Product Designer, Marketplace

This Product Designer, Marketplace job is with Vercel in California. Expect a hybrid setup: this is full-time work with regular office days. Pay for this role is set at $172,000 to $258,000 a year, according to the posting.

Here is the role as Vercel describes it.

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:

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. We’re considering candidates at both the Senior and Staff level and will calibrate level based on experience and demonstrated scope and impact.

If you’re based within a pre-determined commuting distance of one of our offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. If you're located beyond that distance, the role is fully remote. For location-specific details, please connect with our recruiting team.

What You Will Do:

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.

There is no mature design playbook here. 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. Some high-impact work will be largely invisible to users.

About You:

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.

Understand OAuth, permissions, secrets, billing, developer tooling, or infrastructure products.

Have shipped AI or agent experiences, especially workflows that move between human approval and autonomous action.

Have an engineering background or experience contributing production web code.

Compensation & 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.

The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $172,000 - $258,000. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role.
