At 1Password, we believe in equipping our Customer Experience teams with the most innovative tools, processes, and insights possible, supported by modern AI capabilities. We're looking for an Automation & AI Engineer to join our CX TechOps team who excels at designing, building, and optimizing workflows and systems across our post-sales tech stack. You will bring AI tools to bear where they create real leverage, while remaining grounded in the systems thinking and integration fundamentals that make solutions durable and scalable.

This is a hands-on, cross-functional role for someone who is excited by the opportunity to bring engineering rigor to CX Operations. You'll work closely with the post close teams (onboarding & implementation, customer success, customer engagement, support) and CX ops teams to turn ideas into scalable solutions that drive efficiency, improve customer outcomes, and elevate the post-sales experience.

This is a remote opportunity within Canada and the US.

Ideal Candidate

An engineer and systems thinker at heart with a strong grasp of post-sales and support workflows. They understand how to analyze a process, identify where friction lives, and design solutions that are simple, scalable, and maintainable, whether that means configuring an integration in Workato, writing a Python script, or deploying an AI agent in Dust. They're passionate about exploring how emerging technologies (especially MCPs and LLMs) can augment and transform the way CX teams serve customers but equally knows when not to depend on them, finding equal comfort in an iPaaS platform as they are in a code editor.

This person thrives at the intersection of customer problems, data, and code. They can read a business requirement, map a workflow, and build a solution using the right tool for the job, moving fast to prototype new ideas while thinking in systems: for scale, integration, or even failure. They're highly collaborative and able to communicate effectively across technical and non-technical teams, bridging the gap between CX strategy and technical execution.

Key responsibilities:

• Design and implement AI-powered solutions across CX tools like Zendesk, Salesforce, Rocketlane, Gong and Gainsight

• Gather requirements from CX Operations leaders and stakeholders, documenting current-state workflows and translating business needs into technical specifications across the support lifecycle

• Build and maintain integration AI solutions and workflows, including but not limited to system-to-system automations across Zendesk, Salesforce, and Gainsight

• Build tools and automations for ticket routing, case summarization, sentiment analysis, knowledge base surfacing, and proactive churn signals

• Develop internal APIs and scripts to streamline CX workflows and reduce manual effort for support teams

• Integrate third-party AI platforms, including AI tools like Dust and automation platforms like Workato into the CX tech stack

• Ensure systems are scalable, reliable, and well-documented

• Stay current on AI trends and recommend relevant CX and support applications
  

What we are looking for:

• 3-5 years of experience in CX Operations, support engineering, or automation development, with direct exposure to post-sales workflows

• Hands-on experience with an enterprise integration/iPaaS platform (Workato, Tines, Zapier, or similar) to build and maintain cross-system automations

• Ability to gather and document business requirements, map workflows, and communicate process changes to non-technical stakeholders

• Strong communicator who can translate complex technical solutions for non-technical CX stakeholders

• Proficiency in Python and SQL for building automations, working with APIs, and integrating AI tools

• Experience using LLM APIs (e.g. OpenAI) cloud platforms (e.g. AWS or GCP) and version control (Git) tools to solve business problems

• Comfortable working with APIs and automating across SaaS tools like Zendesk, Salesforce, Gong, and Gainsight

• Bonus: Experience deploying internal tools with platforms like Retool, Streamlit, Slack bots, or Dust

Preferred Qualifications:

• Understanding of CX data structures including ticketing systems, customer health scoring, and escalation logic

• Experience with process mapping, business requirements documentation, or workflow analysis (e.g. swim lane diagrams, RACI frameworks, process narratives)

• Experience with support workflow automation (e.g. macros, triggers, AI deflection)

• Relational data modelling experience in a data warehouse

• Past experience implementing AI use cases in a customer-facing or support environment

Remote work, the 1Password way: This position is remote and open to applicants based in North America. You'll collaborate closely with teams across time zones and work asynchronously via tools like Slack, Notion, and GitHub.

If you're excited to bring AI into real-world customer experience and support use cases and want to work where CX operations meets engineering, we'd love to hear from you.

USA-based roles only: The annual base salary for this role is between $123,000 USD and $178,000 USD, plus immediate participation in 1Password's benefits program (health, dental, 401k and many others), utilization of our generous paid time off, an equity grant and, where applicable, participation in our incentive programs.
