## 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.

- 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
