About this role
Join Vercel as a Software Engineer on the Scheduled Tasks team, building platform capabilities for event-driven and scheduled applications. Collaborate with engineers to enhance developer experience and scale products.
Description
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.
Responsibilities
What You Will Do:
- Design, build, and operate platform capabilities across Workflows, Queues, and Cron.
- Help developers build applications and agents that coordinate background, event-driven, and scheduled work.
- Build APIs, SDKs, and tooling that make it easy to define, run, and manage durable work at scale.
- Work on the distributed-systems foundations behind scheduling, message delivery, execution, retries, and state.
- Partner with product, developer experience, and infrastructure teams to turn customer needs into clear, useful developer primitives.
- Raise the engineering bar through thoughtful design reviews, well-tested code, production ownership, and clear technical communication.
- Engage with developers and the open-source community to understand where background jobs, queues, and scheduling create friction—and use that feedback to improve the platform.
Requirements
About You:
- You have 5+ years of experience building and operating distributed systems, developer platforms, or cloud infrastructure.
- Experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and open-source infrastructure or developer tools is a plus.
- You are comfortable working across APIs, runtimes, storage, networking, and production operations.
- You have experience with one or more of: job queues, schedulers, workflow orchestration, event-driven systems, state machines, stream processing, or durable execution.
- You understand the tradeoffs behind delivery guarantees, retries, idempotency, concurrency, and fault tolerance—and can turn those tradeoffs into usable product primitives.
- You write high-quality, well-tested code and enjoy solving complex technical problems.
- You communicate clearly, collaborate well across teams, and help a growing team converge on strong technical decisions.
Conditions & Benefits
Benefits & Compensation:
- 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.
