About the role

The Verifications team is responsible for one of Checkr's most expansive product portfolios, an ever growing suite of screening products empowering informed decisions across our enterprise customers. Employment and education verifications, drug and occupational health screenings, reference checks, and right-to-work – are several of the products this team improves to drive growth and customer retention. Our customers place candidates into widely different roles, industries, and regulatory environments, each with distinct compliance and screening requirements, necessitating rapid product iteration across multiple fronts concurrently.

As Engineering Manager for Verifications, you'll own a wide surface area with meaningful room to make it better — improving accuracy and turnaround time, reducing manual touchpoints, and scaling how the team delivers across a complex mix of fulfillment integrations and compliance requirements. This role requires a focus on both immediate system scalability and long-term delivery process refinement. This includes near-term work on scaling data quality and automation systems to handle rapid growth, alongside strategic, longer-horizon investments in expanding coverage and building a faster, more consistent verification experience for our rapidly scaling candidate and customer base.

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 — you’re 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 — you 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 — you can 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: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes

What you’ll get

• A fast-paced and collaborative environment
• Learning and development allowance
• Competitive 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, home office stipend

Equal Employment Opportunities at Checkr

Checkr is committed to building the best product and company, which requires hiring talented and qualified individuals with a diverse set of perspectives and lived experiences. Checkr believes in hiring people of all backgrounds, including those whose histories are impacted by the justice system in accordance with local, state, and/or federal laws, including the San Francisco’s Fair Chance Ordinance.

About the team/role

We’re hiring an ML Engineer (P2) to build and ship the AI systems that power Checkr’s core products. This role sits on the ML team inside Checkr’s Data & ML organization within Engineering.

Checkr runs millions of background checks a year. The ML team builds the systems that make those checks faster, more accurate, and cheaper to operate: document processing, charge classification, entity resolution, and in-product intelligence. These are production services that Product Engineering depends on daily.

This is not a research role or a notebook role. You’ll own ML services end-to-end: design them, code them, deploy them, monitor them. We need someone who writes production software, builds with LLMs and APIs as first-class tools, and can tell the difference between working code and AI slop. If you’ve spent the last few years building AI-native software and you care deeply about engineering craft, we want to talk.

This role sits in the central Data & ML team within the Engineering organization. You will partner daily with Product Engineering, Product, and cross-functional teams. You’ll also contribute to Checkr’s broader AI strategy, including our initiative to deploy our agentic fleet and build scalable context with our semantic layer.

We are looking for someone based in San Francisco who has built ML systems in fast-moving, impact-first environments. Less process, more shipping. Less paperwork, more results.

What you’ll do

• Build and deploy ML/AI services. Design, develop, and ship ML models and AI systems that Product Engineering teams rely on. You write the model code, the API layer, the monitoring, and the tests. Not notebooks; production services.
• Design with LLMs and APIs. Use LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) as building blocks in production systems. You know when to call an LLM, when to fine-tune, when to use a classical model, and when to write a rule. You think about cost, latency, and quality together.
• Ship production software. Write clean, well-structured code with solid OOP, proper abstractions, error handling, and tests. Your code gets reviewed by SWEs and passes. CI/CD is how you work, not something you bolt on at the end.
• Partner with product and engineering. Translate business problems into ML solutions. Define API contracts with product engineers. Explain your approach clearly to non-ML partners and leave the room with alignment, not confusion.
• Evaluate and iterate fast. Build evaluation frameworks, run experiments, and make data-driven decisions about model and system performance. Ship and iterate; don’t wait for perfect.
• Ship AI-powered workflows. Put AI to work on your own processes: automate pipelines, build agentic workflows, and contribute reusable skills and context to Checkr’s agentic platform. The expectation is that our teams operate AI-first.

What you bring

• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent depth from experience
• 4+ years building software professionally, with at least 2 of those building ML systems that run in production
• Strong Python fluency; you write clean, testable, well-structured code with solid OOP instincts. Not scripts; software
• Hands-on experience using LLM APIs in production systems: prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling, cost management, and evaluation
• You’ve built and maintained APIs, worked with CI/CD pipelines, and shipped code that other engineers depend on
• Comfortable with distributed systems concepts: queues, async processing, caching, horizontal scaling
• Experience with NLP tasks in production: classification, extraction, entity resolution, summarization
• Comfort with and enthusiasm for AI-assisted workflows; experience using LLMs, code-generation tools, or agentic systems in production or operational contexts is a strong signal
• You can evaluate tradeoffs: fine-tune vs. prompt, hosted vs. self-deployed, classical ML vs. LLM, rule vs. model
• Strong communication skills; you explain technical decisions clearly to engineers and non-engineers alike, without hiding behind jargon
• You use AI tools (Copilot, Claude, etc.) to move faster, but you understand every line they produce. You can spot AI slop and you don’t ship it
• An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes.

