Director of Engineering, v0 at Vercel

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering leader with at least 10 years of experience who has a proven track record of scaling teams of 15+ engineers. You should have a deep background in AI/ML products or developer tools and be comfortable navigating the ambiguity of a high-growth startup environment. Since this is a leadership role for **v0**, a generative UI product, a strong technical grasp of frontend ecosystems (React/Next.js) and model integration is essential. The compensation is highly competitive, offering a base salary up to $384,000 plus equity. This is a high-impact "founding" leadership opportunity where you will report directly to the VP of Engineering and shape the technical future of generative UI. While the role is based in New York City on a hybrid schedule, you'll be part of an elite team that maintains the industry standard for frontend infrastructure. **You might be a good fit if you...** * Have managed managers and scaled engineering organizations in fast-paced environments. * Are passionate about the intersection of Generative AI, LLMs, and frontend development. * Balance high-level architectural strategy with a hands-on ability to review system designs. * Thrive in a "shipping-first" culture that values quality, velocity, and low-ego collaboration.
