Job description

the company 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 the company

At the company, 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 the company 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.

We are excited to welcome a Software Developer to join our new Data Security team here at the company, whose mission is to safeguard the company’s foundation by designing, implementing, and maintaining cryptographic systems and practices that ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information across our products.

As part of our Security Department, the Developer will be partially responsible for the underlying cryptography across our products. You'll build cryptographic libraries and implement the latest algorithms directly into our client applications with security, performance and usability in mind. You'll develop proof‑of‑concepts and implement new industry specifications into code. You'll also conduct code and design reviews to ensure good cryptographic hygiene and standards across our codebase.

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:

• You have 0-2+ years of experience in software development.

• You have a passion for and strong experience with security development best practices, coding standards, and design patterns.

• You have a basic understanding of modern cryptographic algorithms, trade‑offs and implementation considerations gained from real world experience.

• You work well in a team environment with positive communications amongst a variety of technical and non‑technical stakeholders.

• You have proven experience in implementing testing methodologies and debugging techniques to ensure high‑quality code.

• You're adaptable and resilient, thriving in fast‑paced environments with shifting priorities.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with implementing industry standards into new libraries or codebases.

• Experience with Rust and/or Golang, or a demonstrated ability to pick up new languages quickly.

What you can expect:

• Work with a small team of security developers who are specialists in Rust and Golang Security.

• Develop cryptographic or other security libraries to share common security‑critical code across our applications.

• Assist in security design efforts or scoping initiatives for new features, particularly with heavy cryptographic components.

• Assess and take appropriate steps to resolve new security vulnerabilities across our applications.

• Implement new security features for the next generation of the company.

• Demonstrate leadership in security development and act as a trusted point of contact for management and other developers.

• Work with a variety of teams across our hybrid core architecture, including Design, Product and Product Engineering.

USA‑based roles only:

The annual base salary for this role is between $100,000 USD and $140,000 USD, plus immediate participation in the company'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 $85,000 CAD and $119,000 CAD, plus immediate participation in the company’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 the company, 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.

Our culture

At the company, 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. That said, the company is not for everyone. 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.

How we work with AI

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 - it's an essential part of how we will be successful at the company.

Our approach to remote work

We believe in the power of remote work, but recognize that in‑person connection is important to help us achieve our mission. While we are a remote‑first company, travel for in‑person engagement is a part of almost all roles, and we require our employees to be ready and willing to take part. Frequency will depend on role and responsibilities, and may include, but is not limited to: annual department‑wide offsites, team meetings, and customer/industry events.

What we offer

We believe in working hard, and rewarding that hard work through our benefits. While not an exhaustive list
