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. 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 hiring an IT Systems Engineer to help build, secure, and improve the systems our employees rely on every day, with a particular focus on identity and access management (IAM) and mobile device management (MDM).
