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.

The design team at Vercel is comprised of capable and considerate humans working to solve challenges that are unique, complex, and nuanced-just like the web. Vercel is looking for an experienced individual to join the Design Engineering team at Senior or Staff level. The Design Engineering team is responsible for the highest level of polish, creativity and interaction on Vercel.
You will work across the logged out experience of Vercel,shaping the future of Vercel.com, events, and marketing surfaces that introduce the world to Vercel. You'll work on design initiatives and create thoughtful, innovative, systems-based solutions for top-of-funnel experiences, working closely with design, marketing, sales, GTM, Analytics, product design, and engineering.
Designers at Vercel have broad creative license, and the freedom to create and lead new, design-driven projects. If you are someone who gets excited about the possibility of creative development, uncovering insights to drive conversion, improving user experience, experimenting, and personalizing, then this might be the right role for you.
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. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
What You Will Do:
  • Report to our Director of Design Engineering and help Vercel strengthen its acquisition surfaces by driving design leadership and engineering excellence on vercel.com, events, and related experiences.
  • Contribute to the design process by gathering requirements, planning and ideating from the start of a project, and shaping modular systems for repeatable marketing and growth use cases.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the development workflow, CMS and analytics integrations (Payload, Rudderstack, Clearbit, Sequel.io, etc.), and how to streamline processes with cross-functional partners.
  • Work with designers, marketers, and engineers to collaborate on ideation and ensure high-quality, performant implementations across campaigns and pages.
  • Help lead the technical roadmap for acquisition surfaces, championing iterative improvements to browser performance, accessibility, Core Web Vitals, and SEO.
  • Provide design systems feedback and iteration to help empower the entire company with a first-class, consistent web experience.
  • Advocate for and mentor other design engineers, sharing best practices in frontend craft, animation, experimentation, and performance.
  • Help grow the team and elevate design and engineering within the company.

About You:
  • Depth and quality of your experience is more important than years. That said, successful candidates typically have at least 5+ years of development experience.
  • Strong programming skills, experience with application development, and excellent troubleshooting skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a keen eye for detail.
  • Excellent understanding of Next.js and Vercel, CMS platforms like Payload (or Contentful), analytics platforms like Amplitude or Heap, and design tools like Figma.
  • Familiarity with growth experimentation, SEO principles, and marketing/brand campaigns.
  • Skills and understanding on graphic design (layout, typography, color, illustration).
  • Perfectionism with the experience (polish, readability, accessibility, performance).
  • Experience working in or with Software as a Service (SaaS) companies.
  • You have closely collaborated with folks from marketing and design in previous roles.

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.
