Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.
We’re looking for a Software Engineer to join the Vercel Agent team. Our mission is simple: deploying on Vercel should feel like adding a seasoned infrastructure engineer to your team. The Vercel Agent investigates incidents before you see them, fixes failing builds, reviews code with deep production context, and answers questions about your running app with the authority of someone who has read the logs.
Today, this work spans multiple shipped products: automated code review on every PR, AI-driven investigation of production anomalies, an intelligent support agent that resolves the majority of customer issues without human intervention, and conversational code generation. We’re now unifying these into a single agent that appears pervasively across surfaces (like the Vercel dashboard, Vercel CLI, Slack, and many more), and is capable of multi-step reasoning, code execution in sandboxed environments, and taking real actions on your behalf.
Two things we’re most excited about: self-driving infrastructure, where 90% of what requires manual DevOps today gets handled automatically by the platform; and framework-defined agents, where the agent is customized to each customer’s application, injecting the right skills when they’re needed rather than dumping generic best practices.
This is a small team with an outsized mandate. You’ll work directly with leadership and across product, design, and infrastructure teams to define what self-driving infrastructure looks like — then build it.
If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, even if the role is listed as remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $232,000 - $348,000 (Staff level IC and above). Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, level/experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
