Over 150,000 businesses and millions of people log in to 1Password to unlock smart, simple access to everything they care about. Our vision is to create a safer, simpler digital future for everyone, and our culture values simplicity, honesty and a human-centric approach to solving problems. Come help us unlock peace of mind so everyone can stay safer online.



We are excited to welcome a Staff Rails Developer to join our growing Kolide team here at 1Password, whose focus is endpoint security and user-friendly solutions that help to communicate security issues in simple, accessible, and effective ways for everyday users. 



As a Staff Rails Developer, you will play a pivotal role in defining our technical roadmap, leading major architectural decisions, and fostering a culture of technical excellence within and beyond your team. Your expertise in endpoint security will help us continue to enhance our platform with a focus on visibility into device security and empowering users to maintain a secure digital environment. Your work will extend far beyond implementation, as you’ll shape the foundation of 1Password’s Rails engineering practices. Collaborating in our remote-first environment, you’ll have the autonomy to lead impactful projects while mentoring and inspiring engineers across the organization. In this critical role, you’ll work on a key product that’s central to 1Password’s vision of a safer, simpler digital future for everyone, with the opportunity to make an impact at both the product and company-wide level. 



This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US. You will be expected to be fully remote, with periodic travel to meet up with your team and leaders for on-sites.


What we're looking for:


    • 7+
      years of experience building and scaling complex SaaS platforms with
      Ruby on Rails, with a proven track record of leading technical
      initiatives and delivering impactful results.
    • Deep expertise in
      database architecture and optimization, with the ability to design and
      implement scalable data solutions that meet the demands of a growing
      global user base.
    • Expertise with modern Rails front-end tech, including Stimulus and Turbo.
    • A
      strong communicator, who can convey technical details clearly, both in
      documentation and when interacting with customers or less technical
      colleagues.
    • Experience building and scaling applications,
      particularly with a focus on performance and reliability. You understand
      how to diagnose bottlenecks and resolve scalability challenges.
    • Drive
      projects to successful completion, ensuring they meet quality
      standards, deadlines, and deliverables through hands-on leadership and
      building strong relationships across partners throughout the company.
    • Lead
      and support senior engineers through solving some of the hardest
      problems at 1Password. Foster a culture of innovation and continuous
      improvement.
    • Focus on customer needs to push the boundaries of user experience that 1Password has become known for.
    • Bonus points for:
    • An
      advocate for modern Rails practices and a thought leader in the
      ecosystem, contributing to open-source projects, speaking at
      conferences, or publishing insights that advance the field.
    • A background in security or IT is beneficial, and you enjoy simplifying complex technical concepts for end-users
    • Experience working in a remote-first company or distributed teams is a plus. 

What you can expect:


    • Own
      the design and implementation of core systems, influencing project
      success and course correcting as necessary, to ensure scalability and
      alignment with 1Password’s broader technical goals. 
    • Drive the
      development of APIs, authentication systems, and customer-facing UI,
      ensuring seamless integration with other 1Password services.
    • Implement
      enhancements using modern Rails features like Hotwire, Stimulus, and
      Turbo to improve the reactivity of our web applications.
    • Solve
      complex technical problems both directly and through others. Serve as a
      technical leader and mentor across the organization, setting engineering
      best practices, guiding architectural decisions, and fostering a
      culture of innovation. 
    • Act as a trusted advisor to senior
      leadership and cross-functional stakeholders, influencing decisions that
      impact company-wide initiatives and unify our approach to security,
      performance, and user experience.
    • Collaborate with product,
      design, and security leaders on cross-functional projects and help to
      shape 1Password’s technical direction, bridging teams and ensuring
      alignment between user needs and engineering solutions.
    • Participate in code reviews, offering constructive feedback, and helping teammates adhere to best practices.
    • Rotate
      through "on-call" responsibilities to help review PRs, assist other
      engineers, and provide technical support to other departments such as
      Customer Success and Sales.
    • A remote-first environment with a focus on asynchronous collaboration, and a supportive, passionate, and collaborative team.
    • A
      culture of innovation and technical leadership, where you’ll have the
      opportunity to mentor developers, influence 1Password’s engineering
      direction, and leave a lasting impact on the future of digital security
