The autonomous stack for every app and agent. Backed by Accel, General Catalyst and Khosla.
About the role
The Scheduled Tasks team builds the platform primitives that let applications and agents run work now, later, or for a long time. We own Vercel Workflows, Queues, and Cron: the systems developers use to build long-running, event-driven, and scheduled applications.
What they're looking for
- You have 5+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems, developer platforms, or cloud infrastructure
- Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and open-source infrastructure or developer tools is a plus
- You are comfortable working across APIs, runtimes, storage, networking, and production operations
- You have experience with one or more of: job queues, schedulers, workflow orchestration, event-driven systems, state machines, stream processing, or durable execution
- You understand the tradeoffs behind delivery guarantees, retries, idempotency, concurrency, and fault tolerance—and can turn those tradeoffs into usable product primitives
- You write high-quality, well-tested code and enjoy solving complex technical problems

You will join a team working at the intersection of developer experience and distributed systems. Together, we are building and scaling the products that make it straightforward for developers to coordinate background work, move messages between services, and schedule work with confidence. You will collaborate closely with engineers across Vercel to make these powerful capabilities feel simple, composable, and native to the platform.
