Product Designer, Marketplace

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.

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.
• Take on foundational product problems, including provider dependencies and platform operations. Some high-impact work will be largely invisible to users.

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. Curiosity and agency with these tools are required.
• Production engineering experience is not required. We care more about product judgment, craft, ownership, and how quickly you learn a technical system.

Bonus

• If you have designed a marketplace, integrations platform, partner ecosystem, or other multi-sided product.
• If you understand OAuth, permissions, secrets, billing, developer tooling, or infrastructure products.
• If you have shipped AI or agent experiences, especially workflows that move between human approval and autonomous action.
• If you have an engineering background or experience contributing production web code.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation package, including equity.
• Inclusive Healthcare Package.
• Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
• Flexible Time Off.
• We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
