Job Description

About Vercel:

Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what’s next. For more than a decade we’ve helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.

Now we’re scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Product Manager to join our Product team. You will own Vercel’s compute platform – Fluid compute, Vercel, Functions, Sandbox, and more – the layer that runs every workload our customers deploy. You will set the direction for how developers configure, scale, and run code on Vercel, from a single function, to multi-service architectures, to agents. You will report to the Product Lead and will be located in San Francisco, CA (hybrid).

Vercel invested in its own microVM-based compute infrastructure externally called “Fluid compute”. Fluid changed what’s now possible to run on Vercel. For example, we’ve delivered Sandboxes, a new primitive to run untrusted and agent-generated code. We are just scratching the surface of what Fluid is can deliver. This is a senior role with wide latitude: you’ll decide where that platform goes next.

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:

• 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

Bonus If You:

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $208,000 – $312,000. 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.
