About Vercel
Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.

About the Senior Product Designer Role
Vercel is looking for an experienced Senior Product Designer to join our Product Design team! In this role, you will work across the product designing thoughtful, system based solutions for challenging customer problems and helping the team build remarkable software interfaces.

The Vercel Design Team is a group of passionate designers who work to solve challenges that are unique, complex and nuanced-just like the web.
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, even if the role is listed as remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.
