At Vercel, our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products and that goes hand in hand with creating an environment where you can do the best work of your life.

About the Role:

Vercel’s talent team is lean, fast-moving, and deeply embedded in the business. We’re looking for a Technical Recruiter to help scale our most critical technical orgs — including Engineering, Product, Data, Security, and IT.

This isn’t a plug-and-play recruiting role. You’ll have the freedom to drive projects and iterate quickly, while partnering deeply with our EPD orgs to build world-class teams. If you’re someone who thinks like a builder, acts with urgency, and knows how to close top-tier talent — you’ll thrive here.

What You Will Do:

• Own full-cycle recruiting across our engineering org (Edge Networking, Compute, CI/CD, Platform Engineering, and beyond), as well as technical teams like Product, Security, IT, and Data.
• Build and manage pipelines for high-priority roles — from individual contributors to leadership.
• Partner closely with hiring managers and cross-functional leaders to define candidate profiles, shape interview processes, and drive alignment.
• Develop and execute creative sourcing strategies to attract top technical talent in a competitive market.
• Use data to identify bottlenecks and optimize for speed and quality throughout the funnel.
• Deliver a high-signal, high-touch candidate experience from first touch to close.
• Contribute to how we scale hiring — from process and tooling to employer brand and market positioning.

About You:

• 5+ years of highly technical recruiting experience, with a proven ability to engage deeply with both engineering and non-engineering domains (e.g. Product, Security, Data, IT).
• Strong technical acumen — you're able to quickly understand complex engineering concepts and speak credibly with candidates. Experience recruiting for deeply technical products is a big plus.
• You've built hiring processes from the ground up, especially in newer or scaling functions, and know how to evolve them as the org grows.
• You’re energized by ambiguity and naturally build structure where needed.
• You move fast, think like a founder, and operate with high agency.
• Strong sourcing fundamentals with a creative, targeted approach to outreach.
• Comfortable using data to guide decisions, identify gaps, and iterate quickly.
• Excellent communicator and relationship builder — you earn trust with ICs and execs alike.
• Familiarity with tools like Greenhouse and Gem is a plus.

Benefits:

• 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.
