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:

Vercel is looking for engineers to help us build functional systems that improve product and customer experience. As a member of the Edge team, you will help to scale and improve our infrastructure, availability and reliability by working with our backend engineers and product team to identify problems, create tooling and automation.

Your role will be dynamic - you should be comfortable designing systems, writing code, and debugging systems in production. Our team orchestrates deploying, routing and serving for our customers through capabilities and tooling we maintain that leverage our own and other cloud providers' infrastructure for networking, TLS termination, routing, storage, caching and other novel edge services.

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF or NY), 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.

About You:

  • Intrigued about tackling the complex challenges serving petabytes of data and billions of requests to millions of people
  • A collaborative team player who believes in the power of strong teams to drive significant changes and innovations
  • Have at least 5 years of relevant experience
  • Have deep experience with how to make high performance systems scale in the cloud
  • Want to help protect the Vercel platform and our customers from abuse
  • Are keen to experiment, challenge norms and deliver secure and reliable systems that delight Vercel's users
  • Are knowledgeable and experienced with web servers, network protocols
  • Comfortable in Golang
  • Familiar with Cloud Services (e.g. AWS, Google Cloud, or others)
  • Experience with Terraform, Kubernetes, Lua, React and Next.js are nice-to-have!

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 $196,000-$294,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
