> Full Stack Engineer rearchitecting Vercel's Dashboard into a personalized, agent-powered control plane for developers. Builds fast UI, backend services, APIs, and performance optimizations. Requires 4+ years experience with React, TypeScript, Next.js.
## Job Description
## What You Will Do
- 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

## About You
- **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

## Bonus
- 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

## Compensation
San Francisco, CA base pay range: **$196,000-$294,000**. Actual salary based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Total compensation may include benefits, equity, and bonus.
