What does a work environment look like at Vouch?

Vouch has employees across the U.S., with offices in San Francisco, Chicago, and New York City. This role is aligned to our Chicago office. While this role has hybrid work flexibility, we require team members to be in the office at least three days per week to foster close collaboration and team building.

What You’ll Do:

- Design and build the platform that exposes Vouch's domain operations: backend services, data platforms and salesforce — as deterministic, well-typed, auditable tools for both autonomous AI agents and human-built skills.

- Implement reliable tool and data-access primitives: well-bounded interfaces, filtering constraints, normalized data contracts, auth/permissions, observability, and eval harness.

- Design APIs, event flows, and service contracts that let agents and human workflows interact with operational systems without becoming brittle.

- Help evolve the experience surfaces our brokers and clients use every day: component library, AI-assisted prototyping, and design ↔ engineering collaboration patterns — partnering with design, product, and engineering peers.

- Contribute to the development of AI-enabled workflows and agent infrastructure, ensuring systems remain predictable, auditable, and production-ready.

- Work directly with real-world operational data across Postgres, Snowflake, S3, and design access patterns usable by both product workflows and agent systems.

About You:

- Strong software engineering fundamentals, including API design, tool/contract design, data modeling, and building reliable production services.

- Systems thinker who naturally reasons about service boundaries, coupling, and long-term maintainability.
