Vercel, Hybrid - San Francisco, New York City, Austin +1
As a Head of Solutions Architecture for startups, you’ll build and lead the technical sales organization behind our relationships with the startups shaping how web and AI products get built. These teams ship on Vercel’s core platform, Next.js, and our AI stack, and the decisions made in their first architecture review often determine how far they scale with us.
You’ll lead a global team of Solutions Architects in our Startups sales organization, set the technical bar across the deal cycle, coach through strategic accounts and critical deals, and step in yourself when it matters most: architecture reviews, migration plans, and high-stakes presentations. You’ll turn patterns from the field into repeatable plays, carry what startups tell you back to engineering so it shows up in the product, and own org planning, staffing, budgeting, and recruiting as you scale the team this segment needs.
This is a hybrid role with 3 in-office days per week in San Francisco, Austin, or New York City.
The San Francisco, CA OTE pay range for this position is $382,000 - $485,000 OTE. Actual salary will be based on job-related skills, experience, and location. Compensation outside of San Francisco may be adjusted based on employee location. The total compensation package may include benefits, equity-based compensation, and eligibility for a company bonus or variable pay program depending on the role. Your recruiter can share more details during the hiring process.
