For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.\nNow 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.\nAbout the Role:\nWe are looking for a Product Manager to join our Product team. You will own Vercel's compute platform - Fluid compute, Vercel, Functions, Sandbox, and more - the layer that runs every workload our customers deploy. You will set the direction for how developers configure, scale, and run code on Vercel, from a single function, to multi-service architectures, to agents. You will report to the Product Lead and will be located in San Francisco, CA (hybrid).\nVercel invested in its own microVM-based compute infrastructure externally called “Fluid compute”. Fluid changed what’s now possible to run on Vercel. For example, we’ve delivered Sandboxes, a new primitive to run untrusted and agent-generated code. We are just scratching the surface of what Fluid is can deliver. This is a senior role with wide latitude: you'll decide where that platform goes next.\nIf 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.\nWhat You Will Do:\nOwn the product vision, strategy, and multi-year roadmap for Vercel's compute platform.\nDefine how Vercel serves AI and agent workloads, where long-running, I/O-bound, and code-executing tasks have a fundamentally different compute profile than traditional request/response traffic.\nShape the developer experience of running workloads on Vercel: resource model, attributes, API and config files.\nPartner with Engineering on the performance and reliability bar for compute, including cold starts and creation time latency\nDefine pricing for new products and resources.\nSet the compute primitives that adjacent product areas build on, and work with those teams on what they need from the platform\nWork directly with Enterprise customers and the field on compute requirements that block adoption or scale\nAbout You:\nYou've built and shipped infrastructure or developer platform products, ideally compute, serverless, containers, or runtime platforms\nYou have the technical depth to reason about concurrency, cold starts, isolation models, and the cost and performance tradeoffs of a compute platform\nYou have owned a platform area that other product teams build on, and set technical direction others adopted\nYou have experience with AI or agent workloads and how their resource profile differs from conventional web traffic\nYou have experience working directly with Enterprise customers on infrastructure requirements\nYou have experience using usage and product analytics data to drive roadmap decisions\nBonus If You:\nHave worked at a cloud provider or on a serverless, container, or edge compute platform\nHave an engineering background or have built software yourself\nHave worked on multi-runtime platforms and the tradeoffs of supporting several language runtimes\nHave worked on sandboxing, isolation, or secure execution of untrusted code\nCompensation & Benefits:\nCompetitive compensation package, including equity.\nInclusive Healthcare Package.\nLearn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.\nFlexible Time Off.\nWe will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.\nThe San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $208,000 - $312,000. 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. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process. \nDisclosures:\nPrivacy: Please review our Job Applicant Privacy Policyfor more information on how we handle your data.\n Equal Opportunity: Vercel is committed to fostering and empowering an inclusive community within our organization.
