Developer, Open Source

Responsibilities

• Acquire and maintain a solid understanding of your development toolchain and use it to contribute new features, improvements, and bug fixes across the team's codebases.
• Participate in the complete lifecycle of a feature: contribute to planning, do the development, and help oversee its release and customer support.
• Ensure code is high quality and maintainable by developing new testing strategies in addition to existing ones, writing unit and integration tests for new and existing code, documenting your work thoroughly, and reporting issues effectively.
• Plan your solutions ahead of writing code, recognize and reuse existing patterns and best practices (development, security, quality), and submit well-documented merge requests.
• Participate in and review documented proposals (RFCs/RFDs), promote best practices in code reviews, and provide thoughtful peer feedback.
• Empower our customer support team to better support our products, address tough issues driving support inflows, and help determine high-priority customer feedback.
• Be an active participant in team organization: refinement, prioritization, and group estimation.
• Be curious and on the lookout for improvement opportunities you can suggest or tackle yourself, whether in repo cleanup, community engagement tooling, or IDE integration ergonomics.

Requirements

• Professional software development experience, with the ability to take a reasonably scoped feature from plan to release with a high degree of independence.
• Working knowledge of the technologies and tools needed to complete tasks independently.
• Solid experience with a modern development toolchain (Git, IDEs, terminal, debugging and testing, dependency management) and the languages relevant to the team's work.
• Good written communication and documentation habits, suited to working in public repositories.
• Interest in developer tooling, IDE and agent integrations, and/or open source community work.
• Interest in agent-assisted development and building tools to make agent-assisted development smoother and more secure.
• A security-conscious mindset aligned with 1Password's principles.

Nice-to-Haves

• Prior contributions to open source projects.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled or agentic IDEs (e.g., Cursor) or building editor/IDE extensions.
