Description
About Vercel:
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.
About the Role:

In this role, you will design, implement, and maintain Observability products that meet high-quality standards and integrate seamlessly with the Vercel Platform. This role is based in London, UK.
If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
What You Will Do:
- Handle large-scale data ingestion, storage, and processing from distributed systems.
- Develop cutting-edge visualization tools to provide insights into application behavior and performance.

- Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code, ensuring platform reliability through thorough testing.

- Engage with the open-source community by contributing to projects and participating in discussions, supporting Vercel’s developer-focused mission.
- Collect feedback from developers and users to drive continuous innovation and improvement in the observability product area.
About You:
- You have at least 5+ years of relevant work experience.
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript/Go and experience with modern frontend development tools.
- Solid understanding of how to efficiently work with columnar databases, such as Clickhouse or Tinybird.
- Previous experience in processing large quantities of data, using messaging systems or streaming services at scale.
- Experience contributing to or participating in open source projects.
- Familiarity with frontend frameworks, performance profiling and optimization for web applications.
- A proactive and self-driven approach to problem-solving, with a passion for pushing the boundaries of frontend tooling.
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment.
Benefits:
- 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.

- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
