💰 $150M Series D on 2021-11

Description

• You will be part of a small but growing infrastructure team responsible for building and maintaining a platform to run compute workloads. The platform is currently powering all Vercel builds (1M+ builds per week in 2022), but we have more ambitious goals for it in 2024! • Working collaboratively with cross-team and cross-functional stakeholders, you will participate in the conception and implementation of new platform features • The platform you will be building runs all untrusted code from our customers: 1% performance improvements have massive repercussions across the board • Manage our fleet of clusters, running 100’s of instances, deployed in every region where our customers deploy and run their code • Build the most secure and performant networks to keep our customer's code safe • You will be writing Golang on a daily basis, while terraform will be your go-to tool when it comes to provisioning the needed infra

Requirements

• You have 5+ years of software engineering experience • You have extended experience with Containers, Virtual Machines, Linux, and like digging deep to know how these things work under the hood (tcpdump and strace are your best debugging friends) • You design systems that improve performance or increase reliability. Or both! • You have built and operated distributed systems at scale • Bonus points if you have experience with schedulers and orchestrators for managing containers and non-containerized applications such as Nomad, know how solutions like Deno subhosting work under the hood • You are willing to participate in our (rather quiet!) on-call rotation

Benefits

• Great compensation package and stock options • 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 - Flexible vacation policy with a recommended 4-weeks per year, and paid holidays • Remote Friendly - Work with teammates from different time zones across the globe • We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed
