Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

We’re building a new Developer Relations & Platform Experience team, and we’re looking for an Engineering Manager to help shape it from the ground up. This team sits at the intersection of engineering, advocacy, and customer experience — owning the open-source tooling, SDKs, and community touchpoints that empower developers building on the 1Password Developer Platform. As we expand deeper into AI-powered capabilities, this team will also help guide how developers integrate 1Password with modern AI workflows, tooling, and automation.

You’ll support a team of developer advocates and engineers focused on earning and maintaining trust with our community. You’ll guide the stewardship of our open-source repos and developer tooling, ensure customer feedback is heard and acted on, and help influence the Developer Platform and AI roadmap based on real-world needs. You’ll mentor the team, collaborate across product and engineering groups, and ensure we’re shipping solutions that feel intuitive, reliable, and delightful for builders.

For this role, you can be located within the US or Canada, and will be expected to be fully remote.

What we're looking for:

• Experience managing engineers and/or developer advocates, especially in a hybrid DevRel + engineering environment

• Strong technical fluency with modern developer tooling, SDKs, APIs, and emerging AI ecosystems — you don’t need to write code daily, but you should be able to “talk the talk” and guide the team through technical tradeoffs

• Familiarity with AI developer workflows, such as working with LLM APIs, retrieval systems, embeddings, or AI-based automation tooling

• Comfort representing AI-related features, patterns, and best practices to external developers while feeding insights back into the product

• Experience owning or contributing to open-source projects, including reviewing PRs, triaging issues, and managing community contributions

• A track record of engaging with developers in public forums (GitHub, Slack/Discord communities, StackOverflow, etc.)

• Ability to foster an inclusive, supportive, high-trust team environment

• Demonstrated ability to drive projects to completion and build clear, customer-centric, technically informed roadmaps

• Experience scaling teams, systems, and processes

• Experience managing remote, distributed teams
  
  

What you can expect:

• Help set and support strategic direction for the Developer Relations & Platform Experience team, including for AI-powered platform capabilities

• Own the health, quality, and evolution of our open-source systems, SDKs, AI tooling integrations, and sample applications

• Act as a bridge between developers using AI workflows and the internal product/engineering teams building them

• Drive alignment across the Developer Platform organization and ensure the team’s work supports broader company and AI initiatives

• Represent the voice of the developer by collecting feedback from public forums, customer conversations, and open-source contributions — and translating these into actionable roadmap insights

• Work closely with platform, security, and AI teams to define high-quality solutions that integrate seamlessly into developer use cases

• Scope, prioritize, and plan work with the team to ensure predictable delivery and iterative improvement

• Provide technical direction in collaboration with senior engineers and advocates

• Coach and mentor the team to grow their DevRel, technical, and AI-related competencies

• Recruit and retain top-tier DevRel and engineering talent in a rapidly evolving AI landscape

• Help refine hiring, onboarding, and development processes as the team grows
