Job Description:

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.

Job Responsibility:

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

Requirements:

6+ years of experience designing, building, and operating backend applications and distributed systems at scale
Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript, with the ability to navigate and improve complex systems
Strong proficiency with cloud infrastructure (AWS) and infrastructure as code (Terraform)
A track record of end-to-end ownership — from design and implementation through to long-term operation in production
Skilled at cross-team collaboration, able to influence priorities and drive alignment toward shared goals
Comfortable setting direction and defining architectural standards that scale across teams, balancing long-term vision with pragmatic delivery
Experienced in mentoring and elevating those around you, fostering strong engineering practices
Curious, eager to learn, and motivated to push the boundaries of how modern software gets built and shipped

Nice to have:

Are familiar with React or Next.js
Have experience with DynamoDB
Have worked to develop a CI/CD platform or internal developer platform used by other engineers
Have experience contributing to, or participating in open-source projects
Have experience optimizing build systems for monorepos or polyrepo setups
Have experience with build caching, artifact storage, or dependency management at scale

What we offer:

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
