Hey! Guillermo, CEO of Vercel here. Security is the absolute top priority at Vercel, and you should be seeing continued progress in that area in the coming weeks and months.

We're heavily investing in security all the way from the SDK and its supply chain[1] to platform, product and cloud.

We proudly use the best infrastructure and products available to help our customers scale without stress. AGA is quite incredible[2] and so is Cloudflare[3] and we are honored to be able to work closely with the purveyors of the finest infrastructure on the Internet!

Hey Guillermo,

Thanks for chiming in here. Unrelated, I saw that Vercel is ramping up hiring for designers. I’ve always worked in consumer-facing design spaces (banking, travel, etc.) and want to make a change toward something more dev-oriented like Vercel, but I worry being told that “I don’t have the right experience”. Does Vercel hire folks looking to change the industry they design for? I’m a senior IC in design systems, so the extent of what I design for devs is mainly documentation sites.


Absolutely. A core goal for us is to Lower the Barrier of Entry[1] to building for the Web.

Building a beautiful and fast Web experience needs to feel myspace-code-easy (or as Rich Harris puts it: it has to be fun!). I think ultimately that's what makes the Web win long term. It's open and accessible.

The best way to contribute to this mission is to come in with a fresh mindset, passion and big ambitions. Please reach out: https://vercel.com/careers
