Job description

About Vercel:

Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and Al SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the Al-native web.

Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you’re building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

About the Role:

This team is building a platform that powers all of compute at Vercel. That means we provide all the primitives to run builds, serverless functions, middleware, edge functions, secure compute and now sandboxes too.

What You Will Do:

  • Manage our fleet of clusters, running 100’s of instances, deployed in every region where our customers deploy and run their code.
  • You will be writing Golang on a daily basis, while terraform will be your go-to tool when it comes to provisioning the needed infra. You will get to know the ins and outs of Nomad as it’s our current choice for scheduling the workloads.
  • The platform you will be building provides all the primitives to run all untrusted code from our customers: even a 1% performance improvement has massive repercussions across the board.
  • Working collaboratively with cross-team and cross-functional stakeholders, you will participate in the conception and implementation of new platform features.
  • Other examples of the work you will be carrying out:
    • Fluid Compute
    • Active CPU Pricing

About You:

  • You have 5+ years of software engineering experience, Golang preferred.
  • You have extended experience with Containers, Virtual Machines, Linux, and like digging deep to know how these things work under the hood (tcpdump , strace and iptables are your best friends).
  • You design systems that improve performance or increase reliability. Or both!
  • You have built and operated distributed systems at scale.
  • You have experience with schedulers and orchestrators for managing containers and non-containerized applications such as Nomad

Benefits:

  • Great 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

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $180,000-$280,000.  This salary range is an estimate. Actual salary will be based on job related skills, experience and location. Pay ranges outside San Francisco may be  adjusted based on employee location.  The total compensation package also includes benefits and equity-based compensation. Your recruiter can share more about the specific pay range for your location during the hiring process.

Vercel is committed to fostering and empowering an inclusive community within our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Vercel encourages everyone to apply for our available positions, even if they don’t necessarily check every box on the job description.
