Engineering Opportunities
Ready to build something that makes a difference?
You're in the right place. We build the infrastructure that keeps payment data safe. When you tap your card, log into a bank app, or check out online, there's a good chance a token created by our platform is standing in for your real card number somewhere in that transaction. We hold over 9 billion of those tokens and process 10 billion interactions a month. Fortune 500 banks, fintechs, AI tech companies, and merchants build on top of what we build.
We're not just securing payments. We're empowering businesses to unlock new possibilities in an ever-evolving payment landscape, from streamlining compliance to enabling smarter, faster innovation. Working at this scale, with this level of trust, is what pushes us to keep raising the bar, and it's why we need engineers who are ready to do the same.
Ready to shape the future of payments?
Joining the team
Our remote-first engineering team builds and evolves the infrastructure that makes all of this possible: systems that are secure by default, scale to handle billions of sensitive transactions, and give our customers the tools to move fast without ever compromising trust. This isn't abstract work. Every system we build carries real weight, protecting real data for real companies, every single day.
We look for engineers who are naturally curious, unafraid of hard problems, and motivated by the chance to build something that matters at scale. In return, we offer real ownership, technical depth, and a team that pushes you to keep getting better, the same way we push our platform to keep getting better.
What Engineers Work On
Our engineering team builds the product and infrastructure that powers Fortune 500, innovative AI, and big tech companies needing a payments solution that integrates seamlessly in their stack. The work spans a few core areas:
Software Engineering
The APIs, SDKs, and tools that let customers integrate tokenization, card management, and payment orchestration directly into their own products.
Platform & Infrastructure
The core systems that tokenize, store, and secure sensitive payment data across every major processor and network. This is the foundation on which everything else is built.
Data & Reliability
Keeping a platform deployed in multiple geographies and accessible from any corner of the world.
Security & Compliance Systems
Designed to be secure by default and compliant by design, meeting standards like PCI DSS and ISO 27001, without slowing our customers down.

A note from our Co-Founder
VGS was born in a cafe in downtown San Francisco. Ten years ago, we were two engineering leaders who had just exited our YC-backed company to Stripe. Looking for new challenges, we worked alongside early customers to rethink how sensitive data flows across the web, developing our tokenization and vaulting architecture from scratch.
Today, VGS powers payments infrastructure for the world’s most recognizable brands, holding 9 billion records in our vaults and handling 10 billion events every month. Operating at this scale is a profound responsibility. We build VGS with high-agency engineers who want ownership, leverage, and hard problems. If you’re an ambitious builder ready to shape global payments infrastructure, come build the future with us.
