About Vercel:

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.

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.

  • 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 & Compensation:

  • 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.
