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.
