Software Engineer, Deployment Infrastructure

About Vercel:

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.

About the Role:

CI/CD is the beating heart of Vercel. Whether you’re previewing a new idea from v0 or shipping the next great thing to production, every customer builds — and millions of builds flow through our systems every day.

As a Senior Infrastructure Engineer on the CI/CD team, you’ll take ownership of the systems that power these builds at scale. You won’t just contribute features — you’ll be responsible for the design, reliability, and evolution of the platform itself. You’ll make decisions that shape performance, define best practices, and ensure the developer workflows that Vercel and our customers depend on are fast, resilient, and secure.

This role blends product thinking with deep systems ownership. You’ll partner with teams across Vercel to build and operate infrastructure that directly impacts how developers ship software on the web.

We’re looking for engineers who want to own high-scale systems end-to-end, thrive on improving the developer experience, and are driven to have a lasting impact on how modern software gets built and delivered.

What You Will Do:

Own and evolve the infrastructure that powers Vercel’s build and deployment lifecycle — from handling webhooks to designing resilient database schemas and building scalable APIs.

Design and operate high-performance microservices that process millions of builds daily, ensuring speed, reliability, and developer delight.

Lead projects end-to-end: from identifying opportunities to defining technical direction and delivering improvements in performance, reliability, and developer experience.

Collaborate across teams to align infrastructure with company-wide goals and ensure seamless developer workflows.

Shape the long-term vision of CI/CD at Vercel by setting standards for scalability, reliability, and developer productivity.

Participate in the on-call rotation, taking responsibility for the reliability of critical systems.

Contribute to the open-source community, representing Vercel’s commitment to advancing developer tools globally.

Write clean, efficient, tested, and well-documented code that others can build upon confidently.
