1Password - Principal Product Manager, Security

• Bring 10+ years of product management experience, including significant time on security-critical products or platforms in a Software as a Service (SaaS) environment. We'll also strongly consider exceptional candidates with equivalent depth, such as security engineers or researchers who moved into product. • Demonstrate deep, demonstrable knowledge of security fundamentals: cryptography, authentication protocols, Identity and Access Management (IAM), zero-knowledge and end-to-end encrypted system design, and threat modeling. Bring fluency in the credential and identity landscape, including passkeys, Web Authentication (WebAuthn), Fast Identity Online (FIDO), and the standards shaping how people sign in. • Show a track record of earning credibility with security engineering teams, not just working alongside them, along with the ability to read and reason through technical specifications, security audits, and cryptographic design documents. • Demonstrate experience making and defending risk-based tradeoffs, explaining them clearly to engineers, executives, and customers, setting strategy at the platform or infrastructure level, and influencing roadmaps you don't own without formal authority. • Show a history of shipping security features that users actually adopt and of using friction and adoption data to improve them. Bring communication that scales from a security research paper to an executive briefing without losing precision in either direction, along with a strong point of view on how the security landscape is shifting and the ability to connect it to concrete roadmap decisions. • Strong plus: Bring standing in the security community through conference talks, publications, research, open-source work, or standards participation; hands-on experience with artificial intelligence (AI) security, including agent identity and authorization, prompt injection, or secrets management for automated systems; or experience with compliance and certification regimes such as Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2), the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), or Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS). • Strong plus: Bring prior work in vulnerability disclosure, incident response, or threat intelligence that gives you a practitioner's intuition, along with experience running or working closely with a bug bounty program or researcher community. • What you can expect: • Partner with product teams on security early. Work with PMs and feature teams to understand their upcoming roadmaps, identify security requirements and threat-model implications before designs are locked, and make sure those needs are visible, prioritized, and resourced. • Align Security Engineering with product strategy. Translate feature-team needs into prioritized security work, and make Security Engineering's priorities legible to the rest of the company so tradeoffs are made in the open. • Own an independent security roadmap. Set direction for platform-level security investments, such as key management and recovery, the cryptographic foundations of our zero-knowledge architecture, authentication, and our long-term readiness for post-quantum cryptography. • Lead our strategy for the AI era. Define how 1Password approaches agentic access to credentials, secrets for non-human identities and AI agents, and the trust models emerging around tools and protocols like the Model Context Protocol (MCP). • Balance risk and usability with evidence. Help security engineers weigh real-world risk against user friction, using adoption, support, and telemetry data alongside threat models. Shipping with accepted, documented residual risk is sometimes the right call, and you'll help us make and defend those decisions. • Represent 1Password to the security community. Engage with security researchers and our bug bounty program, speak at conferences, and contribute to the wider conversation about where credential security is heading. • Raise the bar for product work. Coach PMs on security thinking, challenge assumptions constructively, and set the standard for how security-critical product work gets done. • You can expect to work with a passionate, highly motivated Product and Security team that holds an exceptional bar and genuinely cares about getting it right; have a direct line to decisions that shape the security architecture millions of people depend on every day; and be empowered to set long-term security product strategy and drive it through execution. You'll work in a culture where technical depth is respected, tradeoffs are named honestly, and shipping the right thing matters more than shipping fast. You'll also be part of a collaborative environment where the best argument wins, regardless of title. • USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $238,000 USD and $357,000 USD; 15% annual bonus, 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 $208,000 CAD and $312,000 CAD; 15% annual bonus, 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. • This posting is for an existing vacancy. • At 1Password, we prioritize collaboration, clear and transparent communication, receptiveness to feedback, and alignment with our core values: keep it simple, lead with honesty, and put people first. • You’ll be part of a team that challenges the status quo, and is excited to experiment and iterate in search of the best solution.

We also understand that thinking critically about AI in its current forms will help us create better solutions for our customers and ourselves with its future forms, which will help us continue to close the gap between security and privacy and achieve our mission. We want team members at all levels to take the approach of actively learning AI best practices, identifying opportunities to apply AI in meaningful ways, and driving innovative solutions in their daily work. Embracing the future of AI isn't just encouraged—it's an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password. • This approach extends to our hiring process—candidates are welcome to use AI tools responsibly and thoughtfully during the application process.
