VGS is building the trust infrastructure for a new era of commerce. As commerce becomes agentic, payments are increasing dramatically in volume, speed, and complexity, and the companies driving that shift need a foundation they can fully trust. We're the world's leader in payment tokenization, trusted by the most innovative AI and Fortune 500 companies, merchants, banks, and fintechs to power contemporary payments and agentic commerce.

We store more than 9 billion tokens and process more than 10 billion monthly interactions, touching a third of all e-commerce. It's why leading companies embed our universal token vault and credential management platform directly into their stack, taming the complexity of payment data so they can move faster. We're helping businesses unlock new possibilities in an industry that never stops moving.

Trusted Engineering That Matters

Engineering at VGS VGS is building the platform powering agentic commerce and global payments infrastructure. VGS Engineering is the pillar that supports that vision. We create a platform that is an indispensable, ubiquitous component of our partners' payments and security infrastructure. We build and operate high-scale, reliable, and resilient systems that manage mission-critical payment data across the globe. AWS, Kubernetes, Java, TypeScript, Python) and world-class AI-augmented SDLC tooling.

Ownership of Outcomes: Scaling global payments infrastructure requires individuals who take personal ownership of outcomes from day one. We don't treat compliance (PCI, SOC2, ISO27001), security patching, and platform maintenance as administrative overhead—we engineer them with first-class product discipline. In payments infrastructure, reliability is not background work, it’s part of what customers buy.

You will take ownership of key platform foundations powering our core payments infrastructure.

Rather than executing against a rigid task list, you will drive the execution, architecture, and reliability standards for your designated domains within our multi-region AWS environment. We are looking for high-agency engineers who want to own complex distributed system challenges end-to-end and elevate how the engineering team operates. If you thrive on solving complex distributed systems problems, building automated resiliency, and driving modern SRE practices, we want to build the future with you.

Design, build, and optimize multi-region, high-availability AWS infrastructure. You will execute our evolution from hand-crafted environments to a standardized, globally scalable fleet managed entirely through code.

Drive Resiliency & Automation: Replace manual toil with self-healing, automated infrastructure using GitOps, modern CI/CD pipelines, and IaC. Force-Multiply Engineering Velocity: Partner closely with Product, Security, and Core Engineering teams to implement "Golden Paths" that strip away friction for feature teams. You will influence engineering practices within your domain and mentor engineers on how to move fast with high alignment.

Customer Impact: Implement and operate high-performance, low-latency private connectivity to optimize the experience for external customers. Partner with internal engineering teams at the design level for platform enablement and adoption.

Ownership at Scale: 7+ years of experience taking personal ownership of outcomes in complex,



large-scale distributed systems within mission-critical environments. AWS & Infrastructure-as-Code: Strong proficiency in AWS ecosystems leveraging Terraform to build reproducible environments. Strong coding skills in Python, Go, or Bash to automate infrastructure and build operational tools.

Security & Networking Foundations: Solid understanding of cloud security, API Gateways, load balancing, and network isolation, viewing security as a fundamental engineering constraint, not an afterthought.

Experience managing distributed data streaming platforms like Kafka (MSK). Database performance tuning and query optimization skills. Familiarity with Java / Spring Framework services. $At VGS, we embrace a remote-first philosophy because we believe flexibility leads to great work and a healthy work-life balance.

That said, if you live within 30 miles of one of our office locations, you'll be on a hybrid schedule with some in-person time, because we know there's real value in coming together. We're not about being in the office every day. We are about connection, collaboration, and the energy that comes from a great brainstorm, a team lunch, or celebrating a big win in person.
