Job description

About Vercel: Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience. Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide. About the role As an Engineering Manager on the Dashboard team, you will lead a team of engineers responsible for the primary interface developers use to build, deploy, and manage applications on Vercel. The Dashboard is where customers experience the platform every day, from onboarding new projects to managing deployments, observability, billing, security, AI, and team collaboration. You'll partner closely with Product, Design, Data, and other engineering teams to deliver intuitive, high-quality product experiences while helping shape the long-term architecture of one of Vercel's most important customer-facing surfaces. This role requires balancing technical leadership, product thinking, and strong people management to help the team ship quickly without compromising quality. What you'll do Build and grow a high-performing team of engineers through hiring, coaching, mentorship, and thoughtful career development. Foster a culture of ownership, collaboration, and high engineering standards while creating an environment where engineers can do their best work. Partner closely with Product, Design, and other engineering teams to define roadmap priorities and execute against ambitious product goals. Help the team make sound technical decisions around frontend architecture, performance, reliability, and developer experience. Occasionally review and contribute code to stay close to the technology and unblock the team when needed. Drive operational excellence through strong engineering processes, incident management, and continuous improvement. Balance short-term product delivery with long-term investments in technical quality and platform scalability. Champion a customer-first mindset, ensuring the Dashboard remains fast, intuitive, and delightful for developers of all sizes. What you need You have experience leading and growing high-performing engineering teams. You have built and operated large-scale customer-facing web applications or developer products. You have a strong product engineering mindset and enjoy working closely with product managers and designers to deliver polished user experiences. You have experience building modern web applications using technologies such as React, Next.js, TypeScript, and the broader JavaScript ecosystem. You understand frontend architecture, performance optimization, accessibility, and design systems. You communicate clearly across technical and non-technical audiences and can build alignment across teams. You thrive in fast-moving environments and are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. You care deeply about creating an inclusive team culture where engineers can grow and have meaningful impact. Benefits & Compensation: Competitive compensation package and stock options. Comprehensive, inclusive healthcare package. Opportunities for mentorship and professional growth, including attendance at industry events. Flexible Time Off with a recommended minimum of four weeks per year, plus paid holidays. Remote-friendly culture with teammates across multiple time zones. Dedicated equipment and work-from-home budget to help you create an effective workspace. The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $226,000-$325,000.
