About Vercel:

About the Role:
As a webhost, millions of project builds flow through Vercel each day, and the flip side of the coin of being the best at what we do is keeping up with Trust & Safety issues.

- Review and write code along with the team.
- Participate in and manage the team’s on-call rotation.
- Reduce abuse, fraud, and other harms on Vercel.
About You:
- You have at least 4+ years of experience managing technical teams, or 6+ as team technical lead—in rapidly growing companies.
- You have applied experience building and maintaining scaled abuse detection and restriction/checkpoint systems in a professional setting.
- People tell you that you communicate well and you are comfortable with uncertainty.
- You are excited by nurturing engineers and building engineering teams.
- You are located in the SF Bay Area.
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.
