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.

About You:

• Passion for web development and staying current with the latest trends and technologies

• Familiar with the Startups culture & interested in working directly with founders

• 1+ years of experience in a technical, sales, or customer support role for a technical product

• Excellent communication skills — ability to explain complex technical concepts to both technical and non‑technical stakeholders

• Strong problem‑solving abilities and attention to detail

• Self‑motivated and able to work independently while also collaborating effectively with cross‑functional teams
