Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior Solutions Engineer to join our Professional Services team. This is not a traditional consulting role—you will embed directly with our most strategic enterprise customers to drive transformational outcomes across frontend modernization, platform migrations, and AI adoption. In this role, you will lead complex Next.js migrations, architect high-performance applications, and build production AI solutions—all within customer environments.

Job Responsibility:

Lead complex frontend migrations—modernizing legacy React, Vue, or other frameworks to Next.js
Conduct technical assessments and code audits
Architect and implement high-performance Next.js applications
Optimize Core Web Vitals and application performance
Build production AI solutions using Vercel's AI SDK and AI Cloud
Embed with strategic customers to build production applications
Drive enablement and knowledge transfer through workshops, pair programming, and documentation
Navigate complex enterprise environments
Participate in pre-sales activities
Contribute to our service evolution

Requirements:

5+ years of experience in software engineering with at least 2 years in a customer-facing technical role (consulting, solutions engineering, forward deployed engineering, or technical founder experience)
Expert-level TypeScript skills—this is your primary language
Deep expertise in Next.js, with a proven track record of architecting and delivering complex applications using App Router, Server Components, server-side rendering (SSR), static generation (SSG), incremental static regeneration (ISR), and edge functions
Demonstrated experience leading frontend migrations—modernizing legacy applications to Next.js
Mastery of React and its ecosystem, including advanced state management, performance optimization, and modern patterns
Production experience with LLMs and AI applications, including prompt engineering, agent development, and tool use patterns
High agency with comfort in ambiguity
Exceptional communication skills
Business acumen
Willingness to travel 25-40% to customer sites

Nice to have:

Have led large-scale migrations from legacy frameworks (Create React App, Gatsby, custom webpack setups) to Next.js in enterprise environments
Have expertise in performance optimization and Core Web Vitals
Have experience with Model Context Protocol (MCP), building MCP servers, or implementing complex tool-use patterns in production AI applications
Have led enterprise AI transformation initiatives
Have worked with micro-frontends, module federation, or multi-team frontend architectures
Have contributed to the Next.js, React, or AI SDK open-source projects
Have experience with enterprise deployment patterns including security reviews, compliance requirements, and multi-region architectures
Have a background in financial services, healthcare, retail/e-commerce, or media
Have spoken at conferences or published thought leadership on frontend architecture, migrations, or AI applications

What we offer:

Great compensation package and stock options
Inclusive Healthcare Package
Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events
Flexible Time Off - Flexible vacation policy with a recommended 4-weeks per year, and paid holidays
