Design Engineer

Design Engineer

Vercel is seeking a Design Engineer to own product design and frontend implementation for AI Gateway, a platform that allows developers to connect applications and agents to hundreds of models with one API key. You will work closely with product managers and engineers to build a seamless developer experience across multiple surfaces.

Responsibilities

• Own product design and frontend implementation for meaningful parts of the journey from discovering a model to making a first successful request and operating AI in production.
• Design and build production experiences across the website, dashboard, CLI, and APIs.
• Make models, providers, credentials, routing, budgets, logs, performance, privacy, and governance understandable.
• Talk directly with customers and use product data to understand problems, define success, make tradeoffs, and improve what ships.
• Own quality after launch, including visual and interaction craft, accessibility, performance, resilience, instrumentation, and edge cases.
• Use coding agents to explore and implement ideas quickly, while testing, debugging, and taking responsibility for what ships.

Requirements

• Your work shows what you personally identified, designed, built, shipped, and learned after launch.
• You build production-quality web applications with React and TypeScript and can contribute confidently in a large, existing codebase.
• You bring strong visual and interaction craft and have made technical or data-rich products understandable without removing the control advanced users need.
• You can move between graphical interfaces, CLI workflows, API behavior, and implementation details, treating accessibility, performance, failure recovery, and instrumentation as part of the design.
• You use customer research and product data to make decisions, communicate your reasoning clearly, challenge ideas constructively, and change direction when the evidence changes.
• You use coding agents in your daily work, but you can explain, test, debug, and take responsibility for the code they help produce.

Salary

Competitive compensation package, including equity. The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $208,000 - $312,000.
