Design Engineering at Vercel

We collaborate on everything because of each person’s unique background and skills. While each person can execute independently, we’ve found that our best work is done through collaboration. None of us is process/tools-driven. We care about the outcome, not the process/tool.

I kinda like this nebulous definition and approach to “design engineer”:

Interested? We’re hiring Design Engineers. Apply even if you’ve never had the Design Engineer title. As you’ve read, there’s no correct background or skills for a Design Engineer.

I like that — “there’s no correct background”. Just a desire to build a great, coherent product. That means considering all cross-disciplinary elements: color, typography, code, performance, accessibility, copy, graphics, storytelling, and more. Knowing and appreciating all of these — and understanding who on your team can help you deliver each — is an essential part of the job.
