Overview
Join Vercel as a Software Engineer to build 'eve', a framework for AI agents. Contribute to core features, integrations, and developer experience for next-gen applications. 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
- •Design and ship core eve framework features — the file-system conventions, compiler, and runtime that turn an agent directory into a durable, production-ready agent on Vercel.
- •Build and maintain integrations across eve's channel layer (Slack, Web Chat, WhatsApp, API, Cron, and more) and connections layer (Vercel Connect / MCP endpoints).
- •Collaborate with the AI SDK, Workflows, and Sandbox teams to ensure eve's primitives compose seamlessly on the Vercel platform.
- •Drive DX quality — CLI ergonomics, error messages, docs, and examples — so TypeScript/Next.js developers can ship their first agent in minutes.
- •Contribute to eve's evaluation and observability story: test suites, scoring rubrics, and deployment-time evals that make agents production-safe.
- •Partner with early customers and internal teams to gather feedback, diagnose agent reliability issues, and iterate rapidly.
Conditions
The New York, NY base pay range for this role is $208,000-$312,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location.

About you
- •5+ years of production TypeScript/JavaScript experience; comfortable owning complex, stateful systems end to end.
- •Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts — durable execution, checkpointing, async workflows, and failure recovery.
- •Experience building or operating developer tooling, frameworks, or SDKs used by external developers.
- •Familiarity with LLM APIs and agent orchestration patterns (tool calling, multi-agent delegation, human-in-the-loop flows).
- •Track record of shipping high-quality open-source or customer-facing APIs and caring deeply about API design.
