Software Engineer, Platform

What you will do:

• Design and build high-scale, internal observability systems (metrics, logs, and traces) that give engineering and the business visibility into Vercel's own infrastructure.
• Build cost attribution and chargeback tooling so spend can be accurately mapped to the parts of the business driving it, reducing reliance on third-party tools like Datadog.
• Partner with Backend and Platform teams to instrument services for compliance, auditing, and record-keeping requirements.
• Evaluate, integrate, and help operate observability infrastructure across our existing vendors and the CNCF ecosystem.
• Ship pragmatic, high-leverage visibility quickly that drives improvement in how build, deploy, and operate our systems.
• Work closely with Backend and Platform engineers to scale observability infrastructure to the throughput and cardinality of Vercel's full production traffic.
