Engineering Manager, CDN at Vercel

This role is ideal for a seasoned engineering leader with a heavy background in high-throughput, low-latency infrastructure. You should have at least 8 years of experience in large-scale distributed systems and at least 3 years in management. The team is looking for someone who speaks the language of HTTP, TLS, and caching strategies, but prioritizes people leadership, roadmap alignment, and operational excellence over individual coding. The compensation is highly competitive, reaching up to $336k (location-dependent) plus equity. The role offers excellent flexibility with a remote-first approach and a WFH budget. You’ll be managing a "tier zero" service for one of the most influential companies in the modern web ecosystem, offering massive scale and the opportunity to influence the performance of millions of sites. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have deep technical expertise in CDN architectures, proxies, or edge computing. * Excel at translating high-level business goals into actionable engineering roadmaps. * Have a track record of fostering high-autonomy teams through candid feedback and psychological safety. * Are comfortable navigating technical conflicts and making final decisions on complex infrastructure trade-offs.
