About Vercel

The autonomous stack for every app and agent. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and Khosla.

About the role

The next generation of software won’t just be used by people — it’ll be built and shipped by agents. Builds are where that happens, and they’re the beating heart of Vercel. Whether an idea starts in v0, in an agent, or in an engineer’s editor, every customer builds — and millions of builds flow through our systems every day.

What they're looking for

  • 3+ years of experience designing, building, and operating backend applications and distributed systems at scale
  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to navigate and improve complex systems
  • Strong proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and infrastructure as code (Terraform)
  • A track record of end-to-end ownership — from design and implementation through to long-term operation in production
  • Skilled at cross-team collaboration, able to influence priorities and drive alignment toward shared goals
  • Able to reason about technical direction and architectural tradeoffs, balancing long-term vision with pragmatic delivery
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.

The next generation of software won’t just be used by people — it’ll be built and shipped by agents. Builds are where that happens, and they’re the beating heart of Vercel. Whether an idea starts in v0, in an agent, or in an engineer’s editor, every customer builds — and millions of builds flow through our systems every day.

As an engineer on the Agentic Infrastructure team, you’ll take ownership of the systems that carry that work at scale. You won’t just contribute features — you’ll be responsible for the design, reliability, and evolution of the platform itself. You’ll make decisions that shape performance, define best practices, and ensure the workflows that Vercel, our customers, and their agents depend on are fast, resilient, and secure.
