Security Software Engineer, IAM

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

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 our Senior Engineering Manager, Security Operations and will 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.

What You Will Do:

Own the full IAM strategy for both corporate and production environments - defining the roadmap, standards, and architecture end to end

Migrate Okta and all related IAM configuration to Terraform, driving infrastructure-as-code adoption and leveling up engineering teams in its use

Lead Vercel-on-Vercel and Vercel infrastructure cleanup initiatives, ensuring our internal systems reflect the same standards we sell to customers

Design and enforce least-privilege access controls across cloud, SaaS, and production infrastructure

Partner with platform and engineering teams to embed IAM best practices early in the design process

Build and manage MDM/MAM tooling to secure endpoint and mobile device access across the organization

Drive automation across provisioning, deprovisioning, and access review workflows

Serve as the IAM subject matter expert across Security, IT, and Engineering

About You:

7+ years of experience in identity, access management, or platform security engineering

Deep expertise with Okta - including SSO, MFA, lifecycle management, and API-driven automation

Proficient in Terraform and committed to managing IAM infrastructure as code

Experience designing IAM strategy at scale - across both corporate (IT/SaaS) and production (cloud infrastructure) environments

Hands-on experience with AWS or GCP IAM - service accounts, roles, workload identity federation

Background in MDM/MAM solutions (Jamf, Intune, or equivalent)

Strong collaborator who can drive alignment across Engineering, IT, Compliance, and Security teams

Comfortable operating with autonomy and owning decisions in a fast-moving environment
