Forward-Deployed Engineer  at Vercel

This role is ideal for a high-agency, senior-level Engineer who enjoys the intersection of deep technical execution and strategic consulting. Vercel is looking for a TypeScript and Next.js expert who isn't afraid to go "hands-on-keyboard" within complex enterprise environments to lead migrations, conduct performance audits, and architect AI-driven workflows. The compensation is highly competitive ($137k–$207k base plus equity), and the position offers the rare chance to influence the product roadmap of industry-standard tools like the AI SDK and Next.js. While remote-first, this is a high-travel role (25–40%), making it perfect for someone who thrives on building face-to-face relationships and seeing their code solve real-world business problems in production. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have 5+ years of experience and expert-level mastery of Next.js (App Router, ISR, RSCs). * Enjoy traveling to customer sites to lead workshops and technical discovery sessions. * Have experience building production AI applications using LLMs and agentic workflows. * Are comfortable navigating the ambiguity and technical debt of large enterprise codebases.
