Software Engineer, CI/CD

Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.

Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

CI/CD is the beating heart of Vercel. Whether you’re previewing a new idea from v0 or shipping the next great thing to production, every customer builds — and millions of builds flow through our systems every day.

As a Software Engineer on the CI/CD team, you'll work on the infrastructure that powers these builds at scale. You'll improve performance, enhance reliability, and evolve the systems that developers rely on to deliver fast, iterative workflows. This role blends product thinking with deep systems work — you'll be building features that serve both internal teams and Vercel's global developer community.

We're looking for engineers who are excited to work on high-scale systems, love improving the developer experience, and want to have a direct impact on how software gets shipped on the web.

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.
