Senior Security Engineer, Threat Intelligence

Job description

1Password is growing. We’ve surpassed $400M in ARR and we’re continuing to accelerate, earning a spot on the Forbes Cloud 100 for four years in a row and teaming up with iconic partners like Oracle Red Bull Racing. 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. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work. If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future. At 1Password, security isn’t just a feature – it’s our foundation. The Security Operations team’s mission is to protect the business by securing the systems, tools, and processes that power how we work. Our mission is to keep 1Password productive, resilient, and safe through proactive monitoring, rapid response, and continuous improvement of preventative and detective controls. The Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) function helps drive intelligence-led security. Our goal is not just to track threats, but to turn adversary behavior and emerging techniques into real improvements across detection, response, and adversary simulation. This is not a traditional, reporting-heavy threat intelligence role. This role is focused on operationalizing intelligence. You will build automation, integrate intelligence into security tooling, develop intelligence-driven hunting hypotheses, and help ensure threat intelligence directly influences how we detect, respond to, and simulate attacks. This is a high-impact role that blends adversary research, technical engineering, and cross-functional collaboration. This role reports to the Manager of Detection & Response. How we’re using AI today Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers. This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US. What we're looking for: - An adversary-focused security engineer who understands attacker behavior and defensive systems. - A builder who enjoys designing automation, integrations, and scaling workflows. - Comfortable writing code, working with APIs, and integrating security platforms. - Analytical and hypothesis-driven, with strong judgment in assessing threat credibility and relevance. - A strong collaborator who can translate intelligence into practical security improvements - Able to clearly communicate complex ideas to technical and non-technical audiences - 5+ years of experience in cyber threat intelligence, with 3+ years focused on security engineering and automation. - Strong understanding of modern attacker techniques, particularly in identity, credential abuse, cloud exploitation, and AI-assisted attack scenarios. - Experience integrating threat intelligence platforms and building automation around intelligence ingestion and enrichment. - Proficiency in scripting or programming (e.g., Python, Go) and working with APIs and data pipelines. - Experience applying AI/ML-assisted tools to enhance intelligence analysis or signal prioritization. - Willingness to participate in an on-call rotation and support security incidents during high-severity or off-hours events. What you can expect: - Track and analyze threat actors, campaigns, and techniques targeting identity and cloud environments - Translate intelligence into actionable detections, hunting hypotheses, and adversary simulations - Partner with Detection Engineering, Incident Response, and other security teams to drive security decisions - Produce clear technical assessments and executive-ready insights to inform risk prioritization - Build and maintain automated pipelines to ingest, enrich, and distribute threat intelligence - Map adversary behaviors to internal telemetry and control coverage to identify gaps - Apply AI and intelligent tooling to accelerate analysis and correlation while maintaining rigor - Strengthen intelligence-led security practices through hypothesis-driven hunting and continuous learning USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $153,000 USD and $214,000 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 $144,000 CAD and $202,000 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. Our culture 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.

Our work is demanding, we strive for excellence, and the pace is fast. We need people who are keen to take on challenging problems, who seek feedback to grow, and who are driven to make an impact. If you're looking for a place where you can settle into a comfortable routine, this might not be the right fit for you. We’re looking for individuals who are proven experts in their fields, as well as those who are highly adaptable, can thrive in ambiguity and through change, are curious, and above all deliver results. We are committed to leveraging cutting-edge technology—including AI—to achieve our mission. 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 at 1Password—it's an essential part of how we will be successful at 1Password.
