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.

  • 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.

  • Advocate for and mentor other design engineers, sharing best practices in frontend craft, animation, experimentation, and performance.

  • 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.
