Job description

Job Title: Senior Developer – Open Source Team

Senior Developer on the Open Source Team, focused on strengthening 1Password's open source posture and making developer tools easy to use directly inside developers' workflows through agentic IDE integrations such as Agent Hooks and IDE plugins. You'll serve as a technical leader, owning architectural decisions and driving cohesive execution on medium‑to‑large projects from initial planning through development and into customer support.

Location: Remote – available in Canada and the US.

Responsibilities

• Significant professional software development experience, with a track record of independently owning and delivering medium‑to‑large technical projects end to end.
• Advanced hands‑on command of a modern development toolchain (Git, IDEs, terminal, debugging and testing tools) and the languages relevant to the team's work; comfortable reading, writing, and reviewing others' code.
• Experience designing extensible, maintainable systems, ideally developer tooling, IDE extensions, agent integrations, or actively maintained open source projects.
• Demonstrated ability to set technical direction and make architectural decisions that keep products scalable, secure, and high quality.
• A track record of working effectively in public, engaging with external contributors and upholding a high quality bar in community‑facing repositories.
• Interest in agent‑assisted development and building tools to make agent‑assisted development smoother and more secure.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to make a project's impact and progress visible to engineering, product, and design stakeholders.
• A security‑minded approach consistent with 1Password's principles.

Bonus Points For

• Experience maintaining a popular open source project or running open source community engagement.
• Familiarity with AI‑enabled or agentic IDEs (e.g., Cursor) and the emerging agent‑hook ecosystem.
• Experience contributing to an Open Source Program Office (OSPO) or similar function.

What You Can Expect

• Contribute large new features, significant product improvements, and critical bug fixes, such as extending our Agent Hooks across IDEs or building genuine in‑IDE value beyond links to external docs.
• Make architectural decisions that keep our integrations and public repositories scalable, secure, and aligned to 1Password's existing security and authentication models.
• Contribute to the team's roadmap by identifying technical opportunities and risks up to ~6 months out, then lead execution aligned to team objectives.
• Raise the quality bar by identifying lapses in code quality and gaps in testing coverage, anticipating and reporting potential problems, and fostering a high standard of documentation across community‑facing repositories.
• Ensure alignment with cross‑functional partners (Partnerships, Product, UX, and the SDK/CLI teams), translating requirements into actionable work.
• Drive initiatives that better support 1Password customers on your platform and mitigate issues developers face.
• Contribute to a positive, collaborative team environment by modeling best practices, providing constructive feedback, and supporting a sense of shared ownership.
