What is remote infrastructure?

Remote infrastructure refers to the combination of hardware, software, networks, and services that allow IT systems to be managed and accessed from remote locations. This setup enables organizations to operate, monitor, and maintain servers, storage, databases, and network resources without needing on-site presence. Remote infrastructure is essential for supporting remote work, cloud computing, distributed teams, and business continuity. It often involves the use of cloud platforms, virtual private networks (VPNs), monitoring tools, and automation to ensure secure and efficient operations.

What is the difference between Remote Infrastructure vs Remote Network Engineer?

AspectRemote InfrastructureRemote Network Engineer
Required CredentialsCertifications like CompTIA Network+, Cisco CCNA, AWS Certified Solutions ArchitectCertifications like Cisco CCNA, CCNP, CompTIA Network+
Work EnvironmentDesigning, implementing, and managing overall IT infrastructure including servers, storage, and cloud servicesConfiguring, troubleshooting, and maintaining network systems, routers, switches, and firewalls
Industry UsageUsed across cloud providers, enterprise IT, and data centersPrimarily in networking, cybersecurity, and telecom sectors

Remote Infrastructure professionals focus on the broader IT environment, including servers, cloud services, and storage, while Remote Network Engineers specialize in network hardware, configurations, and connectivity. Both roles require similar certifications and often work in overlapping industries, but their core responsibilities differ significantly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a remote infrastructure engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Remote Infrastructure Engineer, you need expertise in network management, cloud computing, and server administration, often backed by a degree in computer science or IT and relevant certifications like AWS, Azure, or Cisco. Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible), virtualization platforms, and monitoring systems is typically required. Strong problem-solving abilities, effective communication, and self-motivation are crucial soft skills for success in remote and collaborative environments. These skills ensure reliable, secure, and scalable infrastructure management, supporting business continuity and efficient operations.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals working in remote infrastructure roles, and how can they be addressed?

Professionals in remote infrastructure roles often encounter challenges such as coordinating across time zones, troubleshooting issues without physical access to hardware, and maintaining clear communication with distributed teams. To address these, it's important to leverage robust remote monitoring and management tools, establish standardized procedures for incident response, and use collaboration platforms to stay connected with colleagues. Regular check-ins and thorough documentation also help ensure that everyone stays aligned and issues are resolved efficiently.

DevRel Engineer, Agentic Infrastructure

Job description

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.
About the role:
We're hiring a DevRel Engineer to work inside the product teams building Vercel's agentic infrastructure: AI Gateway, Sandbox, and the primitives that come after them. You'll sit with product and engineering, build with these tools before anyone else can, and show the world what they make possible. You will report to the Head of AI Infrastructure and can be located anywhere.
If you're based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday, even if the role is listed as remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
When applying, include a link to something you made that taught developers something, a talk, a repo, a post, a video. Applications without one will not be considered.
What you will do:
  • Build agents and applications on AI Gateway and Sandbox before they ship, then turn what you learn into demos, templates, and open source projects developers actually clone and run.
  • Teach developers how to build with agentic infrastructure through writing, talks, videos, and live coding. You set the canonical examples the ecosystem emulates.
  • Shape the products themselves. You sit in the same planning meetings as the PMs and engineers, and your job is to hit the rough edges first and make sure they get fixed before launch.
  • Own the important pieces of launches: example repos, launch demos, docs contributions, and the first wave of answers when developers start asking questions.
  • Bring the outside in: track how developers across the ecosystem are building agents, where they get stuck, and what they're reaching for that doesn't exist yet.
About you:
  • 5+ years in engineering, DevRel, or DX roles, with software you can point to.
  • You've built and shipped AI applications or agents: you know tool calling, model routing, and sandboxed code execution from using them.
  • Strong TypeScript, and you're at home in the Next.js and AI SDK ecosystem.
  • You have a public body of work: talks, posts, open source, or videos.
  • You can take a half-finished API and produce a working demo and a clear explanation in the same week, often times the same day.
  • You've changed a product roadmap with developer feedback.
Bonus if you:
  • Maintain or contribute to an open source project other developers depend on.
  • Have spun up a microVM and have opinions on why isolation matters for agents.
  • Have shipped something real on Vercel with the AI SDK.
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.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $168,000 - $252,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
Vercel is committed to fostering and empowering an inclusive community within our organization. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, national origin, citizenship, age, marital status, veteran status, disability status, or any other characteristic protected by law. Vercel encourages everyone to apply for our available positions, even if they don't necessarily check every box on the job description.
