The autonomous stack for every app and agent. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
The CDN Content team is responsible for serving all content that flows through Vercel's global CDN — static assets, optimized images, incrementally regenerated pages, partially prerendered shells, and everything in between — to billions of requests for millions of developers. Our focus is performance: ensuring content is served globally as fast as possible.
What they're looking for
- 2+ years of experience building and operating backend services in production
- Proficiency in at least one of Go, TypeScript/Node.js, or a comparable systems language, and enthusiasm for working across a polyglot stack
- Solid understanding of HTTP and web fundamentals — caching headers, request/response lifecycle, what a proxy does
- You write code you're willing to operate: tested, instrumented, and documented
- Curious about how large-scale systems work, and motivated to dig into unfamiliar code and production data to figure things out
- A collaborative teammate who communicates clearly, asks good questions, and follows through reliably

Our focus is performance: ensuring content is served globally as fast as possible. Caching plays a big role in making that happen, and the team operates a multi-tier caching architecture spanning in-process caches, regional cache services, and object storage across 20+ regions.
As a Software Engineer on the team, you'll take on well-scoped projects with real production impact and grow into owning larger pieces of the system. The work spans the serving path end to end, and everything ships through...
