About Vercel:
Vercel is the agentic infrastructure company, freeing people and agents to ship what's next. For more than a decade we've helped builders move from idea to production with speed, security, and exceptional developer experience.
Now we're scaling our products for both agents and people to ship and run software, built in the open and trusted by OpenAI, PayPal, Ramp, Supreme, and millions of developers worldwide.
About the role
As an Account Executive on the Startups team, you’ll land net-new startup customers and help them adopt Vercel through scaling, working with founders and technical leaders who are making critical architectural decisions. You’ll generate your own pipeline, spot high-potential startups early, and make Vercel their default stack before competitors get in. The main focus is turning early plays into repeatable playbooks that scale across our startup portfolio, using automation and agents to work at high leverage.

- Guide teams adopting AI-native architectures and show how Vercel supports new workloads, performance requirements, and scaling patterns
- Build automations, agents, and workflows to focus your time on the highest-impact customer work, and turn what works into repeatable playbooks
What you need
- 2+ years of experience closing deals
- Owned revenue outcomes across a range of deal sizes and complexities
- Worked with founders and technical leaders at companies from pre-seed through Series D
- Can explain how modern web and AI-native applications are built and scaled, including frontend performance and scaling tradeoffs
Bonus if you
- Have built, founded, or engineered software, or worked in a technical go-to-market role
- Have helped grow an early sales motion into a structured one
Benefits:
