About the Role

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.

What You Will Do

  • Own end-to-end implementations with enterprise customers, from kickoff through production, working through whatever obstacles come up along the way.
  • Understand customer pain points deeply and translate them into concrete product solutions, feeding signal back to engineering and product teams.
  • Build internal tools and processes that drive efficiency and scalability across the FDE function.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including GTM, product, and core engineering to deliver large-scale projects with cross-team dependencies.
  • Run on-site workshops, discovery sessions, and technical enablement with enterprise customers.
  • Maintain and operate solutions at high scale, ensuring the highest levels of security and reliability for customer deployments.
  • Implement identity synchronization and lifecycle management solutions using SCIM, SSO, SAML, and other enterprise standards.
  • Work with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, AWS CloudFormation, Kubernetes) to deliver scalable, high-availability applications.
  • Build and maintain high-quality software using TypeScript, Next.js, React, and REST APIs, including direct contributions to the v0 codebase.
  • Be a daily practitioner of AI-assisted development: v0, Cursor, Claude, Codex, and whatever comes next.

About You

Core qualifications:

  • Power user of AI coding tools. You use v0, Cursor, Claude, Codex, or equivalent daily and have a current, working understanding of the AI coding landscape: agents, MCP, context management, local vs. remote execution.
  • Proficient in Next.js, React, and TypeScript. You're comfortable working directly in a production codebase.
  • Experience in a GTM-adjacent engineering role, whether as a Forward Deployed Engineer, Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, or similar. You know how to navigate a sales cycle without losing your technical integrity.
  • Experience working directly with enterprise customers: running discovery, building trust, re-engaging at-risk accounts, and finding internal champions.
  • Willingness to travel to customer sites regularly.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to communicate complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Comfortable working autonomously and making decisions with minimal supervision in a fast-moving environment.

Bonus points:

  • Experience with enterprise integration work:
    • Accounts: SSO, account provisioning, RBAC configuration and implementation.
    • Relationship building: cultivating internal champions, running on-site workshops, re-engaging at-risk customers.
    • Security and Legal: translating security requirements, navigating procurement and legal review processes.
  • Data chops. Comfortable writing SQL to understand customer health, usage trends, and spot expansion opportunities.
  • Familiarity with access control models like RBAC, ABAC, and ReBAC.
  • Background in cloud infrastructure and distributed systems (AWS, Kubernetes, Terraform).
  • Strong knowledge of security architecture: LDAP, Active Directory, SAML, OAuth2, OpenID Connect.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation package, including equity.
  • Inclusive Healthcare Package.
  • Learn and Grow: mentorship and access to events that build your network and skills.
  • Flexible Time Off.
  • Equipment provided, plus a WFH budget to outfit your space.
  • Travel covered for customer engagements.
