About VGS
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.
That's where VGS comes in. 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. That scale isn't incidental. 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.
Come build the platform that enables modern payments for the world's largest companies. We're helping businesses unlock new possibilities in an industry that never stops moving. And that takes exceptional people.
About the Role
VGS is looking for an experienced payments nerd who is passionate about understanding the inner workings of payment stacks and who, in a single day, can earn a prospect CTO's trust, map a complex payment flow with an existing customer payments leader, and work directly with VGS product and implementation engineers to design secure, scalable integrations.
We are seeking a Solutions Architect with a solid software engineering background who excels at aligning technical strategy with business goals. You will collaborate closely with prospective and existing clients to understand their needs and translate technology into tangible business value, partnering with payment companies and enterprise merchants on complex challenges in global payment infrastructure, processor connectivity, credential portability, tokenization, and sensitive payment data.
You will work closely with Sales and Account Management throughout the deal lifecycle, and with Product and Engineering to shape both our roadmap and go-to-market strategy based on what you learn in the field.
