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. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.

About You

• You have 8+ years of software engineering experience and remain highly effective as a hands-on engineer.
• You have led engineers or small technical teams, whether as a team lead, tech lead, staff engineer, engineering manager, or founder.
• You have recent experience writing, reviewing, and shipping production code. You are not looking to step away from engineering execution.
• You have strong technical judgment across React, framework architecture, or the systems behind a large-scale open source project, including rendering, caching, routing, build tooling, and runtime behavior.
• You can take a complex technical problem, form a clear point of view, write the critical code, and bring other engineers along with you.
• You know when to lead from the front and when to create space for someone else to take ownership.
• You have experience building products or infrastructure for developers and understand the quality, performance, stability, and usability standards this audience expects.
• You think in systems and can guide a team toward clean abstractions, consistent framework patterns, and technical decisions that hold up at scale.
• You are comfortable working through ambiguity and solving problems from first principles.
• You balance speed and quality. You favor incremental delivery and real-world feedback while recognizing when foundational infrastructure requires deeper investment.
• You communicate clearly in writing, facilitate productive technical debate, and make decisions when a path forward is needed.
• You use AI tools in your own workflow and have informed opinions about how agentic products should work for developers.

Bonus

• Experience maintaining or contributing to a major open source project, particularly in the React or Next.js ecosystem.
• Experience with compilers, bundlers, caching, rendering systems, or distributed infrastructure.
• Experience leading a small, senior engineering team while continuing to make substantial individual contributions.
• Experience forming a team or technical direction from zero to one.
• Familiarity with the Next.js codebase, though this is not required.
