Overview
Join Vercel as a Software Engineer on the Persistence team, focusing on infrastructure for compute platforms. Work with Golang and Terraform to enhance performance and reliability for developers worldwide. About Vercel: Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next. For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience. Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents. We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.
What you will do
- •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.
- •Own the reliability and performance of our compute platform, including on-call coverage for a team where every improvement has outsized impact at scale.
- •Collaborate across teams to drive the convergence of all compute at Vercel.
Benefits
- •Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- •Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- •Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- •Flexible Time Off.
- •We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
About you
- •5+ years of software engineering experience, with Golang strongly preferred.
- •Deep experience with virtual machines, file systems and Linux — you like knowing how things work under the hood (tcpdump, strace, and iptables are familiar tools).
- •Experience building and operating distributed systems at scale; you design for performance and reliability.
- •Experience with schedulers and orchestrators for managing containers and non-containerised workloads (e.g. Nomad, Kubernetes).
- •Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a genuine enthusiasm for digging into problems that don't have obvious solutions.
Bonus if you
- •Have worked on low-level virtualisation or sandbox execution environments.
- •Have product engineering experience and care about the developer-facing impact of infrastructure decisions.
- •Have experience with on-call operations for large-scale distributed systems.
