Every single one is powered by our own compute infrastructure . Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Manage and improve our fleet of clusters, running 100s of instances deployed in every region where our customers deploy and run their code
  • Write Golang on a daily basis and use Terraform to provision infrastructure, you'll get to know Nomad as our scheduler for managing workloads
  • Rethink the primitives of our infrastructure — working with virtual filesystems, Linux primitives, and low-level virtualisation

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.
