Software Engineer, CDN Security at Vercel

This role is ideal for a **mid-to-senior level backend or security engineer** with at least 3 years of experience defending against DDoS attacks and bot traffic. You should have a deep understanding of network protocols and distributed systems, specifically within high-traffic environments where low latency is critical. The compensation is highly competitive, reaching up to **$280,000 plus equity**. This is a high-impact position where you will protect millions of websites for major brands like PayPal and Under Armour. While the role is listed as remote-friendly, Vercel offers a "best of both worlds" approach with a WFH budget and office hubs in major cities if you prefer an in-person environment. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have hands-on experience mitigating denial of service attacks in production. * Are proficient in **Go** or **Lua** and comfortable working with web server internals. * Understand the nuances of HTTP/TCP and how to build scalable, low-latency firewalls. * Are passionate about bot detection and pushing the state of the art in web security.