Nice to have

• Experience with MLOps platforms (MLflow, SageMaker, Vertex, or similar)
• Background in document processing, OCR, or information extraction
• Experience with PySpark or large-scale data processing
• Ruby experience (Checkr’s platform runs on Rails)
• Familiarity with compliance-sensitive domains (fintech, legal tech, HR tech)
• Working knowledge of dbt, Snowflake, or modern ELT/data transformation tools

What you’ll get

• A fast-paced, low-bureaucracy environment where shipping matters more than process
• Direct exposure to executive and C-level decision-making
• A seat on the Data & ML team shaping Checkr’s AI strategy
• 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

We're hiring a Senior Manager to lead two connected missions inside Checkr's Data & ML organization: (1) own the quantitative backbone of Checkr's revenue and financial data, and (2) accelerate growth, including self-serve SMB, product, pricing & packaging, etc., business through data science and experimentation.

This role owns the data science function that drives Checkr's growth across all levers: sales, product, planning, pricing, and packaging. That means forecasting and revenue models, cost and billing data products, unit economics, experimentation, activation and conversion analytics, and the quantitative inputs that shape how we package and price. These are the sources of truth our C-staff, Finance, and Product teams rely on to make decisions.

The mandate is broad on purpose. Growth at Checkr doesn't live in a single segment or motion; it spans self-serve SMB, enterprise expansion, and strategic finance. We believe there is significant untapped upside, and you will build and run the team that finds and captures it

This role sits in the central Data & ML team within the Engineering organization. You will partner daily with Engineering, Product, RevOps, Marketing, Finance, and Executive teams. You'll also be a member of the Data & ML leadership team, which means you'll be directly involved in shaping Checkr's AI strategy, including our initiative to deploy our agentic fleet and build scalable context with our semantic layer.

We are looking for someone based in San Francisco who has built and run data teams in fast-moving, impact-first environments. Less process, more shipping / less paperwork, more results.

What you’ll do

• Build and run the team. Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing group of data scientists and analysts across Revenue and Growth; set clear expectations, coach directly, and create an environment where strong ICs do their best work.
• Own the revenue data layer. Drive the roadmap for financial data science: revenue forecasting models, cost and billing data products, reconciliation pipelines, and Exec dashboards that our C-staff and board rely on for planning and strategy.
• Accelerate SMB growth. Lead the PLG data science push: experimentation, activation, and conversion analytics, package and pricing optimization, and propensity models that move self-serve revenue.
• Partner with Finance and Growth leadership. Be the go-to quantitative thought leader for the CFO org and Product leadership team; translate complex modeling work into clear recommendations that shape our roadmaps.
• Ship AI-powered workflows. Put AI to work on your team's processes: automate analytical pipelines, build agentic workflows for recurring analyses, and contribute reusable skills and context to Checkr's agentic platform. The expectation is that our teams operate AI-first.
• Raise the technical bar. Set and enforce standards for modeling rigor, data quality, pipeline reliability, and production-readiness. Your team's outputs inform board-level financial decisions; accuracy and trust are the baseline.

What you bring

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitative field (Statistics, CS, Economics, Math, Engineering) or equivalent depth from experience
• 10+ years in data science, analytics, or quantitative roles, with clear progression in scope and impact
• 4-7+ years of direct people management, with demonstrated ability to hire strong talent and develop ICs into high performers
• Deep SQL and Python fluency; hands-on experience with modern ELT/data transformation tools (dbt, Snowflake, or equivalent); working knowledge of ML and forecasting methods
• Comfort with and enthusiasm for AI-assisted workflows; experience using LLMs, code-generation tools, or agentic systems in production or operational contexts is a strong signal
• Track record of building and executing a multi-quarter roadmap for a data science function, with clear line-of-sight to business outcomes
• Strong executive communication skills; you can present complex quantitative work to a C-level audience and leave the room with a decision, not a follow-up
• Experience applying data science to revenue, growth, or financial problems in B2B SaaS or a high-growth startup environment

What you’ll get

• A fast-paced, low-bureaucracy environment where shipping matters more than process
• Direct exposure to executive and C-level decision-making
• A leadership seat on the Data & ML team shaping Checkr's AI strategy
• 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
