- **Experience:** Expert
- **Salary:** $208,000.0 - $312,000.0
- **Contract:** Permanent contract

## About the Role

* You have 7+ years of full-time software engineering experience and strong TypeScript proficiency.
 * You are comfortable working across product surfaces and system boundaries, from conversational UI and interactive data experiences to APIs, queues, databases, permissions, and production infrastructure.
 * You care about the quality of AI interactions: context selection, tool use, memory, latency, generated interfaces, uncertainty, and how the system communicates progress and asks for help.
 * You have a track record of openness and adaptability. You have moved into unfamiliar technologies, domains, or responsibilities and learned quickly. This space is changing too quickly for fixed expertise to matter more than curiosity and judgment.
 * Experience with using and building agent harnesses (OpenClaw, Hermes, Pi, etc) is a plus but not required

## Description

* Design and build V as the primary agentic interface for getting work done across Vercel, from answering questions and analyzing data to executing complex, multi-system workflows.
 * Build the agent architecture that allows V to understand intent, plan work, select the right skills and tools, recover from failures, and complete long-running tasks reliably.
 * Ship polished experiences across Slack, web, and other surfaces, combining natural-language interaction with rich, interactive interfaces when chat alone is not enough.
 * Develop evaluation, observability, and feedback systems that measure whether V's answers and actions are accurate, useful, efficient, and trustworthy.
 * Establish primitives that make it easy for teams across Vercel to contribute new capabilities without creating fragmented agents or inconsistent user experiences.
 * Help define what it means for a company to be operated through an agent and turn what we learn building V into ideas and infrastructure that can eventually benefit Vercel's customers.
