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.
The Vercel Startups org exists to help founders navigate the shift to AI-native development with confidence. Startups move faster
than ever—what used to take years now happens in days—and the decisions founders make early can either unlock scale or become
long-term constraints. We partner with startups at the critical moments where technical, commercial, and strategic support starts
to matter most.
We’re a talent-dense team made up of former founders, engineers, and experienced go-to-market operators who bring firsthand
experience building, scaling, and supporting modern software companies. Many of us have sat on the other side of the table, making
architectural decisions, navigating tradeoffs, and scaling under real constraints, and we bring that perspective into every
customer interaction.
We operate with a growth mindset and strong shared ownership. We dig deep to understand our customers, work closely across
functions as one team, and find ways to win even when the path forward isn’t obvious. Resilience, curiosity, and a willingness to
push through hard problems are table stakes here.
This is a team for people who want to operate with high trust, high agency, and high impact — alongside peers who care deeply
about helping startups succeed.
You are an expert in Vercel, you have incredible pattern recognition, and are at the bleeding edge of the tech and tools defining
how we live and work. In this role, you'll help startups unlock Vercel's full value from adoption through scaling—building
relationships with founders and technical leaders who are making critical architectural decisions. You'll analyze usage patterns
to identify expansion opportunities, coordinate cross-functional teams to drive outcomes, and guide teams as they adopt AI-native
architectures. By leveraging automation and AI to maximize your impact, you'll help refine early plays into repeatable playbooks
that scale across our startup portfolio.
If you’re based within commuting distance of our London office, the role includes in-office anchor days.

We’re looking for someone who sits at the intersection of technical curiosity, commercial excellence, and startup mindset. You

You might be a great fit if you’ve developed this skill set through a range of paths—whether as a builder, founder, engineer, or
in a technical go-to-market role—and you bring strong judgment, ownership, and curiosity to how you work.
