Join Vercel as a Design Engineer to shape the future of AI Gateway, designing and implementing user-friendly interfaces for developers. Work remotely and enjoy competitive compensation and benefits.
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.
What You Will Do:
- Own product design and frontend implementation for meaningful parts of the journey from discovering a model to making a first successful request and operating AI in production.
- Design and build production experiences across the website, dashboard, CLI, and APIs, choosing the right medium for each problem.
- Make models, providers, credentials, routing, budgets, logs, performance, privacy, and governance understandable, then create patterns that extend across new providers, modalities, and workloads.
- Talk directly with customers and use product data to understand problems, define success, make tradeoffs, and improve what ships.
- Own quality after launch, including visual and interaction craft, accessibility, performance, resilience, instrumentation, and edge cases.
- Use coding agents to explore and implement ideas quickly, while testing, debugging, and taking responsibility for what ships.
About You:
- Your work shows what you personally identified, designed, built, shipped, and learned after launch.
- You build production-quality web applications with React and TypeScript and can contribute confidently in a large, existing codebase.
- You bring strong visual and interaction craft and have made technical or data-rich products understandable without removing the control advanced users need.
- You can move between graphical interfaces, CLI workflows, API behavior, and implementation details, treating accessibility, performance, failure recovery, and instrumentation as part of the design.
- You use customer research and product data to make decisions, communicate your reasoning clearly, challenge ideas constructively, and change direction when the evidence changes.
- You use coding agents in your daily work, but you can explain, test, debug, and take responsibility for the code they help produce.
- There is no required path into this role. You may come from product design, frontend engineering, creative development, or a career that does not fit a standard title. We care about the quality of what you have shipped and the judgment behind it.
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.
