• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, graduating between December 2025 and May 2027.

What’s unique about VGS

• We’re a quickly scaling company with a startup mindset.
• We love to empower our people to take ownership! You’ll find you are given the freedom and will own the responsibility to be successful here. 
• We’re creating a remote-first philosophy. You’ll have a strong impact on a new cultural shift within the company.

At VGS, we have a remote-first philosophy because we believe flexibility leads to great work and a healthy work-life balance. That said, if you live within 30 miles of one of our office locations, you’ll be on a hybrid schedule with some in-person time—because we know there’s real value in coming together.

We’re not about being in the office every day—but we are about connection, collaboration, and the energy that comes from a great brainstorm, a team lunch, or celebrating a big win in person.

We consider applicants without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, veteran status, marital status, physical or mental disability, or other protected classes under all local, state, and federal laws and ordinances (AA/EOE/W/M/Vet/Disabled).

Qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records will be considered for the position in accordance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance.

VGS will not be able to provide any kind of employment sponsorship at this time.
