About the role

Original posting from Vercel via Greenhouse

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

About the Role

Reporting to the Manager, Customer Support Engineering, you’ll resolve customer concerns, create and improve internal tooling, and engineer solutions that help Vercel customers get the most out of the platform. We’re seeking a deeply technical engineer with relevant support experience who can specialize in multiple core domains while partnering across teams to drive great outcomes.

You’re an excellent communicator who earns customer trust, understands complex systems quickly, and enjoys digging deep to find and resolve root causes. You’re comfortable participating in an occasional weekend or holiday on-call rotation (scheduled in advance) as part of our global coverage model.

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.
