Job summary

Vercel Inc. in London, UK is seeking a Software Engineer for its Persistence team to help scale compute infrastructure. You’ll work on the infrastructure that runs hundreds of instances across regions, writing Golang and using Terraform, with Nomad as the scheduler.

You’ll own reliability and performance of the compute platform, participate in on-call rotations, and partner with other teams to converge compute at Vercel. This role offers a hybrid model with London anchor days for those nearby.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, with Golang strongly preferred.
• Deep experience with virtual machines, file systems and Linux.
• Experience building and operating distributed systems at scale.
• Experience with schedulers/orchestrators for containers and workloads (Nomad, Kubernetes).
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

Responsibilities

• 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.
