About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

What you need:

5+ years of relevant engineering experience

Built production web applications or frameworks with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

Hands-on experience with web fundamentals: HTML, CSS, HTTP, rendering models, and caching

Hands-on experience with build tools such as Webpack, Turbopack, Babel, or SWC
