About the Role

As a Brand Designer on Vercel's Core team, you will help evolve the foundational visual language of a brand trusted by ambitious builders. You will create systems, experiences, and brand moments that are recognizable, ambitious, and scalable. This role involves working across brand systems, digital experiences, product launches, social media, motion graphics, print, events, and merchandise, with an emphasis on designing, prototyping, and using AI-assisted code to bring brand ideas to life.

Responsibilities

  • Lead design across key brand moments including product launches, campaigns, events, and internal initiatives.
  • Evolve foundational elements of Vercel's visual identity: typography, color, composition, iconography, imagery, motion, and product-brand expression.
  • Design across mediums such as web, motion, 3D, social, print, swag, and environments.
  • Write HTML/CSS/JS and use AI-assisted tools to prototype independently and explore new forms of brand expression.
  • Build and evolve a scalable brand system, translating it into tools, templates, and production-ready assets.
  • Work hands-on from concept through final production, preparing files, specs, and assets for implementation.
  • Determine when motion, 3D, code, or emerging technology meaningfully strengthens an idea.
  • Establish a shared visual language across product, marketing, and internal communications.
  • Partner with design engineers to polish prototypes into high-quality digital experiences.
  • Collaborate with engineering, marketing, product design, and leadership to align on strategy and ship cohesive work.
  • Direct and collaborate with external specialists when execution extends beyond your own craft.
  • Present and defend creative decisions, connecting visual choices to brand, product, audience, and business goals.

Requirements

  • 5+ years in brand, marketing, or visual design, ideally at a SaaS, developer tools, or fast-growing tech company.
  • A portfolio showcasing exceptional taste, systems thinking, and execution across mediums.
  • Exceptional typography and layout skills with obsessive attention to detail.
  • Deep understanding of visual storytelling, brand systems, composition, motion, and digital experiences.
  • Proficiency in using AI throughout the design process for visual exploration, prototyping, production, automation, and code writing.
  • Comfortable with AI-assisted coding environments like v0, Cursor, or Claude Code to build working prototypes.
  • Practical understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to refine AI-generated code.
  • Technical curiosity and capability to ship functional prototypes.
  • Ability to think beyond static files and bring ideas to life as interactive experiences.
  • Strong production knowledge across digital and physical formats.
  • Comfortable moving between conceptual thinking, detailed execution, prototyping, and production.
  • Understanding of how brand lives within products and digital experiences.
  • Ability to work quickly and meet high standards.
