## About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Platform team. You will build the observability systems that give Vercel visibility into how we build, ship, and operate our systems. Core Platform owns Vercel’s reliability, resilience, and engineering velocity. We’re looking for engineers to create observability for everything from cost attribution to deployment velocity, alongside the logs, metrics, and traces necessary to optimize how Vercel builds its systems.

## What they're looking for

- Proficient in TypeScript, with backend/infrastructure experience
- Hands-on experience with Go, Rust, or Zig in production systems
- Experience with distributed computing systems at scale
- Experience with cloud infrastructure, including object storage
- Familiarity with observability tooling and concepts (Datadog, Grafana, New Relic, Splunk, or CNCF-based stacks such as Prometheus-compatible backends)
