Sample interview questions
How would you design Jira governance that allows teams to move quickly without creating configuration sprawl?

I would establish clear global standards for project creation, naming, issue types, fields, workflows, and permission models, while defining a lightweight intake and review process for exceptions. I would use reusable templates and shared schemes wherever practical, document decision criteria, and review adoption and configuration drift regularly with a cross-functional governance group.

Describe an example of a complex Jira automation you would build and how you would make it reliable.

I would build automations with explicit triggers, narrowly scoped conditions, clear ownership, audit logging, and safeguards against loops or duplicate updates. For example, an automation could validate required metadata at workflow transitions, route exceptions to the correct owners, synchronize approved fields with an integrated system, and notify teams only when human action is needed.

How would you approach an integration between Jira and an identity provider or CI/CD platform?

I would begin by clarifying the business process, data ownership, security requirements, failure modes, and desired user experience. I would then assess native capabilities versus API or webhook-based integration, apply least-privilege access controls, test in a sandbox, document data flows and support procedures, and monitor the integration after release.

What steps would you take to assess a third-party Atlassian Marketplace app?

I would evaluate the app’s business value, vendor reputation, security posture, permissions, data handling, compliance fit, support model, performance impact, licensing, and exit plan. I would test it in a controlled environment, obtain appropriate stakeholder approvals, define an owner and review cadence, and maintain an inventory of installed apps and their access.

How would you explain a restrictive permissions change to both an engineering leader and a legal stakeholder?

For engineering, I would focus on how the change protects delivery data while preserving the access needed for day-to-day work, including any practical alternatives. For legal, I would explain the control objective, access boundaries, auditability, retention implications, and how the design supports compliance; in both cases, I would use clear documentation and invite feedback before implementation.

We innovated the market-leading enterprise password manager and pioneered Unified Access Management, a new cybersecurity category built for the way people and AI agents work today. As one of the most loved brands in cybersecurity, we take a human-centric approach in everything from product strategy to user experience. Over 180,000 businesses, from Fortune 100 leaders to the world’s most innovative AI companies, trust 1Password to help their teams securely adopt the SaaS and AI tools they need to do their best work.

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.

We’re looking for a Senior Atlassian Administrator to join our Enterprise Tools team. This role owns Jira and Statuspage today, with the Atlassian platform growing as 1Password does. You’ll be responsible for the architecture, configuration, workflows, governance, and day-to-day health of these tools across 1Password’s engineering and business orgs. You bring an AI builder mentality to the work, using the right tools to help you move faster, solve problems earlier, and build things that last.

This is the kind of role where you’re not just maintaining a system. You’re shaping how people at 1Password work every day.

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:

  • 6+ years of hands-on Jira administration experience in a large-scale enterprise environment.

  • Deep experience managing Atlassian Cloud Enterprise ecosystem, including an understanding of cloud architecture, product organizations and sandbox environments.

  • Deep expertise in Jira configuration: workflows, issue type schemes, permission schemes, notification schemes, custom fields, screens, and components.

  • Proven experience designing and governing Jira at scale, building standards for how teams use the platform.

  • Strong Jira Automation skills. You can build complex automation rules, maintain them, and explain the trade-offs.

  • Solid understanding of Jira REST API’s, webhooks, and basic scripting (e.g., python, javascript, groovy) for advanced integrations.

  • Experience with Statuspage administration. Confluence and Jira Service Management experience is a plus.

  • Excellent communication skills. You can explain a workflow decision to an engineering lead and a permissions change to a legal team, without using different brains for each.

  • Experience aligning Atlassian configuration with corporate compliance and audit standards.

  • Experience with vetting, implementing, and governing third-party marketplace apps (e.g., Scriptrunner, structure tools, advanced reporting)

  • Familiarity with IT Service Management (ITSM) principles.

  • A bias toward simplicity and sustainability. You build configurations that teammates can understand, maintain, and hand off.

  • A profound respect for security and privacy. You think about access controls before someone asks you to.

What you can expect:

  • Champion the strategy for clean data architecture and own the architecture, configuration, and governance of 1Password’s Atlassian platform, starting with Jira and Statuspage.

  • Participate in the company’s Jira Council, a cross-functional governance group that keeps the platform aligned with organizational needs. You’ll triage requests, assemble the right stakeholders, and drive decisions that balance platform integrity with how the business is evolving.

  • Partner with engineering, product, IT, and security teams to understand how they work and build Atlassian platform solutions that fit the way people operate.

  • Design and enforce Atlassian platform governance standards: project creation policies, workflow standards, naming conventions, field usage, and permission models.

  • Build and maintain Jira automations to reduce manual work and improve data quality across the platform.

  • Lead Atlassian tool onboarding for new teams and programs. Create training materials, run enablement sessions, and be the subject matter expert people trust to point them in the right direction.

  • Own the Atlassian vendor relationship and help shape the platform roadmap as the suite expands.

  • Identify technical debt, configuration drift, and process gaps. Build a backlog, prioritize it, and work through it.

  • Partner with others in IT on integrations between Atlassian tools and other enterprise systems (e.g., Slack, Identity Providers, CI/CD pipelines, or CRM tools).

  • Evaluate, manage, and audit third-party apps and plugins to ensure platform stability, performance, and security compliance.

  • Document configurations, workflows, and decisions so the platform is maintainable by the broader team.

  • Keep security and privacy front of mind across every configuration decision you make.
