Software Engineer, Dashboard

For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.

We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.

Build and own core Dashboard infrastructure: the shell, navigation, layout system, and shared components that every product area builds within
Architect and implement the backend services and APIs that power the Dashboard, including personalization, notifications, and agent-powered experiences
Drive performance as a core feature. Profile, measure, and optimize aggressively. Every interaction should feel instant
Build agent-facing surfaces: the UI and API layers where agents surface errors, suggest fixes, update config, and keep users on best practices
Work closely with product area teams (Billing, CI/CD, Observability, etc.) to ensure their pages integrate cleanly into the Dashboard shell and follow shared patterns
Ship incrementally and continuously. This is a living product that improves every week

4+ years of experience as a software engineer building user-facing products. You're strong across the stack: modern frontend (React, TypeScript, Next.js) and backend (APIs, databases, services)
You've built products for developers or technical users. You understand the expectations of this audience and you hold yourself to the same bar
You think in systems. You naturally build reusable abstractions, composable components, and clean APIs rather than one-off solutions
You're comfortable with ambiguity. This is a new team building a new product direction. You can take a rough problem statement and turn it into shipped code
You use AI tools in your own development workflow and have opinions on how they should work
You ship fast without sacrificing quality. You bias toward iteration and production feedback over long planning cycles
You communicate clearly and collaborate well with Product, Design, and other engineering teams
Experience working on platform or horizontal teams where you built shared infrastructure that other teams depended on
Contributions to open source projects, especially in the React or Next.js ecosystem
