Senior Community Engineer

About Vercel:

Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.

Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you’re building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

About the Role:

Vercel is looking for a Senior Community Engineer who will be responsible for interacting directly with our customers in the Vercel Community.

This role requires both a strong technical foundation and a curiosity for a broad range of frontend technologies, reflecting the diverse stack used by Vercel customers. While Next.js experience is highly valuable, the ability to quickly learn and adapt to new frameworks based on customer needs is even more important. You’ll also play a key role in supporting v0 adoption, helping developers onboard and troubleshoot as they build with it.

You will play a pivotal part in building a dynamic customer community that goes beyond just support. You’ll foster best practice knowledge sharing, helping customers at all levels connect, learn, and grow together as Vercel Experts.

A major part of your role will be curating and scaling knowledge, ensuring that valuable insights don’t get lost but instead become part of a growing library of solutions, guides, and community-driven discussions.

Most importantly, you’ll help elevate customers by sharing the “Vercel stage” with them, highlighting their work.
