Staff Cloud Security Engineer at Vercel

This role is ideal for a heavyweight security expert with at least 8 years of experience in cloud-native environments. You should be a builder at heart who is equally comfortable writing Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform/CDK) as you are performing deep-dive threat modeling. While the listing says "Mid-level," the requirements and compensation clearly target a seasoned professional capable of leading high-stakes security architecture for a massive developer platform. The standout feature is the exceptional compensation package, with a base salary reaching up to $336k plus equity. Vercel is a high-growth, remote-first engineering powerhouse, meaning you’ll work on cutting-edge tech (v0, Next.js) alongside top-tier talent. They provide a full home-office setup budget and a strong "just ship things" culture that prioritizes action over bureaucracy. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have mastered AWS/GCP security and can secure complex Kubernetes environments at scale. * Prefer "Secure by Default" automation over manual checklists and spreadsheet audits. * Can navigate the balance between strict security controls and high-velocity engineering workflows. * Are looking for a high-impact, fully remote role within a recognized leader in the web development space.
