About Vercel:
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. Whether you’re building our products, supporting our customers, growing our community, or shaping our story, you’ll help define what comes next.
As a member of the Workflows Team, you will be responsible for developing and enhancing our Workflow Development Kit (WDK) and Vercel Workflow platform, with a focus on AI enablement. You will collaborate closely with a team of talented engineers to create durable, observable, and fault-tolerant tools that empower developers to build AI agents, long-running processes, and intelligent workflows. This includes integrating AI capabilities for patterns like sequential processing, parallel execution, and evaluator-optimizer loops, ensuring seamless durability for AI-native applications.
What You Will Do:
- Contribute to the design, implementation, and maintenance of the Workflow Development Kit and Vercel Workflow platform, with emphasis on AI integrations for reliable agentic workflows, durability, and observability.
- Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code. Conduct comprehensive testing to ensure the reliability and stability of workflows, including handling pauses, resumptions, and state management for AI agents.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including product managers, designers, and infrastructure experts, to address challenges and deliver exceptional results in AI-enabled development workflows.
- Engage with the open-source community, participate in discussions, and contribute to related projects, aligning with Vercel's commitment to giving back to the developer community.
- Actively gather feedback from developers and users, and use it to drive continuous improvement and innovation in AI enablement features within the Workflows platform.
- You have at least 5+ years of relevant experience
- Strong proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript and experience with modern frontend development tools
- Experience with AI/ML frameworks, workflow automation, or building durable systems (e.g., agents, queues, state machines)
- Experience contributing to or participating in open source projects
- Excellent communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a collaborative team environment
