Staff Developer, SDLC Foundations

Details

• 8+ years of professional software development experience in a production SaaS environment.
• Hands-on experience building and evolving platform-level services: feature flagging systems, schema management, developer tooling, or experimentation infrastructure.
• Proven ability to design scalable backend services and APIs that span multiple product surfaces and teams.
• Experience leading cross-team technical initiatives that require alignment across frontend, backend, platform, and product stakeholders.
• Proficiency in Go.
• Demonstrated ability to influence engineering direction beyond your immediate team, and to move ambiguous, high-impact problems forward with autonomy.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to build shared understanding across engineering, product, and infrastructure stakeholders around complex technical decisions.
• Experience building or migrating to centralized feature flag or A/B testing systems at scale.
• Familiarity with schema type systems and cross-service type safety approaches.
• Experience working on developer experience tooling (build tooling, local development environments, CI/CD, changelog automation).
• Familiarity with Nix, monorepo tooling, or code generation frameworks (e.g., Typeshare).
• Play a foundational role in shaping how 1Password engineers build and ship features reliably and safely at scale.
• Drive the evolution of the Feature Rollout Service (FRS) from a client-facing flag centralization service toward full service-to-service communication, retiring legacy patterns along the way.
• Lead the architecture and delivery of the Experiment Platform (Horizon 1), enabling 1Password teams to run consistent, trustworthy experiments across product surfaces.
• Partner with platform and product engineering teams to ship Typeshare 2.0, improving cross-language type safety and developer ergonomics.
• Improve developer experience through org chart automation, schema type refactoring, and tooling that reduces friction and toil for engineering teams.
• Establish technical guardrails and best practices that ensure platform velocity does not come at the cost of reliability, security, or operational maturity.
• Mentor engineers and raise the technical bar for platform thinking across the organization.
• Influence roadmap decisions by grounding strategy in technical constraints and infrastructure opportunity.
• Stay hands-on in implementation work where architectural depth is required.
