For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.\nNow we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.\nAbout the Role:\nAs a Solution Architect in the Field Engineering team, you will span both technical pre-sales and post-sales, serving as a trusted advisor to our enterprise customers throughout their lifecycle. In pre-sales, you will qualify technical fit, design future-state architectures, run evaluations, and demonstrate how Vercel unlocks measurable business outcomes. Post-sales, you will act as a technical quarterback, helping customers successfully adopt and standardize on Vercel by aligning the right resources at the right time. You will guide architecture and implementation decisions, identify when to engage Professional Services or Developer Success, and work across Product and Engineering to unblock customers and drive long-term success for critical AI and Web workloads.\nIf you’re based within commuting distance of our London or Berlin office, the role includes in-office anchor days. \nWhat You Will Do\nPartner with Sales to lead technical discovery, qualify customer use cases, and shape solution strategy for key opportunities.\nDesign target architectures for modern Agentic workflows, and AI and web applications on Vercel, including frontends, APIs, data and edge services, and integrations with headless and composable ecosystems (CMS, commerce, payments, media, analytics).\nCreate and deliver tailored demos, technical presentations, and workshops that clearly articulate Vercel’s value and differentiate our platform.\nOwn and run proofs of concept and pilots end-to-end: define success criteria, guide implementation, remove technical blockers, and ensure executive-level outcomes are documented.\nAct as lead architect post-sale for strategic accounts, guiding onboarding, reference implementations, migration patterns, and best practices for building and operating on Vercel.\nProactively engage with customers on performance, reliability, and cost optimization, using metrics like Core Web Vitals, Lighthouse, and observability data to drive continuous improvement.\nCollaborate with other members of the Field Engineering Team to standardise playbooks, reusable assets, and patterns that scale across customers and regions.\nRespond to and coordinate security, compliance, and architecture reviews, partnering with internal specialists on areas like data protection and regulatory requirements.\nCapture recurring themes, patterns, and gaps from the field and feed them back into Product and Engineering roadmaps as the technical Voice of the Customer.\nContribute to internal enablement and external content (reference architectures, example repos, talks, and blog posts) that help developers be successful on Vercel.\nSome travel elements are expected relating to industry events, customer on-sites.\nAbout You\nYou have significant experience in a customer-facing technical role (solutions architect, sales engineer, platform architect, Agency Software Engineer) working with modern web or cloud platforms.\nYou bring strong hands-on skills with JavaScript/TypeScript and modern web frameworks, ideally including Next.js, and are comfortable reviewing and discussing application code with engineering teams.\nYou understand web performance, caching, networking, and security fundamentals, ideally AI/LLM powered applications and Agentic workflows and can translate them into practical guidance for enterprise architectures.\nYou are equally comfortable discussing business outcomes with executives and implementation details with developers, switching context quickly while maintaining credibility.\nYou have a track record of owning complex technical projects, juggling multiple stakeholders, and delivering on time in fast-moving environments.\nYou thrive in collaborative field teams, enjoy mentoring others, and value clear, concise communication and documentation.\nYou are familiar with cloud platforms (such as AWS, Azure, or GCP) and how SaaS and edge platforms integrate into broader enterprise architectures.\nYou have empathy for developers and a passion for great developer experience, and you enjoy helping teams build accurate mental models of how platforms work.\nBonus if you have experience of building AI powered applications, or Agentic workloads, ideally leveraging tooling such as the AI SDK.\nBonus If You\nHave production experience deploying and operating Next.js or other modern frontend frameworks on Vercel or similar platforms.\nHave worked with organisations standardising on composable architectures (headless CMS, commerce, search, analytics, and identity providers).\nHold cloud or architecture certifications (for example, Cloud Solutions Architect certifications) or have led large-scale migrations to cloud-native platforms.\nAre familiar with security and privacy standards such as SOC 2, PCI DSS, or HIPAA and have participated in customer security reviews.\nBenefits:\nCompetitive compensation package, including equity.\nInclusive Healthcare Package.\nLearn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.\nFlexible Time Off.\nWe will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.\nVercel is committed to fostering and empowering an inclusive community within our organization.
