Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future. We’re building the next generation of public-facing APIs at 1Password, and we’re looking for a Staff Developer to help lead that effort. This is a critical role at the intersection of platform architecture, developer experience, and security, with a direct impact on our largest technical initiative for 2026. The team is evolving from delivering individual APIs into owning a shared, reusable API platform that teams across 1Password will build upon. This platform defines how we safely expose core product capabilities through stable, well-designed APIs—both externally and internally—and how we evolve those interfaces without breaking trust or existing workflows as the product grows. As a Staff Developer on this team, you will act as the technical DRI for the public API platform.
