We're hiring a DevRel Engineer to work inside the product teams building Vercel's agentic infrastructure: AI Gateway , Sandbox , and the primitives that come after them. You'll sit with product and engineering, build with these tools before anyone else can, and show the world what they make possible. You will report to the Head of AI Infrastructure and can be located anywhere.
What it asks for · 6
- 5+ years in engineering, DevRel, or DX roles, with software you can point to.
- You've built and shipped AI applications or agents: you know tool calling, model routing, and sandboxed code execution from using them.
- Strong TypeScript, and you're at home in the Next.js and AI SDK ecosystem.
- You have a public body of work: talks, posts, open source, or videos.
- You can take a half-finished API and produce a working demo and a clear explanation in the same week, often times the same day.
- You've changed a product roadmap with developer feedback.
Also a plus
- Maintain or contribute to an open source project other developers depend on.
- Have spun up a microVM and have opinions on why isolation matters for agents.
- Have shipped something real on Vercel with the AI SDK.
What the job covers
- Build agents and applications on AI Gateway and Sandbox before they ship, then turn what you learn into demos, templates, and open source projects developers actually clone and run.
- Teach developers how to build with agentic infrastructure through writing, talks, videos, and live coding. You set the canonical examples the ecosystem emulates.
- Shape the products themselves. You sit in the same planning meetings as the PMs and engineers, and your job is to hit the rough edges first and make sure they get fixed before launch.
- Own the important pieces of launches: example repos, launch demos, docs contributions, and the first wave of answers when developers start asking questions.
- Bring the outside in: track how developers across the ecosystem are building agents, where they get stuck, and what they're reaching for that doesn't exist yet.
