Vercel is seeking a backend-focused Software Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable, high-performance systems that power the agentic infrastructure platform. You'll work with JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, SQL and NoSQL databases, and AWS to develop solutions for user, group, and membership management while ensuring security and reliability.
Key responsibilities include:
- Designing and delivering secure, reliable, scalable services that exceed industry standards
- Collaborating with cross-functional teams on large-scale projects with complex dependencies
- Maintaining and operating services at high scale, participating in on-call rotations
- Implementing identity synchronization and lifecycle management using SCIM and related standards
- Working with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes) to build high-availability applications
- Building enterprise software using TypeScript, REST APIs, and JSON
You should have strong proficiency in TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js, with practical experience developing and improving Node.js applications. Deep knowledge of security architecture is essential—including LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, SSO, OAuth2, OpenID Connect, and web protocols (XML, SOAP, JSON, REST). Familiarity with access control models (RBAC, ABAC, ReBAC) and SQL experience are required. Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, especially in cross-team collaboration, are critical.
The role is fully remote for candidates outside commuting distance of Vercel's offices (SF, NY, London, Berlin). Those within commuting distance are expected for in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Vercel offers competitive compensation including equity, inclusive healthcare, mentorship, flexible time off, and a work-from-home budget.
