3+ years of experience in security engineering, DevSecOps, solutions engineering, GRC automation, or compliance roles.
Experience working with GRC, compliance, or audit teams to support automation for evidence collection, control testing, or security monitoring.
Hands-on experience working with GRC platforms (e.g., Drata, Vanta, Tines, JupiterOne) - configuration, integration, or implementation experience is strong signal.
Scripting and integration skills using Python, JavaScript, APIs, webhooks, or workflow automation tools - you've built something, not just configured it.
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.
Organizational and delivery skills - you can manage your workstreams with clear milestones, communicate progress proactively, and keep multiple tasks moving without losing quality.
Curiosity and experience with AI-assisted workflows - you've experimented with LLMs, agentic tools, or automation pipelines in a GRC or compliance context and can describe what you tried, what worked, and what you'd do differently.
Comfortable in auditor-facing settings - you can explain your work clearly to external auditors and senior stakeholders. You know the difference between what you built and what it proves.
Bonus points for:
Hands-on experience with event-driven automation platforms like Tines and their use in control validation and alerting.
Experience building evidence pipelines, tagging telemetry, or creating compliance dashboards.
Familiarity with cloud-native security architecture and its relationship to compliance controls (e.g., AWS IAM, encryption, logging).
Experience 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.
CISA, Security+, or equivalent certification, or actively working toward one.

1Password is looking for a Security Engineer - GRC Automation to help design and implement automation, dashboards, and integrations that power our Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) operations.
You'll work closely with the Senior Manager of GRC and senior GRC engineers 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 contributing to the operationalization and expansion of our GRC platform (Drata), building and executing AI-assisted workflows that automate evidence collection, control monitoring, and vendor risk.
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 is growing their expertise in high-context, high-impact environments. You'll build things and you'll be expected to understand what you built well enough to explain it - including in auditor-facing conversations.
This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.
