Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future. Our Network & Edge Services team owns the networking infrastructure that powers 1Password — from DNS resolution and CDN edge protection through ingress, service mesh, and the wide-area connectivity that links our infrastructure together. As a Senior Platform Engineer on this team, you will play an important role in building the self-service platforms and reliable, secure network foundation that 1Password depends on. Your responsibilities include designing and delivering network infrastructure across DNS, edge, ingress, and service mesh; building the tooling and abstractions that let other engineering teams provision and manage their own networking needs without depending on the NES team; and ensuring the network is observable, hardened, and resilient by default. You will work closely with cross-functional partners to understand their needs and keep them aligned on priorities and progress, while contributing to a team culture of shared ownership, direct feedback, and continuous improvement. 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: 5+ years of hands-on experience with cloud networking and distributed systems at SaaS or similar scale, with expertise in architecting and debugging across the stack. Deep knowledge of internet architecture and modern web services (DNS, CDN, WAF, Load Balancing, Ingress, Service Mesh), and demonstrated ability to deliver reliable, observable, and secure infrastructure. Proficiency in Go (or similar languages) and Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), with a track record of building automation and platform tooling. Experience building reliable, observable platforms, defining SLIs/SLOs, and establishing these practices as team standards. On-call experience, including incident resolution and driving architectural improvements through postmortems and technical decision-making. Consistently apply a security-first approach, implementing least-privilege policies, ensuring encryption in transit, and evaluating attack surfaces as part of standard design practices. Bonus points for: Experience designing self-service network abstractions (DNS provisioning, ingress configuration, network policy tooling) that empower internal teams. Experience with CDN, edge protection (cache strategy, WAF, origin shielding), VPNs, and wide-area connectivity in cloud environments. Familiarity with tools like Envoy, Linkerd, Cloudfront, or Cloudflare. Open source contributions and experience applying compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001) to networking and policy as code. What you can expect: Deliver network stack projects end-to-end (service mesh, DNS, ingress/egress, CDN, edge protection, L4/L7 policy). Shape technical vision, execute delivery, and maintain operability. Integrate networking into self-service platforms, streamlining workflows and enabling engineering teams to operate independently. Participate in the on-call rotation, driving incident resolution and continuous improvement through postmortem analysis. Collaborate with cross-functional partners in security, platform, and product engineering. Translate their needs into well-defined work and keep them informed about priorities, progress, and risks. Foster a collaborative team culture by conducting design reviews, sharing knowledge, and mentoring. We value engineers who teach as much as they build. Work remotely from anywhere in the US or Canada, with periodic team meetups for planning and connection. We prioritize asynchronous communication to respect your time and focus. USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $150,000 USD and $210,000 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.

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.

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.
