Software Engineer, Compute

Role Overview

• Manage and improve our fleet of clusters, running 100s of instances deployed in every region where our customers deploy and run their code.
• Write Golang on a daily basis and use Terraform to provision infrastructure; you'll get to know Nomad as our scheduler for managing workloads.
• Rethink the primitives of our infrastructure — working with virtual filesystems, Linux primitives, and low-level virtualisation.
• Own the reliability and performance of our compute platform, including on-call coverage for a team where every improvement has outsized impact at scale.
• Collaborate across teams to drive the convergence of all compute at Vercel.

Requirements

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with Golang strongly preferred.
• Deep experience with virtual machines, file systems and Linux — you like knowing how things work under the hood (tcpdump, strace, and iptables are familiar tools).
• Experience building and operating distributed systems at scale; you design for performance and reliability.
• Experience with schedulers and orchestrators for managing containers and non-containerised workloads (e.g. Nomad, Kubernetes).
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, with a genuine enthusiasm for digging into problems that don't have obvious solutions.
