The posting

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.

About the role

We are looking for a Software Engineer to join our Observability team. Vercel users rely on Observability to monitor and understand their applications’ health and behavior. In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain Observability products that meet high-quality standards and integrate seamlessly with the Vercel Platform. This role is based in NYC.

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. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.

What you'll do

  • Handle large-scale data ingestion, storage, and processing from distributed systems.
  • Develop cutting-edge visualization tools to provide insights into application behavior and performance.
  • Integrate observability features with popular frontend tools, frameworks, and build systems to enhance developer experience.
  • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, ensuring platform reliability through thorough testing.
  • Collaborate with product managers, designers, and infrastructure teams to solve challenges and deliver top-tier solutions.
  • Engage with the open-source community by contributing to projects and participating in discussions, supporting Vercel’s developer-focused mission.
  • Collect feedback from developers and users to drive continuous innovation and improvement in the observability product area.

What you need

  • You have at least 5+ years of relevant work experience.
  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript/Go and experience with modern frontend development tools.
  • Solid understanding of how to efficiently work with columnar databases, such as ClickHouse or Tinybird.
  • Previous experience in processing large quantities of data, using messaging systems or streaming services at scale.
  • Experience contributing to or participating in open source projects.
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks, performance profiling and optimization for web applications.
  • A proactive and self-driven approach to problem-solving, with a passion for pushing the boundaries of frontend tooling.
  • Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.

Benefits:

  • 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.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $208,000-$312,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, 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.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
