# Senior IT Engineer, Identity and Access ManagementUnited States35 minutes agoID 4369708Price on request## DetailsEmployment type: Full-timeRemote: YesCompany: 1Password## Description1Password is growing. We’ve surpassed $500M 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. 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. As a Senior IT Engineer on the IT Engineering team, you’ll shape how identity and access work across 1Password. You’ll lead Identity and Access Management (IAM) initiatives, improve our Okta environment, and help expand Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled workflows across IT. Your work will make secure access simpler and more reliable, helping advance 1Password’s mission to create a safer, simpler digital future for everyone. 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 • Bring substantial experience in a technical IT role, including experience in IT engineering or systems administration. • Administer Okta or a comparable Identity Provider (IdP), such as Microsoft Entra ID, in a production environment. • Apply identity protocols including Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID Connect (OIDC), and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) to connect applications. • Build integrations and automation using Representational State Transfer (REST) APIs and scripting languages such as Python and Bash. • Use infrastructure or configuration as code with Git-based workflows, including pull requests and code review. • Demonstrate experience applying AI to accelerate or replace team workflows, while managing project timelines, risks, stakeholder communication, and organizational change. • Bring experience managing an IdP with Terraform, using 1Password Enterprise and Device Trust, or supporting Service Organization Control 2 (SOC 2), Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX), or ISO 27001 audits. What you can expect • Operate and improve Okta, including tenant configuration, policies, lifecycle management, and complex identity issues. • Lead IAM initiatives from concept through rollout, including role-based access control, access reviews, and onboarding and offboarding automation. • Build safeguards that make identity and access changes safer to deploy and easier to audit. • Design durable application integrations using SAML, OIDC, SCIM, and custom API work where needed. • Simplify access requests and employee lifecycle processes so secure workflows are also efficient workflows. • Partner with IT, Security, and Device Infrastructure teams to plan rollouts, manage risk, establish identity practices, and support audit and compliance work. • Participate in the on-call rotation and provide clear guidance on identity and access questions across 1Password.
