Vercel Is Hiring a Remote Staff Data Engineer in the US
Vercel has opened a senior-level remote role for a data platform engineer based anywhere in the United States — a strong lead for experienced engineers eyeing infrastructure work.
If you've been waiting for a high-impact remote engineering role that goes beyond maintaining someone else's stack, this one's worth a look. Vercel — the company behind the deployment and hosting platform trusted by the likes of OpenAI, PayPal, and Ramp — is hiring a Staff Engineer to help build its next-generation data platform from the ground up.
The role sits at the architectural level. You'd be shaping the technical direction of Vercel's entire data ecosystem, touching everything from real-time analytics pipelines to the infrastructure that supports AI and machine learning work. Tools in play include Kafka, ClickHouse, Tinybird, and Snowflake — a modern, well-regarded stack for anyone serious about data engineering.
This isn't a hands-off leadership position. Vercel is explicit that the hire will be writing production code alongside strategic work, reporting directly to the Senior Director of Data Engineering and collaborating across product and engineering teams.
For remote workers with a strong data engineering background, fully remote US-based roles at this seniority level don't come up constantly. If the stack sounds familiar and you've been itching to build something foundational rather than incremental, it's worth digging into the full listing.
