Technical Recruiter

About Vercel:

Vercel gives developers the tools and cloud infrastructure to build, scale, and secure a faster, more personalized web. As the team behind v0, Next.js, and AI SDK, Vercel helps customers like Ramp, Supreme, PayPal, Chick-fil-A, and Under Armour build for the AI-native web.

Our mission is to enable the world to ship the best products. That starts with creating a place where everyone can do their best work. Whether you're building on our platform, supporting our customers, or shaping our story: You can just ship things.

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.
