Product Manager, Compute

What You Will Do:

• Own the product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for Vercel's compute platform.
• Define how Vercel serves AI and agent workloads, where long-running, I/O-bound, and code-executing tasks have a fundamentally different compute profile than traditional request/response traffic.
• Shape the developer experience of running workloads on Vercel: resource model, attributes, API and config files.
• Partner with Engineering on the performance and reliability bar for compute, including cold starts and creation time latency.
• Define pricing for new products and resources.
• Set the compute primitives that adjacent product areas build on, and work with those teams on what they need from the platform.
• Work directly with Enterprise customers and the field on compute requirements that block adoption or scale.

About You:

• You've built and shipped infrastructure or developer platform products, ideally compute, serverless, containers, or runtime platforms.
• You have the technical depth to reason about concurrency, cold starts, isolation models, and the cost and performance tradeoffs of a compute platform.
• You have owned a platform area that other product teams build on, and set technical direction others adopted.
• You have experience with AI or agent workloads and how their resource profile differs from conventional web traffic.
• You have experience working directly with Enterprise customers on infrastructure requirements.
• You have experience using usage and product analytics data to drive roadmap decisions.

Bonus If You:

• Have worked at a cloud provider or on a serverless, container, or edge compute platform.
• Have an engineering background or have built software yourself.
• Have worked on multi-runtime platforms and the tradeoffs of supporting several language runtimes.
• Have worked on sandboxing, isolation, or secure execution of untrusted code.
