning, implementation, testing, release, and post-launch support.
• Write maintainable, well-tested code and contribute to evolving testing strategies and practices.
• Document your work clearly and share context so others can understand, review, and support what you build.
• Provide thoughtful code reviews that improve quality, support team delivery, and reinforce best practices.
• Collaborate with customer support and other partners to investigate issues and prioritize customer feedback.

Requirements

• Proficiency in Go and solid working knowledge of the tools and technologies needed to complete tasks independently.
• Experience building or working with authorization or identity systems, with a solid understanding of access control and permissions.
• Comfort navigating an existing codebase, reusing established patterns, and proposing improvements when needed.
• A quality mindset: you care about testing, maintainability, and clarity in both code and documentation.
• Strong communication: you share progress, raise blockers early, and ensure stakeholders understand outcomes.
• Collaborative approach: you seek feedback, incorporate it well, and contribute constructively in team discussions.

Nice to have

• Experience supporting production systems and participating in on-call or incident response rotations.
• Familiarity with improving developer workflows (tooling, CI/CD, testing, documentation) to increase team velocity and quality.

How we work with AI

We leverage AI to achieve our mission while critically evaluating its use to create better solutions. Team members are encouraged to learn AI best practices, identify opportunities to apply AI meaningfully, and drive innovative solutions. Embracing AI is essential to our success, and we welcome candidates to use AI tools responsibly during the application process, though live interviews should be conducted without AI assistance.
