Top Engineering Jobs in San Francisco, CA

Own and evolve Vercel’s agentic infrastructure and build/deployment systems at scale. Design high-performance microservices, scalable APIs, resilient database schemas, and reliable workflows processing millions of builds daily. Lead projects from technical direction through production operation, improve performance and developer experience, collaborate cross-functionally, participate in on-call rotation, contribute to open source, and establish standards for scalability and reliability.

Build high-scale internal observability systems covering metrics, logs, traces, cost attribution, chargeback, compliance, and auditing. Partner with backend and platform teams to instrument services, evaluate observability infrastructure, and scale systems for Vercel’s production traffic. The role requires TypeScript, production experience with Go, Rust, or Zig, distributed systems expertise, cloud infrastructure knowledge, and familiarity with observability tooling.

Build and operate high-scale CDN serving and caching services for ISR, PPR, image optimization, and other content. Work across Go, Lua, and TypeScript; execute projects from implementation through progressive rollout and production validation. Develop dashboards, metrics, alerts, logs, and end-to-end tests; participate in on-call and incident follow-ups. Collaborate with Next.js and CI/CD teams while improving globally distributed systems and performance.

Work with Vercel’s engineering team on end-to-end projects, including scoping, building, shipping, reviewing production code, debugging systems, and communicating progress.
