Over 100,000 businesses and millions of people use 1Password to protect their most important information, and we believe those people – and the companies they work for – shouldn’t have to choose between security and productivity. We see security as a human challenge, rather than a technological one. It’s hard work, but our mission has always been to ease the tension between security and convenience and help people navigate the digital world without fear or friction. Human-centric security is part of our DNA, but human-centricity is also the backbone of our culture. We encourage big ideas and new ways of working that help us to make the online world a safer place for everyone.

We are looking for a UX Researcher with a qualitative focus to join our growing Research team at 1Password to support our continued learning and innovation on our products. We’re a team that’s excited to learn and experiment. We nurture a safe and creative environment where we can continuously grow and produce impactful work.

Ability to efficiently analyze qualitative and quantitative data using industry best practices.
Ability to not only present findings from UX Research in a clear, concise way to designers, developers, and team leads, but also drive actionable next steps and follow-throughs with key stakeholders.

Passion for building world-class accessible products and services that work for everyone and know how to deliver research that supports this.
