New Partnerships Engineering Team

We are establishing a new Partnerships Engineering team, positioned at the intersection of Engineering, Strategic Partnerships, and Product. This team will focus on early technical validation, hands-on integration delivery, and developing scalable platform investments to streamline partner adoption.

Role Overview: Partnerships Engineering Manager

As the Partnerships Engineering Manager, you will build and lead a dedicated Integration Enablement Engineering team. Your primary goal is to ensure the success of 1Password’s external partnerships and integrations, from the initial technical conversation through General Availability. This front-line management role focuses on transforming partnership intent into tangible, shippable integrations, while systematically reducing bespoke efforts through shared infrastructure, tooling, and documentation.

How We’re Using AI Today

Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the entire software and product development lifecycle. Engineers utilize AI-assisted coding tools for faster reviews and early bug detection, product managers synthesize user research at scale, and designers leverage AI for rapid prototyping. We approach AI with clear principles, human accountability, and rigorous evaluation before any release.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What We're Looking For

• Experience managing engineers in a front-line role, with ownership over delivery, execution, and team health.
• Strong technical judgment across APIs, SDKs, integrations, and distributed systems.
• Experience working with or building technical systems that span traditional SaaS infrastructure to AI-native applications.
• Comfort operating in Strategic Partnerships-adjacent environments and collaborating closely with partnerships, sales, and product teams.
• Ability to balance short-term partner needs with long-term platform quality and leverage.
• Clear, effective communication with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Bonus Points For

• Experience building or scaling partner integration programs.
• Familiarity with developer platforms, security products, or identity-related systems.
• Prior experience working directly with external partners or customers on complex integrations.

What You Can Expect

Own technical partnership execution

• Serve as the primary engineering owner for external partnership integrations, from discovery through GA launch.
• Act as the technical counterpart in partnership discussions, validating feasibility, scope, and tradeoffs.
• Support deal progression when needed through design proposals, architecture reviews, and technical assessments.

Build and run the integration program

• Establish and own an external integrations program that tracks work reliably across the full partnership lifecycle.
• Define processes, roles, and execution models that enable multiple integrations to run in parallel without heroics.
• Balance near-term partner delivery with sustained investment in shared infrastructure and self-service tooling.

Lead partner integration delivery

• Guide and support hands-on integration work with partners, including direct consultation and building or extending first-party components.
• Ensure integrations are well-designed, maintainable, and aligned with platform, security, and product standards.
• Collaborate closely with Developer Platform and Cognition teams to land changes cleanly and sustainably.

Raise the bar on documentation and enablement

• Own engineering documentation that supports Strategic Partnerships, external partners, and internal engineers throughout integration work.
• Build and maintain reference architectures, integration guides, and design patterns that reduce ambiguity and rework.

Continuously Improve How Integrations Work

• Identify recurring integration patterns and turn them into reusable approaches.
• Use proofs of concept to explore new integration models and reduce risk ahead of production investment.
• Incrementally evolve integrations toward more plug-and-play, self-service experiences.

Ownership Areas

• External partnership integration program
• IDE integrations
• Browser integrations
• External partner integrations
• Integration documentation and reference architectures
