About Check

At Check, we're redefining how people get paid and making it easier for payroll businesses to launch, grow, and thrive. Our team is passionate about solving complex problems and creating a better future for businesses of every size.

The Role

We're looking for a skilled Staff Software Engineer to join our team and help us build scalable systems and services within our mono-repo. As a key member of our engineering team, you'll work on complex problems, merge your engineering know-how with your passion for making a real impact, and contribute to the solution by ignoring conventional role boundaries in favor of the unique strengths and value each builder brings to our team and to our mission.

Responsibilities

  1. Actively make Check better by working hands-on with our gnarliest problems across engineering teams.

  4. Coach your team by building genuine connections, embracing vulnerability, and working transparently.
  5. Simplify how and what we're building by shaping the system's architecture.
  6. Role model clear, critical thinking through code, written proposals, or diagrams that illuminate problems and set direction.
  7. Architect and build scalable systems and services within our mono-repo, while taking ownership of end-to-end delivery from design to deployment.

Our Stack

We use Python/Django for our API, React and Typescript for our frontends, AWS and Terraform for our cloud infrastructure, Postgres for our database, Temporal for workflow orchestration, and GitLab for issue tracking and CI/CD.

Requirements

  1. Experience with staff level ownership and impact across an organization.
  2. Experience building complex systems (or within a regulated industry) that have scaled and changed over time.
  3. Resiliency solving highly ambiguous problems or creating structure for collaboration.
  4. Proficient in debugging complex systems and handling critical incidents.
  5. Experience setting a technical strategy across teams.
  6. Proficiency in Python or Go (Django, React or Typescript is a plus).

What We Offer

We offer company-sponsored medical, dental, vision, short-term/long-term disability, and basic life insurance coverage, effective on your first day of work. We also provide stock options, flexible PTO and sick leave, 16 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, flexible return-to-work, 9 annual holidays, a 401k retirement plan, and a $100 monthly stipend for home internet and mobile phone expenses.
