About The Position

Vercel is seeking a Product Manager to join their Product team. This role will focus on Software Factory, a new product area designed to integrate AI agents into all stages of the development lifecycle, including issue triaging, planning, coding, and verification, while ensuring human oversight for critical decisions. The goal is to automate continuous software maintenance and improvement by leveraging agents to fix bugs, implement features, enhance performance, address security concerns, improve code quality, and increase test coverage. The Product Manager will report to the Product Lead and will be based in San Francisco, CA, with a hybrid work model. For those within commuting distance of Vercel offices (SF, NY, London, or Berlin), in-office days are Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. Remote work is an option for those located further away. Specific location details can be discussed with the recruiting team.
