Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Vercel as an employer.

What you need

  • 5+ years of relevant work experience
  • Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript/Go
  • Experience with modern frontend development tools
  • Solid understanding of columnar databases like Clickhouse or Tinybird
  • Experience processing large quantities of data using messaging systems or streaming services
  • Experience contributing to or participating in open source projects

What you get

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package
  • Mentorship and opportunities to attend events for networking and skill building
  • Flexible Time Off
  • Gear and WFH budget provided

Worth weighing

  • Role is based in NYC with in-office anchor days; remote work is available for those outside commuting distance
  • Focus on observability products may limit exposure to other areas of software engineering
  • No specific mention of technologies beyond JavaScript/TypeScript/Go and columnar databases, which may imply a narrower tech stack
