Developer Advocate

Vouched is the identity trust layer for businesses that need to know who they are dealing with across every touchpoint, every interaction, and every channel. We deliver consumer-grade technology built for the future of identity, enabling businesses to verify the people they serve through a full spectrum of methods: physical IDs, Digital IDs, and consumerized AI agents. Our platform is obsessed with the consumer experience: fast, intuitive, and built to meet people where they are.

Identity used to be a solved problem at the front door such as verifying the human once, letting them in, and you're done. That world is over. Today, AI agents browse your site, call your APIs, and initiate transactions using real user credentials, acting on behalf of humans who may have no idea what their agent is doing 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.

On the human side, Vouched verifies identity across every stage of the customer lifecycle establishing trust at account creation for patients registering for portals, clinicians onboarding to health systems, and loan applicants opening new accounts; matching verified identity signals to existing records to eliminate duplicate medical histories and fragmented patient data; and stepping up re-verification at moments of elevated risk, such as confirming a patient's identity before an opioid prescription is dispensed or authenticating a customer before a high-dollar wire transfer clears.

On the agent side, Vouched's Know Your Agent (KYA) product is building the trust infrastructure for the agentic web. KYA operates across three layers. Agent Checkpoint is the detection and authentication layer, an SDK that sits at the edge of any platform, identifies agent traffic in real time, validates the agent's authorization chain back to a verified human, and flags anomalous or unauthorized behavior. KYA-OS is our open agentic identity standard, defining how agents declare themselves, how authorization is delegated from human to agent, and how trust is established and revoked across systems. KnowThat.ai and IdentiClaw are the developer-facing community tools that bring builders into the KYA ecosystem, with sandboxes, education, and the on-ramps developers need to understand and adopt agentic identity before it becomes a crisis. 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?

Our ambition is to serve businesses of all categories. Vouched already serves customers in fintech, auto, notary, and other verticals. Our conviction is that as the waves of Digital ID, Agentic ID, and increasing deepfake threats advance, every business in every industry will need the identity solutions provided by Vouched for the humans they serve today, and the agents those humans will deploy tomorrow.

About the Role

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.

KYA launched in May 2025 via a product-led growth motion, developer-first, community-driven, and designed for bottom-up adoption across every industry touched by the agentic economy. 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. Over 200 developers have already engaged with the KYA ecosystem, and active partnership conversations are in flight with organizations across financial services, identity standards bodies, and enterprise technology.

We need a Developer Advocate who lives at the intersection of AI, security, and innovations in technology to make KYA the default answer for any developer asking how to handle agentic traffic. This is a founding DevRel role. You will build the playbook while simultaneously executing on it. You'll be remote but based in the SF Bay Area, where the agent builder community is dense and developer events take place daily.

What You'll 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.

Requirements

• You have built or deployed AI agents and demonstrate a mastery level of knowledge in supporting an agent ecosystem. Our audience will trust someone who is building alongside them.
• You understand web security at a working level: sessions, credentials, WAFs, bot detection, and why agent traffic breaks existing assumptions.
• You write code and prose with equal comfort. A quickstart guide and a conference talk are both in your wheelhouse.
• You have earned credibility in a developer community before, through open source, speaking, writing, or just being the person people ask.
• 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.

Bonus:

• 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: $135k-$155k OTE

You must be based in the SF Bay Area (US work authorization required)
