Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer, a technical leader on the Platform Engineering team, designing multi-region, high-availability AWS infrastructure for payments. Work covers Terraform-managed environments, GitOps and CI/CD, private low-latency connectivity, and incident management. Stack includes Kubernetes/EKS, Docker, Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry.
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.

As a Senior Staff Infrastructure Engineer, you will serve as a technical leader on our Platform Engineering team. You will architect, scale, and fortify global cloud infrastructure designed to handle mission-critical, high-throughput payments applications with zero downtime. You will take ownership of key platform foundations powering our core payments infrastructure. Rather than executing against a rigid task list or holding blanket ownership over the entire platform, you will drive the technical strategy, 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 entire 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.
