About this role

Role Overview

The Privacy Engineer at 1Password is a remote position based in the United States or Canada within the Security organization's Privacy Engineering team. This role focuses on developing technical controls, automation, and tooling to protect personal data across cloud-based products and systems.

Key Responsibilities

Build and deploy agent-based workflows for privacy engineering processes such as privacy review intake, data subject rights requests, data inventory updates, and telemetry classification.
Create AI-assisted tooling that helps engineering teams identify privacy risks earlier and apply appropriate safeguards with less manual effort.
Implement and improve privacy controls related to authorization, data scoping, retention and deletion, consent signals, and responsible data access.
Integrate privacy tooling with engineering workflows and systems, including CI/CD, code review, data catalogs, ticketing platforms, and internal services.
Improve the handling of logs and telemetry through classification, minimization, and redaction practices that support useful visibility without unnecessary data collection.
Enhance manual and semi-automated privacy processes by developing scalable solutions that increase speed, consistency, and auditability.
Write production-quality code, tests, and documentation while maintaining deployed workflows through monitoring, evaluation, error handling, and ongoing iteration.

Requirements

Experience building and shipping production software in a SaaS, cloud, or similarly complex engineering environment.
Proficiency in at least one backend programming language, such as Python, TypeScript, or Go, along with strong fundamentals in testing, debugging, version control, and maintainable software design.
Experience building with large language model (LLM) systems or comparable AI frameworks, including agents, tool-use pipelines, or multi-step orchestration workflows.
Experience integrating software with external systems through APIs, databases, ticketing systems, CI/CD pipelines, or data platforms.
Practical experience with privacy or data-handling concepts such as data minimization, access controls, retention and deletion, consent, or privacy-conscious telemetry.
Ability to take ownership of well-defined projects or workstreams from implementation through delivery and collaborate effectively with cross-functional partners.

Nice to Have

Experience with privacy regulations such as GDPR, CCPA, or CPRA.
Familiarity with data subject rights workflows, data inventories, third-party integrations, and threat modeling.
Background in privacy reviews, prompt design, LLM output validation, reliability patterns, or privacy safeguards for AI-assisted features.
