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 modern 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.

In this role, you will work across the payments and banking industry to deliver products in the service of technologists on both sides of the network.
You must be willing to drive technical rigor at the lowest level.
Product Strategy & Discovery: Meet with banks, processors, customers, partners, and engineering leaders to map complex technical problems to business needs. Define technical requirements, prioritize features, and create roadmaps that align with business objectives. Manage complex implementation rollouts that span multiple continents to modernize banking, acquiring, and similar use-cases.

and the business stakeholders that manage the finances.
Experience: 10+ years of experience in payments technology as a software engineer, product manager, or related functions. Must have experience launching new initiatives that involve designing and building APIs, O11y, private networking, enterprise authentication systems, and other software developer-related technologies.

It is required that you have deep knowledge related to one of these technologies in a way that is pertinent to payments messaging.
Technical Conviction: You have strong, well-founded opinions on software architecture. You are willing to advocate for systems that can be operationalized via configuration by an implementation/product team such that software systems do not require engineers to make minor changes on a per-implementation basis.
Communication Skills: This position involves communicating new ideas to prospects, customers, executives, GTM leaders, and implementation teams. This includes writing technical documentation that is ready to be published online and that can be included in technical RFP presentations.
Born Inventor: You love designing and building. Your house is likely full of projects that you have figured out and put together from scratch.
Abstract Problem Solver: When faced with a problem set,
you break it down into the conceptual “building blocks” and solve the meta problem, not just the problem right in front of you.
Technical Optimism: You view technical blockers as the list of steps that need to be taken in order to accomplish the goal.
