About the role
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.

Stay ahead of cloud security trends and adopt cutting-edge technologies to enhance platform resilience.
Conduct threat modeling, risk analysis, and mitigation planning for critical systems.
Drive improvements in monitoring, detection, and incident response at the platform level.
Build, deploy and maintain relevant tooling.

8+ years of experience in infrastructure or platform security roles.
Deep understanding of secure cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP), identity and access management, and system hardening.
Proficient with tools like Terraform, CDK, Kubernetes, and CI/CD security.
