Software Engineer, CDN at Vercel

This role is ideal for a seasoned backend or systems engineer with at least 5 years of experience who thrives on high-stakes infrastructure. You should have a deep understanding of how the internet works—specifically web servers and network protocols—and be comfortable writing high-performance code in **Go** to handle billions of requests. The compensation is highly competitive, starting at **$196k+**, and includes equity in a high-growth company central to the modern web ecosystem. You’ll have the flexibility of a "remote-first" culture unless you live near the SF or NYC hubs, where a hybrid schedule applies. This is a rare chance to work on the "Edge," building systems that serve petabytes of data for world-class brands. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Are a **Go (Golang)** expert who enjoys debugging complex systems in production. * Have experience scaling cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP) to handle massive traffic spikes and mitigate abuse. * Want to work on the "metal" of the web, focusing on TLS termination, routing, and caching. * Prefer a "just ship it" culture where you have the autonomy to experiment and challenge architectural norms.
