Product Designer

Our Experience, Design and Research (EDR) team is at the heart of this mission—transforming complex security challenges into elegant, human-centered experiences. We value collaboration, curiosity, and a strong design culture built on customer empathy and innovation.

If you're excited about the opportunity to contribute to the digital safety of millions, to work alongside a team of curious, driven individuals, and to solve hard problems in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, then we want to hear from you. Come join us and help shape a safer, simpler digital future.

As a Product Designer at 1Password, you'll contribute to the design of meaningful product experiences that make security clear, usable, and trustworthy for individuals and businesses alike. You'll own well-defined features and problem spaces—partnering with product managers, engineers, and researchers to understand user needs, explore solutions, and deliver high-quality work that aligns with both customer goals and business priorities.

This role is ideal for a generalist designer who is building their product thinking, developing a strong design craft, and growing their ability to balance usability, accessibility, and security considerations. You'll contribute to design direction within your focus area, collaborate closely with your team on shared standards and practices, and raise the quality of work around you through active participation in critique and peer feedback.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their work, seeks out feedback to improve, and is genuinely motivated by solving hard problems in a fast-moving environment.

How we’re using AI today

Our Engineering, Product, and Design teams are thoughtfully integrating AI across the full software and product development lifecycle to move faster without sacrificing quality or security. In practice, that looks like engineers using AI-assisted coding tools to accelerate reviews and catch bugs earlier, product managers synthesizing user research at scale, and designers rapidly prototyping and iterating with AI-generated mockups. We approach AI the same way we approach security: with clear principles, human accountability at every consequential decision point, and rigorous evaluation before anything ships to customers.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

What we're looking for:

• 2–4 years of relevant design experience at a product-driven company

• Proficiency in Figma and experience with AI prototyping tools e.g. Figma Make, Cursor

• AI technical proficiency and curiosity about agentic development tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, or MCP-based tools) and how AI is changing the design-to-code pipeline; hands-on experience is a plus

• A portfolio of recent project work demonstrating your craft, design process, and the impact of your work on users

• Experience collaborating with Engineering, Product Management, and/or User Research to ship designs

• Growing product thinking and an ability to make informed design decisions using research, data, and a clear point of view

• Ability to work independently with some support, take ownership of your projects, and actively seek feedback to improve

• Interest and/or experience in cybersecurity, SaaS, or similarly complex product domains

Bonus points for:

• Experience designing for security, privacy, enterprise, or highly regulated products.

• Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive design practices.

• Experience running or participating in usability tests or other research methods.

• Experience contributing to a design system.

• Genuine curiosity about cybersecurity and the role design plays in building user trust and confidence.

What you can expect:

Month 1

• Immerse yourself in our team culture, tools, design process, and workflows, building foundational knowledge of our customers, their needs, and the broader cybersecurity landscape.

• Meet your cross-functional partners in Product and Engineering, getting up to speed on your product area and beginning to understand key priorities and ongoing work.

• Connect with peers across the Experience, Design, and Research (EDR) team, establishing relationships and starting to contribute to active projects with guidance.

Month 3

• Independently drive the design of well-scoped features, from discovery through delivery, with regular check-ins and feedback from your manager and team.

• Actively participate in design critiques and team rituals, sharing work openly, incorporating feedback, and building confidence in communicating your design rationale.

• Begin to develop a deeper understanding of your product area, proactively identifying questions and gaps and bringing a clearer point of view to your work.

Month 6+

• Take ownership of increasingly complex features, demonstrating consistent design quality and a growing ability to navigate ambiguity with less guidance.

• Build stronger cross-functional relationships, contributing meaningfully to roadmap and prioritization conversations alongside your PM and engineering partners.

• Reflect on your growth, identify areas where you want to develop further, and begin contributing to team culture through peer feedback, mentorship of interns or junior designers, and/or participation in improving shared processes.
