About the Role:

We're looking for aSecurity 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.

  • 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

Bonus If You:

  • Experience leading Terraform migrations for IAM or identity infrastructure at scale
  • Background in SCIM, SAML, OIDC, and directory services (e.g., Google Workspace, Azure AD)
  • Contributions to internal developer platforms or security tooling
  • Experience at a developer tools, infrastructure, or SaaS company
  • Certifications such as Okta Certified Professional/Administrator, AWS Security Specialty, or CISSP

Benefits:

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
