About Vercel:

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.

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 (AI Enablement, CI/CD, CDN, Compute, or the Vercel Ecosystem) 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. Currently, we are looking for candidates who reside in Central or Eastern time zones.

What You Will Do:

  • Assist Customer Success Managers with Enterprise requests and escalations.

About You:

  • You lead by example and provide feedback to mentor other members of the team.

  • You have hands-on experience using Vercel as a platform.

  • You have modern development and architecture experience in the AI or web space (e.g., building LLM-powered apps, web services, or production web applications) and can explain these concepts to others.

  • You have prior customer support experience in a technical role: troubleshooting customer cases, writing clear solutions, and proactively problem-solving.

  • You enjoy engineering solutions to resolve root causes of recurring problems.

  • Subject Matter Expertise in one or more of the following areas:

    • CI/CD

      • Build pipelines and automated testing for modern web apps

      • Observability (logs, metrics, tracing)

      • Data layer integration (serverless Postgres, KV/Redis, object storage)

      • Configuration/secrets management and environment promotion strategies

  • You have strong written and verbal communication; able to explain complex systems clearly.

  • You are comfortable working with a fully remote, globally distributed team.

  • You have a passion for delivering a customer experience second to none.
