Software Engineer, Deployment Infrastructure at Vercel

This role is ideal for a high-level backend or infrastructure engineer with at least 6 years of experience who thrives on building "the plumbing" for other developers. You should have deep expertise in TypeScript and AWS, specifically for high-scale distributed systems that process millions of events. While labeled "Mid-level" in some contexts, the 6+ year requirement and "Senior" description suggest they are looking for someone with significant production battle scars. The compensation is highly competitive ($180k–$260k plus equity) for a role that offers substantial industry influence. You’ll be working at the center of the modern web ecosystem, contributing to tools used by brands like Under Armour and Netflix. Although the role is hybrid in SF or NYC, you get a WFH budget and the opportunity to influence open-source communities. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have scaled massive backend systems using TypeScript, AWS, and Terraform. * Are passionate about CI/CD pipelines, build systems, or monorepo optimization. * Enjoy "owning the pager" for critical infrastructure—you take pride in reliability. * Want to transition from just using developer tools to building the platform that powers them globally.
