About the job
Vercel is seeking a Software Engineer to join the Agent Stack team and build eve, Vercel's framework for creating production-ready AI agents. Eve aims to be for agents what Next.js is for web apps, allowing developers to focus on unique agent logic while the platform handles the rest. The role involves designing and implementing core framework components, contributing to eve's runtime, and enhancing the developer experience for AI-native applications. This position is based onsite in New York City.
Responsibilities
- Design and implement core eve framework features, including file-system conventions, compiler, and runtime.
- Build and maintain integrations for eve's channel layer (e.g., Slack, Web Chat, WhatsApp) and connections layer.
- Collaborate with AI SDK, Workflows, and Sandbox teams to ensure seamless integration of eve's primitives.
- Improve developer experience through CLI ergonomics, error messages, documentation, and examples.
- Contribute to eve's evaluation and observability, including test suites, scoring rubrics, and deployment-time evaluations.
- Gather feedback from customers and internal teams to diagnose issues and iterate on agent reliability.
Requirements
- 5+ years of production TypeScript/JavaScript experience.
- Proficiency in owning complex, stateful systems end-to-end.
- Strong understanding of distributed systems concepts (durable execution, checkpointing, async workflows, failure recovery).
- Experience building or operating developer tooling, frameworks, or SDKs for external developers.
- Familiarity with LLM APIs and agent orchestration patterns (tool calling, multi-agent delegation, human-in-the-loop flows).
- Proven track record of shipping high-quality open-source or customer-facing APIs with a focus on API design.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation package including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Mentorship and opportunities to attend industry events.
- Flexible Time Off.
- Provision of necessary work gear and a WFH budget.
