What is a remote detection engineer?

Remote Detection Engineers are professionals who use technology and specialized tools to identify, monitor, and analyze data or threats from a distance, often in the realm of cybersecurity or environmental monitoring. They typically work with remote sensing equipment, network security systems, or other detection technologies to spot issues without needing to be physically present. Their role is critical for organizations that require constant vigilance over digital assets or remote environments. In cybersecurity, for example, they help detect and respond to threats to protect sensitive information. Remote Detection Engineers often collaborate with IT, security, or scientific teams depending on their industry.

What skills and qualifications are needed to be a remote detection engineer?

To thrive as a Remote Detection Engineer, you need a strong background in cybersecurity, threat detection, and incident response, often supported by a degree in computer science or a related field. Familiarity with SIEM platforms (like Splunk or ELK Stack), EDR tools, and certifications such as CISSP or GIAC are commonly required. Analytical thinking, problem-solving, and clear communication are critical soft skills for interpreting threats and collaborating with distributed teams. These skills ensure timely identification and mitigation of security threats, protecting organizational assets in a remote work environment.

How does a remote detection engineer collaborate with other cybersecurity teams to improve threat detection?

As a Remote Detection Engineer, you will regularly collaborate with Security Operations Center (SOC) analysts, incident responders, and threat intelligence teams. Your main role involves developing and fine-tuning detection logic, which often requires direct feedback from analysts handling alerts and incidents. You may participate in virtual meetings, conduct knowledge-sharing sessions, and provide technical guidance to ensure detections are actionable and relevant. This cross-team collaboration is essential for refining detection strategies, addressing false positives, and staying ahead of emerging threats.

Job description

About Vercel:
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what's next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you're building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you'll help define what comes next.
About the Role:
We are looking for a Security Engineer to join our Detection Response team. In this role, you will be responsible for managing Vercel's internal Corporate Security (CorpSec) posture, monitoring for security anomalies, building additional detections and visibility mechanisms, and ensuring the overall security of our internal systems. You will work closely with various teams to support audits, optimize visibility, and handle security incidents as they arise.
If you're based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
What You Will Do:
  • Monitor and respond to security alerts across multiple channels, including managed SOC escalations.
  • Maintain visibility and logging infrastructure, ensuring effective SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) operations.
  • Support security audits for PCI, SOC2, ISO, and other compliance frameworks, gathering evidence and collaborating with Engineering, GRC and the broader Security Division.
  • Proactively enhance security operations by developing and deploying new detections, security tooling and rigorously managing key security partners.
  • Work on security investigations, incidents, and urgent requests as they arise, as well as contributing to the build-out and continuous improvement of the on-call process to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
  • Continuously act as a guardian to enable the business to navigate risk-based changes.
  • Manage and enhance email security, endpoint security posture (EDR, configuration, and management), GitHub administration best practices, and internal security tooling to strengthen Vercel's overall security framework
About You:
  • Extensive experience in security operations, including SIEM management, security logging, and detection engineering.
  • Strong knowledge of AWS infrastructure and cloud security best practices.
  • Experience with GitHub administration and security controls.
  • Proficiency in SQL for data analysis and security investigations.
  • Hands-on experience with incident response, including detection, triage, and remediation.
  • Strong endpoint management skills across multiple operating systems (Mac, Windows, Linux).
  • Proficiency in at least one scripting language (Python, Bash) and one compiled language (Rust, Go).
  • Familiarity with serverless functions and API security is a plus.
Bonus If You:
  • Have experience working with managed SOC providers and security automation platforms.
  • Have worked in high-growth, cloud-native environments with a focus on scalability.
  • Are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with shifting priorities.
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.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $208,000-$312,000. This salary range is an estimate. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. The total compensation package also includes benefits and equity-based compensation. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range for your location during the hiring process.
Vercel is committed to fostering and empowering an inclusive community within our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law.
