Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a systems-level engineer with at least 5 years of experience who thrives at the intersection of infrastructure and software. You should have deep expertise in **Golang** and a strong background in distributed systems, specifically focusing on how code executes at scale within containers and virtual machines. If you enjoy "under the hood" debugging using tools like `strace` or `tcpdump`, this is your lane.
The compensation is highly competitive ($180k - $280k) and includes equity. While the role is listed as remote-friendly, Vercel uses a "hybrid-if-local" model near major hubs (SF, NY, London, Berlin). You’ll be working on core infrastructure that powers products like Fluid Compute, meaning your optimizations directly impact millions of developers and global-scale traffic.
**You might be a good fit if you...**
* Are an expert in **Golang** and have a "performance-first" mindset for backend systems.
* Have hands-on experience with **Nomad**, Terraform, and managing large-scale Linux fleets.
* Deeply understand networking stack internals, iptables, and container orchestration.
* Want to build the primitives that run untrusted code securely and efficiently at the edge.
