We’re looking for an experienced Senior Technical Recruiter to join VGS on a 6–12 month contract and help support our growing Engineering organization. This person will own a portfolio of technical roles end-to-end and partner closely with hiring managers to identify, engage, and close exceptional talent.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities move quickly and recruiters are expected to operate with a high level of ownership and autonomy. Depending on VGS's growth trajectory and hiring needs, there is potential for this position to convert to a full-time role.

What You’ll Do

  • Own full-cycle recruiting across multiple technical roles, from kickoff and sourcing through offer and close
  • Partner closely with Engineering leaders and hiring managers to define profiles, develop recruiting strategies, and keep searches moving
  • Proactively source and engage highly qualified passive technical talent
  • Conduct recruiter screens and effectively assess both technical alignment and overall fit
  • Manage multiple searches and competing priorities in a fast-moving environment
  • Create a strong candidate experience throughout the entire interview process
  • Use recruiting data and funnel metrics to identify challenges and adjust search strategies
  • Maintain accurate candidate and requisition data within our ATS
  • Help improve recruiting processes, interview practices, and hiring efficiency as we scale

What You Bring

  • 5+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, with a strong focus on technical/engineering hiring
  • Proven experience recruiting for roles such as Software Engineering, Infrastructure, SRE, Platform Engineering, or other highly technical positions
  • Experience working in a fast-paced startup, high-growth technology company, or similarly dynamic environment is required
  • Strong sourcing skills and demonstrated ability to identify and engage passive technical talent
  • Comfortable independently managing multiple searches at different stages
  • Strong hiring manager partnership and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to move quickly, adapt to changing priorities, and operate with limited oversight
  • Excellent communication, organization, and candidate management skills

Nice to Have:

  • 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
  • Experience with Lever is highly preferred

We're looking for passionate professionals who take pride in their craft and want to help grow a team tackling some of the most critical problems in payments. People who thrive here are curious by nature, unafraid of hard problems, and motivated by the chance to build something that matters at scale.

If you're driven to make a meaningful impact, work at the leading edge of payment technology, and grow your career alongside a team that values ownership, collaboration, and continuous learning, you'll feel right at home at VGS.

View Company Profile

Very Good Security (operating at verygoodsecurity.com) is a payment tokenization and credential management platform engineered for secure data protection in high-stakes financial transactions. Founded in 2015 and headquartered in San Francisco, Very Good Security specializes in eliminating exposure to sensitive payment and identity data—a critical gap in traditional systems where raw cardholder information remains vulnerable. Under the hood, the company’s **VGS Vault** leverages proprietary tokenization technology, replacing sensitive data with unique, non-sensitive tokens that retain functionality without compromising security. This allows Fortune 500 merchants, fintechs, and banks to process transactions, authenticate users, and manage credentials without ever handling or storing actual card numbers or PII. The result is a zero-data approach that balances compliance (e.g., PCI DSS) with operational efficiency, reducing fraud risks while enabling seamless integrations. Backed by a $104M funding round spanning five rounds—including a $60M Series C led by Vertex Ventures US—the platform is trusted by global enterprises to future-proof their payment ecosystems against evolving cyber threats.

Safety First

  • Never pay for a job application.
  • Do not share sensitive bank info.
  • Verify the client before starting work.
