## Job Description
## What you’ll do
- Lead and grow the Verifications engineering team — setting technical direction, driving performance and career development conversations, and building a hiring pipeline that strengthens the team over time
- Own the reliability and quality of a broad portfolio of fulfillment integrations — partnering closely with vendors and internal stakeholders to reduce friction, improve turnaround times, and minimize candidate and customer impact when issues arise
- Partner with Product to define and execute the roadmap across employment, education, drug and health, and compliance products — translating customer and regulatory requirements into clear engineering priorities
- Drive technical strategy for scaling a complex, integration-heavy system — making deliberate architecture decisions that improve coverage, reduce manual exceptions, and build toward a more automated and consistent verification experience
- Lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices — helping engineers move faster while maintaining the quality and accuracy standards that a regulated, data-sensitive product requires
- Represent Verifications in cross-functional planning — serving as the engineering voice on team capacity, tradeoffs, and roadmap sequencing with Product, Compliance, and Engineering leadership

## What you bring
- 4+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams
- 8+ years as a software engineer, with strong command of service architecture, distributed systems, and system design
- Experience managing complex third-party integration environments — comfortable owning reliability across systems you don’t fully control, and know how to structure teams and processes around that reality
- A track record of improving operational metrics — reducing incident frequency, improving detection time, or shipping reliability improvements in high-stakes production environments
- Familiarity with AI-assisted development and agentic coding tools — understand how to help your team adopt these responsibly and can reason about the tradeoffs between velocity and quality they introduce
- Experience working on regulated products where data accuracy and legal compliance are non-negotiable
- Strong incident management skills — lead both the technical response and the stakeholder communication when things go wrong
- Ability to make prioritization decisions quickly, with a clear framework for balancing short-term reliability work against longer-term product investments
- Strong communication skills across technical and non-technical stakeholders — Product, Operations, Compliance, and senior leadership
- A genuine investment in developing people — through career conversations, stretch assignments, and creating conditions for engineers to grow
- Humility, openness to feedback, and eagerness to learn
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes

## What We Offer
- A fast-paced and collaborative environment
- Learning and development allowance
- Competitive cash and equity compensation, and opportunity for advancement
- 100% medical, dental, and vision coverage
- Up to $25K reimbursement for fertility, adoption, and parental planning services
- Flexible PTO policy
- Monthly wellness stipend
- In-office work environment at hub locations (Denver, CO; San Francisco, CA; Nashville, TN; Santiago, Chile) — expected 3+ days a week in office
- In-office perks: lunch five times a week, commuter stipend, snacks and beverages
- Relocation stipend may be available for those willing to relocate to a Checkr hub location
