Description
About the role
You will own product design for Vercel Marketplace and Vercel Connect, the products that help developers and agents discover, provision, and connect external services to their workloads running on Vercel.
You will design both sides of the ecosystem: builders choosing and managing services, and partners creating and operating integrations across the Vercel dashboard, CLI, API-driven agent flows, v0, and partner tools.
Both products are live, with active customers and partners. You will improve current journeys while defining how integrations and agent access should work next.
You will report into Design and collaborate with a Product Manager and dedicated engineering team.
Responsibilities
- Own the builder and partner experiences across discovery, installation, billing, management, and removal, and shape what the team builds next with Product and Engineering.
- Define how developers and agents discover, provision, configure, and use databases, services, and integrations across Marketplace and Connect.
- Turn OAuth, permissions, environments, credentials, billing, and provider constraints into experiences that feel simple without hiding details that matter.
- Build and test working prototypes independently, using coding agents to explore product behavior and technical constraints.
- Work directly with customers and partners, using research, support signals, and product data to find opportunities, define success measures, and prove improvements through experiments.
- Work through implementation with engineers and maintain quality through launch and iteration.
- Create the reusable patterns and structure Marketplace and Connect need, and adjust course as evidence arrives.
- Take on foundational product problems, including provider dependencies and platform operations.
Requirements
- Your portfolio makes your contribution, decisions, shipped outcomes, and impact after launch easy to understand.
- You have independently owned ambiguous, technically complex product work from problem framing through launch and iteration.
- You reason about systems while maintaining a high bar for interaction and visual craft.
- You use qualitative and quantitative evidence, define success measures, and change direction when evidence challenges the hypothesis.
- You make complex products feel clear and trustworthy, including edge cases, recovery, language, and accessibility.
- You work directly with Product and Engineering, read APIs or code when useful, and explain tradeoffs clearly.
- You independently use coding agents to prototype interactions, inspect implementation, and learn unfamiliar systems.
Nice to Have
- Experience designing a marketplace, integrations platform, partner ecosystem, or other multi-sided product.
- Understanding of OAuth, permissions, secrets, billing, developer tooling, or infrastructure products.
- Experience shipping AI or agent experiences, especially workflows that move between human approval and autonomous action.
- Engineering background or experience contributing production web code.
Compensation & Benefits
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Opportunities for learning and growth, including mentorship and event sponsorships.
- Flexible Time Off.
- Gear and WFH budget provided.
