Job description

Vouched is the identity trust layer for businesses that need to know who they are dealing with, across every touchpoint, transaction, and channel. We verify the people our customers serve through a full spectrum of methods: physical IDs, Digital IDs, and AI agents acting on behalf of consumers. We power identity verification for healthcare, financial services, and a growing list of industries, with hundreds of customers and verifications running at scale every day.
AI agents now browse your site, call your APIs, and transact in your app using real user credentials - looking exactly like humans. Most companies have no idea it's happening. Agent Checkpoint, Vouched's Know Your Agent (KYA) product, changes that: one SDK install and you can see every agent on your platform, who authorized it, and what it's doing.
Identity used to be a front-door problem - verify the human once, let them in, done. That world is over. Today, agents act on behalf of humans who may have no idea what's being done in their name. Vouched was built for both worlds: the human identity problem that has always existed, and the agent identity problem that is just beginning.
This year we launched Vouched's Know Your Agent (KYA) suite of solutions, building the trust infrastructure for the agentic web, operating on three layers:
  • Agent Checkpoint (including our own SDK)
  • KYA-OS (our own open agentic identity standard)
  • KnowThat.ai and IdentiClaw (developer-facing community tools)

Together, these form the stack that answers the question every business will eventually have to ask: is the entity I'm dealing with a human, an authorized agent, or something I should never have let in?
See our full documentation here, and learn more about our partnership with the Decentralized Identity Foundation!
The Opportunity
Just as Plaid became the trust layer between consumers and their financial data, Vouched is building KYA to become the trust layer between consumers and the agents acting in their name. KYA launched in May 2025 via a product-led growth motion (developer-first, community-driven) and over 200 developers have already engaged. This is a founding DevRel role: you'll build the playbook while simultaneously executing it, based in the SF Bay Area, where the agent builder community is dense and developer events take place daily.
What You Will Do
  • Own the developer narrative for KYA: launch posts, conference talks, demo videos, hackathons, and integration guides.
  • Build, grow, and maintain Vouched's presence within online developer communities and social media platforms
  • Represent Vouched at SF Bay Area developer events, AI meetups, and security conferences
  • Cultivate relationships with the agent builder community: framework maintainers, MCP ecosystem contributors, and the developers shipping production agents today
  • Evangelize KYA-OS (our agentic identity standard), KnowThat.ai, and IdentiClaw as the trust infrastructure stack for the agentic web
  • Run the feedback loop between the developer community and the product team: what's confusing, what's missing, what developers are trying to build that KYA should support. You help us bridge the gap between what our future customers want and what we ship
  • Grow free tier adoption into a commercial funnel: track activation, spot expansion signals, and collaborate with sales on qualified handoffs
  • Build and maintain quickstarts and code samples across the frameworks and architecture developers actually use: Next.js, Express, Python, HTML, and direct API integrations.

Success will be measured by your ability to drive increased brand awareness for Vouched and our Know Your Agent solutions, especially within the developer community. This role is about building the Vouched brand as well as your own. Within year one:
  • Any developer asking an AI assistant how to detect or manage agent traffic gets KYA as the answer
  • KYA has a recognized presence in the MCP and agent builder communities - maintainers know us, integrations exist, developers recommend us to each other
  • Grow free tier activation MoM with demonstrated free-to-paid conversions
  • Position KYA as a credible open standard, with Vouched visibly authoring and championing it
  • Participate in at least three speaking engagements at conferences and meetups, with those activities generating inbound developer interest

Requirements
  • Experience building or deploying AI agents with a mastery level of knowledge in supporting an agent ecosystem
  • Working level understanding of web security: sessions, credentials, WAFs, bot detection, and why agent traffic breaks existing assumptions
  • Ability to write code and content with equal comfort; a quickstart and a conference talk are both in your wheelhouse
  • You are energized by a category that doesn't fully exist yet; you can explain why agentic traffic detection matters before the developer has heard the term
  • Based in the SF Bay Area: active participation in local developer events is a core part of this role

Nice to Have
  • Actively contributing code to open source projects within the ML/agentic space
  • Experience speaking at conferences or meetups in the agentic space
  • Familiarity with decentralized identity concepts such as DIDs, Verifiable Credentials, W3C standards is a strong plus

Benefits
  • Equity compensation
  • Remote-first environment
  • Flexible PTO and 11+ annual company holidays
  • 401k
  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Wellness benefits (EAP, LifeHealth Online, One Medical, Perkpot)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Pay scale: $180k-$200k OTE

Vouched is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to building an inclusive team.
This is a remote role. However, you must be based in the SF Bay Area (US work authorization is required).
