About the Role: Staff Security Engineer - Corporate Security (SaaS Focus)
The Corporate Security team is on a mission to protect 1Password, its assets, and its people by building scalable, proactive, and user-friendly security programs. As a Staff Security Engineer, you'll be a key player in shaping our SaaS security strategy, mitigating risks, and ensuring a secure work environment.
This is more than just a job; it's an opportunity to build a program from the ground up, influence team direction, and mentor teammates while making a tangible impact on the security of our organization.
What You'll Do:
Specialize in managing, mitigating, and monitoring SaaS risk through technical analysis and implementation of mitigations.
Take ownership of processes and build a comprehensive SaaS security program.
Partner with the Corporate Security Manager and other Security leaders to define team direction and contribute to roadmap planning.
Lead by example, mentoring teammates and fostering a culture of inclusion, autonomy, and technical excellence.
Build, automate, and own processes using scripting or coding (e.g., Python, Bash) and infrastructure automation (e.g., Terraform, CI/CD).
Build strong, trust-based relationships with partner teams across the organization.
Operate as a technical lead to advance the Corporate Security program, building a specialized sub-team focused on SaaS Security.
Collaborate with your manager, Security leadership, and IT Engineering to define the vision and roadmap for Corporate Security and the SaaS Security sub-team.
Represent Corporate Security in cross-functional partnerships, working with IT Engineering, Procurement, and GRC to align roadmaps, improve SaaS management practices, and ensure SaaS adoption and security are handled consistently across the business.
Collaborate closely with the Endpoint and Identity Corporate Security squads.
Plan, scope, and deliver SaaS Security program foundations, including inventory and visibility, secure configuration standards, configuration drift detection, automation pipelines, and measurable success criteria.
Help uplevel the skills of teammates across squads, sharing SaaS, automation, and program-building expertise.
Use data from EDR, MDM, identity providers, our SIEM and SOAR platforms, and SaaS platforms to detect, analyze, and respond to threats.
Participate in security audits, vendor assessments, and tabletop exercises.
Participate in an on-call rotation with potential for work on nights or weekends in the event a significant security issue is identified.
What You Need to Succeed:
Minimum of 7 years of combined experience in the IT or security space, related to corporate or enterprise security.
Proven experience designing and building security programs that scale, turning emerging functions into durable, repeatable practices.
Ability to operate as a technical lead within a Security team, defining roadmaps and guiding architectural decisions.
Ability to model SaaS threats, assess vendor and integration risks, and harden configurations to mitigate risk across platforms such as Google Workspace, GitHub, or Salesforce. Experience with SSPM platforms is a plus.
Strong knowledge of SSO, federation, SCIM provisioning, and conditional access policies, and how identity security underpins SaaS adoption.
Familiarity with device posture enforcement and integrating MDM/EDR data (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Kandji, Jamf) with SaaS security workflows to reduce risk.
Experience with configuration as code (CaC) practices for SaaS and identity systems, ensuring repeatability, visibility, and auditability of security configurations.
Proficiency in scripting and automation using Python, Bash, Terraform, and CI/CD pipelines, and experience using a SOAR platform (Tines, Torq, Splunk) to automate security workflows.
Experience being “customer zero” — dogfooding company products internally, and providing actionable feedback that improves both internal adoption and customer value.
Collaborative mindset, with excellent communication skills, ownership mentality, and a commitment to psychological safety and team development.
Comfort dealing with ambiguous problem spaces, able to work proactively and independently to build and drive projects to completion, and able to influence effectively without authority.
