Engineering Manager (Verifications)

Join Checkr as an Engineering Manager for the Verifications team, where you'll lead and grow a high-performing engineering team, improve operational metrics, and drive technical strategy for scaling a complex, integration-heavy system. You'll partner with Product to define and execute the roadmap, represent Verifications in cross-functional planning, and lead the team's adoption of AI-assisted development practices. Enjoy a range of benefits including comprehensive health plans, competitive compensation, flexible paid time off, and more.

• Lead and grow the Verifications engineering team, setting technical direction and driving performance.
• Own the reliability and quality of a broad portfolio of fulfillment integrations, partnering closely with vendors and internal stakeholders.
• Drive technical strategy for scaling a complex, integration-heavy system, making deliberate architecture decisions that improve coverage.
• 4+ years as an engineering manager, with a track record of building and developing high-performing teams
• A track record of improving operational metrics — reducing incident frequency, improving detection time, or shipping reliability improvements in high-stakes production environments
• A genuine investment in developing people — through career conversations, stretch assignments, and creating conditions for engineers to grow
• 8+ years as a software engineer, with strong command of service architecture, distributed systems, and system design
• 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
• 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
• 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
• 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
• Humility, openness to feedback, and eagerness to learn
• 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
