The autonomous stack for every app and agent. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
v0 turns natural language into working, deployed applications. An agent writes code, executes it, and ships it on a user's behalf. That makes v0 one of the most interesting and highest-stakes security surfaces at Vercel: sandboxed code execution, multi-tenant isolation, permission boundaries between what a user asked for and what the agent actually did, and resistance to prompt injection and tool misuse.
What they're looking for
- Strong full-stack fundamentals: Comfortable in TypeScript, React, and Node, and able to work in the same codebase, PR flow, and velocity as the rest of the v0 team
- You influence through code, not just process: You'd rather fix the root cause in a PR than write a policy doc about it. You can be the security conscience of a fast-moving team without becoming its bottleneck
- Comfortable with ambiguity: v0's threat model is still being written. You're excited to define it rather than inherit a mature playbook
- Willing to build with v0, not just secure it: You're happy to actually go use v0 to build things and understand how our products work end to end, not just read the code from the outside
More about this role
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.

We're looking for a Senior (IC4) software engineer with a strong security background to sit fully embedded inside the v0 team, not as a rotating auditor who reviews designs and files tickets, but as a peer engineer who owns security end to end for everything v0 ships. That means finding and fixing vulnerabilities yourself, building security features directly into the product,...
