Software Engineer, Domains

About the role:

Vercel Domains (vercel.com/domains) is the fastest domains search on the planet. We are looking for an product-leaning full stack Software Engineer to focus on customer experiences across the full domain lifecycle: search, purchase, renewal, and transfers, plus the notifications and touch points that make those flows clear and trustworthy.

This role is mostly TypeScript and spans both frontend and backend work. You will build polished product experiences in the dashboard and supporting services behind them. You will also work with third-party registrars to ensure accurate registration data and collaborate with Customer Support Engineering to resolve customer issues and prevent them from recurring.

This role is based in SF and includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday.

What you will do:

• Ship customer-facing Domains features end-to-end across UI and TypeScript services (search, purchase, renewals, transfers).
• Improve lifecycle touch points so customers always understand what is happening (statuses, notifications, emails, in-product messaging).
• Integrate with third-party registrars and make complex workflows feel simple, reliable, and fast for customers.
• Partner with Customer Support Engineering to resolve customer issues and reduce repeat problems through better UX, tooling, and observability.

About you:

• Strong experience building customer-facing products with TypeScript across frontend and backend
• Experience with modern web UI development (we use React and Next.js)
• Experience building and integrating REST APIs and working with workflow-heavy systems (multi-step flows, background processing, eventual consistency)
• Experience designing data models and ensuring correctness for customer-critical flows (validation, auditing, reconciliation)
• Experience writing tests and instrumentation for core flows (monitoring, logging, metrics)

Bonus if you:

• Have worked on domains concepts (registrars, DNS, nameservers, transfers, renewals, WHOIS)
• Have experience using Effect to build Typescript apps and services
• Have integrated with third-party providers where reliability varies and edge cases are common
• Have built notification and lifecycle messaging systems (email, in-product notifications, status banners)

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Inclusive Healthcare Package.
• Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
• Flexible Time Off.
• We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
