Software Engineer, Next.JS
Vercel is seeking a Software Engineer for the Next.js team to work on the open source framework that powers millions of applications. This role involves working across framework internals, rendering, caching, and developer tooling, requiring strong React expertise and a passion for open source developer infrastructure.
The Next.js team builds the open source framework that powers millions of applications and shapes how developers build for the web. Our work sits at the intersection of React, framework architecture, developer experience, infrastructure, performance, and production reliability.
We are looking for engineers who are excited to work deeply on open source developer infrastructure. You do not need to be a Next.js expert. You do need strong React expertise, high independence, good product judgment, and the ability to investigate complex technical problems from first principles.
This role is a strong fit for someone with a background in framework development, developer tooling, or product infrastructure: someone comfortable moving across the stack, working in public, and turning ambiguous problems into clear technical direction.
