About the role
- We're looking for a Software Engineer to join the Vercel Agent team.
- Our mission is simple: deploying on Vercel should feel like adding a seasoned infrastructure engineer to your team.
- Two things we're most excited about: self-driving infrastructure, where 90% of what requires manual DevOps today gets handled automatically by the platform
Responsibilities
- Design and build agentic systems that autonomously investigate, diagnose, and remediate production issues - from 500 errors and build failures to performance regressions and security anomalies.
- Build the skills and tool integrations that give the agent deep knowledge of the Vercel platform, such as deployments, functions, logs, metrics, DNS, and the full lifecycle of a web application.
- Develop the infrastructure for dynamic skill injection, so the agent acquires new capabilities at runtime rather than through redeployment, routing the right logic to the right context at the right time.
- Collaborate with other engineers on prompt engineering, model evaluation, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines that ground the agent in accurate, up-to-date knowledge.
- Have experience building agentic systems, AI tooling, or automation frameworks, and especially agents in production.
Requirements
- 7+ years of full-time software engineering experience, with strong TypeScript proficiency.
- Engineers with deep Python experience who are excited to work in TypeScript are also a great fit.
- Demonstrated ability to ship independently, influence architecture, and set direction on a small, high-impact team.
Nice to have
- You understand the difference between a demo and a system that works reliably at scale.
- Are familiar with LLM APIs (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.), prompt engineering, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
- Have worked with Vercel, Next.js, or the modern web deployment ecosystem.
- Have experience with sandboxed execution environments, container orchestration, or secure multi-tenant systems.
Compensation
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
Company info
- deploying on Vercel should feel like adding a seasoned infrastructure engineer to your team.
- The Vercel Agent investigates incidents before you see them, fixes failing builds, reviews code with deep production context, and answers questions about your running app with the authority of someone who has read the logs.
- Full-stack capability with an understanding of infrastructure, CI/CD, observability, and how large-scale web applications operate. The agent needs to reason about the same systems our customers use every day, you should too.
Visa & Work Authorization
