Product Manager

Who you are

• 3+ years as a Product Manager, with prior experience in a technically hands-on role—solutions engineering, technical account management, integration engineering, or software engineering—within payments, fintech, or API platforms
• Direct experience delivering APIs, SDKs, or protocols in a partner-facing capacity; including real-time integration debugging and designing reporting, observability, and similar systems
• Genuine, demonstrated interest in AI/agentic systems—side projects, contributions, or professional work exploring how AI agents interact with external systems
• Comfortable moving between deeply technical partner engineering conversations and executive/go-to-market conversations about strategy and roadmap
• You've spent years sitting at the intersection of technical specs and business relationships, including interpreting protocol docs, negotiating requirements with vendors and partners, and translating product ideas into a deliverable roadmap
• Drawn to agentic commerce because it's genuinely unsolved, not just because it's trendy
• You can hold your own in a technical design review, and confidently define the differences between various agentic protocols, understand API specs across vendors, and create easy-to-use interfaces to solve underlying technical problems rather than passing them to the end-consumer
• Experience with tokenization, payment processing, or security products
• BA/BS degree
• A knack for out-of-the-box thinking that thrives in a fast-paced startup environment
• Prior work with AI agent frameworks, LLM tooling, or agent-to-agent protocols

What the job involves

• In this role, you will work with the world’s largest wallets, card networks, and AI/agent platforms. This includes coordinating directly with the networks (Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover), and emerging AI commerce and agent-payments providers. You will be focusing on building seamless token APIs, defining and implementing protocols, and trust frameworks that let agents pay securely on behalf of humans. This industry is evolving before our eyes, and you will define what "agent-ready" payments infrastructure looks like before the rest of the industry has agreed on the answer
• Work directly with partner engineering teams (networks, wallets, AI platforms) to translate emerging standards like Agentic Tokens, ACP, UCP, MPP, etc. into concrete product requirements and roadmaps
• Own and drive multi-partner technical integrations end-to-end, working closely alongside partner engineers beyond simply handing off specifications
• Represent VGS in emerging standards conversations, helping define how agent-initiated transactions are authorized, tokenized, and secured across networks
• Design browser automation tooling that allows AI systems to perform human-like interactions while keeping the AI system out of scope
• Help build a product point of view on how agentic commerce should work technically, and use that conviction to influence partners and internal engineering roadmaps
• Understand, integrate with, and build on top of existing VGS tokenization and payments infrastructure
