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)
