Job Description

Content Engineer

Location: Hybrid - San Francisco, New York City, Austin (Remote options available for distances outside commuting range)

About Vercel Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. Known for creating v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel serves customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, and Under Armour.

The Role

This hybrid role combines two core responsibilities: Shipping great technical content and Building the AI content engine that makes content generation repeatable at scale.

You will join a small, high-agency team at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market. You will treat content like an engineering discipline, using systems, agents, and tooling to increase throughput while maintaining technical accuracy.

Key Responsibilities

• Write and publish high-quality narratives explaining Vercel's AI Cloud, platform capabilities, and developer workflows.
• Create repeatable, tech-enabled pipelines for drafting, technical review, publishing, and updates.
• Build agents and workflows to support the content development process using code-first LLM tools.
• Act as "customer zero" to pressure test features, SDKs, docs, and examples for accuracy and clarity.
• Review and refine content and code examples for technical accuracy.
• Track content performance (both human and AI model engagement) and iterate based on data.
• Manage context windows, build knowledge layers for retrieval, and implement structured outlines.

Technical Stack & Tools

• Code-first LLM tools (e.g., Claude Code)
• TypeScript
• Next.js
• Vercel Platform
• Custom agent and workflow automation

Requirements

• 5 years of experience as a Technical Writer, Developer Experience (DX) Advocate, or similar role.
• Proven track record of high-impact long-form technical writing.
• Hands-on web development experience with the ability to reason about real-world tradeoffs.
• Proficiency with modern frontend tools (TypeScript, Next.js, Vercel).
• Ability to collaborate deeply with engineers and earn trust through technical accuracy.
• Experience building systems or eagerness to develop AI-driven content workflows.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary: $168,000 - $231,000 (Base range for San Francisco; adjusted for location).
• Comprehensive equity and competitive compensation package.
• Inclusive Healthcare Package.
• Flexible Time Off.
• Equipment provided (laptop, gear) and a WFH setup budget.
• Professional development and mentorship opportunities.

How to Apply

Required: Submit one content sample (blog post or long-form content) demonstrating your ability to excel in technical writing and system building. Applications without this sample will not be considered.

Note on Commuting: If based within commuting distance of SF, NY, London, or Berlin, the role includes in-office anchor days on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Otherwise, the role is fully remote.
