About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Manage and improve our fleet of clusters, running 100s of instances deployed in every region where our customers deploy and run their code.
  • Write Golang on a daily basis and use Terraform to provision infrastructure; you'll get to know Nomad as our scheduler for managing workloads.
  • Rethink the primitives of our infrastructure — working with virtual filesystems, Linux primitives, and low-level virtualisation.
  • Own the reliability and performance of our compute platform, including on-call coverage for a team where every improvement has outsized impact at scale.
  • Collaborate across teams to drive the convergence of all compute at Vercel.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 5+ years of software engineering experience, with Golang strongly preferred.
  • Deep experience with virtual machines, file systems and Linux — you like knowing how things work under the hood (tcpdump, strace, and iptables are familiar tools).
  • Experience building and operating distributed systems at scale; you design for performance and reliability.
  • Experience with schedulers and orchestrators for managing containers and non-containerised workloads (e.g. Nomad, Kubernetes).
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a genuine enthusiasm for digging into problems that don't have obvious solutions.

Benefits

Comp & perks
  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
