About the Role

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.

For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.

We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.

About the Role:

We're looking for a Security Software Engineer to join our Security team and own Vercel's Identity and Access Management strategy - across both corporate and production environments. This is a high-impact, ownership-heavy role: you'll define IAM architecture from the ground up, migrate Okta fully behind Terraform, and serve as the subject matter expert who levels up the entire organization on IAM best practices.

You will report to the Head of Security and be located remotely within the United States. If you're based within commuting distance of our SF or NY offices, the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.
