About the role
About Vercel: Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience. Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. About the Role: The next generation of software won’t just be used by people — it’ll be built and shipped by agents. Builds are where that happens, and they’re the beating heart of Vercel. Whether an idea starts in v0, in an agent, or in an engineer’s editor, every customer builds — and millions of builds flow through our systems every day. As an engineer on the Agentic Infrastructure team, you’ll take ownership of the systems that carry that work at scale. You won’t just contribute features — you’ll be responsible for the design, reliability, and evolution of the platform itself. You’ll make decisions that shape performance, define best practices, and ensure the workflows that Vercel, our customers, and their agents depend on are fast, resilient, and secure. This role blends product thinking with deep systems ownership. You’ll partner with teams across Vercel to build and operate the agentic infrastructure that determines how software actually ships. We’re looking for engineers who want to own high-scale systems end-to-end, thrive on improving the developer/agent experience, and are driven to have a lasting impact on how modern software gets built and delivered. What You Will Do: • Own and evolve the infrastructure that powers Vercel’s build and deployment lifecycle — from handling webhooks to designing resilient database schemas and building scalable APIs. • Design and operate high-performance microservices that process millions of builds daily, ensuring speed, reliability, and developer delight. • Lead projects end-to-end: from identifying opportunities to defining technical direction and delivering improvements in performance, reliability, and developer experience. • Collaborate across teams to align infrastructure with company-wide goals and ensure seamless developer workflows. • Shape the long-term vision of agentic infrastructure at Vercel by setting standards for scalability, reliability, and developer productivity. • Participate in the on-call rotation, taking responsibility for the reliability of critical systems. • Contribute to the open-source community, representing Vercel’s commitment to advancing developer tools globally. • Write clean, efficient, tested, and well-documented code that others can build upon confidently. About You: • 3+ years of experience designing, building, and operating backend applications and distributed systems at scale. • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to navigate and improve complex systems. • Strong proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and infrastructure as code (Terraform) • A track record of end-to-end ownership — from design and implementation through to long-term operation in production. • Skilled at cross-team collaboration, able to influence priorities and drive alignment toward shared goals. • Able to reason about technical direction and architectural tradeoffs, balancing long-term vision with pragmatic delivery. • Invested in the people around you — through mentorship, code review, or simply raising the bar on how the team builds. • Curious, eager to learn, and motivated to push the boundaries of how modern software gets built and shipped. Bonus If You: • Are familiar with React or Next.js • Have experience with DynamoDB • Have worked to develop a CI/CD platform or internal developer platform used b
