About the company
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company. We free people and agents to ship what’s next.
For more than a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web is built. As the team behind Next.js, v0, and AI SDK, we create products that help builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now, software is entering a new era, and the next generation of products will not just be used by people. They will be built, extended, and operated by agents.
We are building the platform for that future, trusted by companies like OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.
Responsibilities
- Own strategy and roadmap for Vercel's observability products, from telemetry ingestion through the surfaces developers use to debug and monitor.
- Turn ambiguous signal — support escalations, customer interviews, usage data, competitive shifts — into a sequenced plan with clear tradeoffs.
- Partner daily with engineering on scoping, and with design on making dense telemetry data genuinely legible.
- Define the native-vs-integrate line: what Vercel builds, and where we make Datadog, Sentry, Grafana, Honeycomb, and New Relic work seamlessly.
- Work with Enterprise customers and Sales/Solutions on observability needs that block adoption or expansion.
- Own pricing and packaging decisions with Finance and GTM — observability is metered, and unit economics are part of the product.
- Write the launch narrative: changelogs, blog posts, docs direction, in partnership with PMM.
- Define the metrics that tell you it's working, and hold the team to them.
Requirements
- 5+ years in product management, with meaningful time on developer, infrastructure, or data-intensive products.
- You've shipped something technical enough that engineers treated you as a peer. You can read a trace waterfall and reason about cardinality, sampling, and retention costs.
- Comfortable owning a domain end to end without a PM above you translating strategy into work.
- You use the products you build on, and you have opinions about the ones you don't.
- Fluency with data: you write your own queries and don't wait on someone else to answer a usage question.
Conditions
- Competitive compensation package, including equity.
- Inclusive Healthcare Package.
- Learn and Grow - we provide mentorship and send you to events that help you build your network and skills.
- Flexible Time Off.
- We will provide you the gear you need to do your role, and a WFH budget for you to outfit your space as needed.
- The San Francisco, CA base pay range for this role is $172,000 - $258,000.
