Vercel is looking for an expert Senior Visual Designer to join our Product Design team! In this role, you will work across the product, leading design projects, and designing thoughtful, system-based solutions. The Vercel Design Team is a group of talented designers who work to solve challenges that are unique, complex, and nuanced - just like the web!
Vercel is a platform that enables frontend teams to do their best work. We combine the best developer experience with a focus on end-user performance, in an effort to ship remarkable products. Our products are built for developers, designers, and people they collaborate with, to get their inventions from brainstorming to execution.
Designers at Vercel have creative license, and that comes with the freedom to spawn entirely new projects that are design-driven. If you are a leader who gets passionate about the possibility of digging deeper into opportunities that address customer needs, then this might be a phenomenal role for you.
Create, collaborate, and iterate on flows, prototypes, and high-fidelity visuals including mocks, illustrations, and animations.
Work closely with engineers and other partners to ensure a high-quality implementation.
Working with the Vercel Growth team, collaborating on visual designs that help communicate the value of the product.
Set the creative quality bar for evolving design projects.
Advocate for, and guide other designers and engineers about Vercel's approach to design thinking.
Awareness of web design trends as well as curiosity and passion for new and innovative design ideas.
Strong attention to design details. You care about the little things, such as font sizes, leading, and padding and know how to put on the extra coat of gloss to make a design really shine.
You design for the future. We want someone that is ahead of the design curve and that knows how to design using the latest technology (animation, three-fiber, etc) to build truly immersive experiences.
You actively have a pulse on digital design and where the web is heading. Curiosity is key.
Cross-functional. Excellent at working across the company with varying collaborators. Agency experience is ideal.
Willingness to experiment and try new things.
You should know your way around the Pen Tool and be comfortable with vector-based illustrating.
Ideally a strong understanding of css/js. If not a coder, an understanding of what is possible with current capabilities in front-end technologies.
You should be comfortable discussing your work and rationalizing your design decisions. You will have broad ownership of a variety of design projects, and should be able to run without a lot of direction.
