Description
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 are looking for an IT Systems Engineer to build and secure the identity and access management (IAM) and mobile device management (MDM) systems for employees who build agents and internal tools every day. You will design access and device policies that let them ship quickly without exposing company data, and automate the work with scripts, API integrations, and AI tooling alongside our IT and Security engineers. This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, New York City, or Austin, with three days a week in the office.
What you’ll do:
- Configure Okta, including application integrations, single sign-on (SSO), multi-factor authentication (MFA), groups, access policies, and automated provisioning
- Build onboarding, role-change, and offboarding automation that keeps employee access current
- Configure and maintain MDM for device enrollment, software deployment, patching, encryption, and compliance controls
- Build scripts, API integrations, and automation across Okta, MDM, Google Workspace, Slack, and IT service management systems, using AI to write and troubleshoot code and reviewing its output before it ships
- Partner with Security on least-privilege access that lets employees connect agents and internal tools to company systems safely, along with device security standards and access reviews, and serve as the escalation point for complex identity and device issues
What you need:
- 7+ years of hands-on IT systems engineering experience, with deep expertise in either IAM or MDM and working knowledge of the other
- Administered Okta and integrated applications using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), OpenID Connect (OIDC), and System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM)
- Configured and operated an MDM platform such as Jamf, Kandji/Iru, or Intune
- Wrote automation in Python or Bash against APIs, and used AI to build and troubleshoot it, reviewing generated code before deploying
Bonus if you:
- Managed Okta or other IT systems as code with Terraform, including version-controlled configurations, code review, and configuration drift management
- Supported AWS identity and access configurations
- Built or hosted a project on Vercel
Benefits:
- Competitive salary and meaningful equity
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage
- Generous paid time off and parental leave
- Professional development stipend
- Daily lunch and commuter benefits (SF office)
Compensation & 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.

About this role
Vercel is looking for an IT Systems Engineer to own identity and access management and mobile device management across the company's infrastructure. You'll configure and improve Okta for SSO, MFA, and provisioning workflows; manage MDM platforms like Jamf or Kandji; and build automation across these systems and integrations with Google Workspace, Slack, and AWS. The role emphasizes hands-on technical work—scripting, API integrations, and expanding IT systems as code using Terraform—while partnering closely with Security to enforce least-privilege access and device compliance standards.
This is a strong fit if you have deep expertise in either IAM or MDM, hands-on experience administering Okta and an MDM platform, and solid scripting skills in Python or Bash. You should be comfortable troubleshooting across identity, devices, and applications, and experienced using AI tools to accelerate your work while maintaining sound judgment about what you deploy. The role expects you to take ownership end-to-end, from identifying problems through implementation and documentation, and to collaborate effectively across teams to simplify systems and reduce technical debt.
The position is full-time, hybrid with anchor days Monday, Tuesday, and Friday at one of three offices (San Francisco, New York, or Austin). Salary ranges from $180,000 to $288,000 depending on location and experience, with equity, comprehensive health coverage, paid time off, professional development support, and equipment provided.
