About the role

The majority of this role is hands-on technical work: debugging, troubleshooting network and integration issues, onboarding new customers, and resolving tickets.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years in Technical Support, Solutions Engineering, Technical Account Management, or Technical Project Management — with at least some of it in a senior or lead capacity
  • Experience owning customer-facing incident or maintenance communication. You will be writing status page updates, incident notices, and escalation emails. You understand the difference between transparency and alarm
  • Autonomy. You are comfortable deciding and then reporting, rather than checking first. You'll have a few hours of overlap with your manager each day and spend the rest of your shift as the main decision-maker
  • Strong command of HTTP, REST APIs, and proxies
  • Independent network debugging — DNS, TCP/IP, routing, connectivity, TLS/SSL handshakes. Be ready to describe a specific problem you diagnosed and how you narrowed it down
  • English at C1 or above, written and spoken. You'll be writing text that customers and executives read, under time pressure
More about this role

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.
