About the Role:

We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead Vercel’s CDN and Edge Network—core infrastructure for fast, secure content delivery. The CDN powers everything from static cacheing to dynamic responses across our global edge. You'll drive performance and reliability, as well as define and productize security for Vercel’s CDN.

What You Will Do:

  • Advance caching at the edge: Evolve strategies for static and dynamic content delivery, reducing latency and server load
  • Build security as a product: Productize features like bot protection, custom firewall rules, and rate limiting for developers and platform teams
  • Own performance and reliability: Monitor the edge network, debug regressions, and drive improvements across the CDN
  • Support large customers: Ensure our edge platform scales with the needs of enterprise users and regulated industries

About You:

  • Strong CDN and edge expertise: You understand how content is cached and delivered globally, and what can go wrong
  • Security-focused mindset: You’ve worked on security or infra products and understand what’s needed to protect large-scale platforms
  • Product + revenue instincts: You know how to turn core capabilities into differentiated, monetizable features
  • Technical fluency: You were an engineer or technical PM—comfortable with protocols, headers, DNS, and certificates
  • Execution & Influence: You know how to earn trust and get things done
  • Quantitative background: A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field is preferred

Bonus Points:

  • Passion for Vercel & Frontend Ecosystem: You appreciate our mission, understand the needs of modern developers, and have opinions about where frontend technology is headed.

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.
