Trust is earned — and we’re building the systems to earn it at scale. 1Password is looking for a Senior Security Engineer – GRC Automation to design and implement automation, dashboards, and integrations that power our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) operations. You’ll partner directly with the Senior Manager of GRC to build automation that scales our security and privacy commitments — from audit readiness and policy enforcement to customer trust workflows. A key focus for this role will be operationalizing and expanding our GRC platform (Drata), building AI-assisted workflows that automate evidence collection, control monitoring, and vendor risk — and owning the delivery of those projects from scoping through go-live. This is a hands-on technical role for someone who’s passionate about making GRC repeatable, visible, and built into how the company works. It sits at the intersection of security engineering, compliance, and platform operations — ideal for someone with a solutions engineering, DevSecOps, or GRC practitioner background who thrives in high-context, high-impact environments. You won't just build things — you'll also be in the room with auditors, owning the technical narrative for what you've built and why. This is a remote opportunity within the US or Canada. What we're looking for: 5+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, solutions engineering, or GRC automation roles. Proven experience working with GRC, compliance, or audit teams to build automation that supports evidence collection, control testing, or security monitoring. Direct experience implementing and integrating GRC platforms (e.g., Drata, Vanta, Tines, JupiterOne) into production environments. Strong scripting and integration skills using Python, JavaScript, APIs, webhooks, or workflow automation tools. Ability to work cross-functionally with security, compliance, legal, and infrastructure teams to translate policies into scalable technical systems. Familiarity with compliance frameworks such as SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST 800-53, and how they map to real-world infrastructure and operations. Project management and delivery ownership — experience managing multi-workstream compliance or security projects end-to-end: scoping, milestones, stakeholder communication, and on-time delivery. You can run a project without a PM holding your hand. Experience building AI-assisted workflows — you've worked with LLMs, agentic tools, or automation pipelines (beyond click-through tools) to solve a GRC or compliance problem and can walk through what you built, why, and how you validated the output. Confident in auditor-facing settings — you have a commanding presence in technical walkthroughs and can represent your automation work clearly to external auditors, senior stakeholders, and executive audiences. You know the difference between what you built and what it proves. Bonus points if you have: Hands-on experience with event-driven automation platforms like Tines and their use in control validation and alerting. Expertise in building evidence pipelines, tagging telemetry, or creating GRC dashboards in tools like Looker or Metabase. Strong understanding of cloud-native security architecture and its relationship to compliance controls (e.g., AWS IAM, encryption, logging). Experience working in customer trust, privacy engineering, or supporting sales/GTM teams with compliance assurance content. Familiarity with EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, or emerging AI governance frameworks — increasingly relevant as 1Password governs access for AI agents alongside human users.
