$208,000–$312,000 year
HybridSan Francisco, California, United States
Job Summary
Define the visual language of Vercel's most-seen surfaces, including vercel.com, nextjs.org, product launches, and Ship. Create memorable moments such as hero animations, launch films, event environments, and brand-partnership work across digital and physical mediums. Own the creative vision end to end, from concept to shipped production, collaborating with design engineers to ensure work meets the company's polish bar. Set the craft standard by refining typography, motion, and detail across web, illustration, 3D, and identity. Influence shared patterns and design systems to establish standards for the team. This role reports to the Director of Website Design Engineering and is open to remote or hybrid locations in SF, NY, London, or Berlin.
Required Qualifications
- Exceptional visual design instincts and creativity
- A distinctive eye and original ideas
- 8+ years of design experience
- A portfolio spanning brand systems and work across multiple digital and physical mediums, anchored by strong, shipped web work
- Meaningful hands-on range across several of these: motion, 3D, illustration, environmental and event design, and interaction
- Systems-minded: you design components and patterns, not one-offs, and think about how each choice fits a broader system
- You've shaped launch moments, events, or brand-partnership surfaces under real deadlines, and you know how to make a moment land
- You thrive collaborating with engineers and understand the web as a medium: how layouts behave, what's buildable, how design becomes code
- Comfortable in a technology-driven environment
- A self-starter and egoless collaborator who takes feedback well and gives it generously
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with developer, B2B, or SaaS products
- Familiar with Vercel, with working knowledge or experience preferred
- Can prototype or bring ideas to life in code (React / Tailwind / Next.js)
- Have contributed to a design system at scale (even if owning ours won't be your job)
