Software Engineer, Dashboard

About the role

The Full Stack Engineer will build the Vercel Dashboard, the control plane for every Vercel user. This role involves owning the core surface through which developers and teams interact with Vercel, from first login through daily use. The Dashboard is currently a project listing page but will be transformed into a personalized, agent-powered surface that proactively assists users in shipping and adhering to best practices.

Responsibilities

• 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

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer building user-facing products
• Strong across the stack: modern frontend (React, TypeScript, Next.js) and backend (APIs, databases, services)
• Experience building products for developers or technical users
• System thinking: build reusable abstractions, composable components, and clean APIs
• Comfortable with ambiguity: take a rough problem statement and turn it into shipped code
• Experience using AI tools in development workflow and opinions on how they should work
• Fast shipper: bias toward iteration and production feedback over long planning cycles
• Clear communicator and collaborator with Product, Design, and other engineering teams

Qualifications

• 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
