Software Engineer, Staff

Required

• Staff-level experience building and operating complex systems, ideally at scale or in a regulated industry, with a track record of driving outcomes that moved the business, not just a team
• Experience leading efforts that took months, not weeks, and delivering on them by chipping away at hard, ambiguous problems
• Deep, hands-on experience building with AI tools, with clear opinions on where they help, where they fall short, and when to override them
• The ability to work autonomously on company-wide projects, set your own priorities, and bring others along without relying on formal authority
• A track record of fast, sound decisions grounded in experience, including knowing when to go deep and when to ship
• The curiosity and persistence to debug complex problems in intricate systems
• Comfort working cross-functionally with internal teams and partners, and influencing across them
• We don't require any particular programming language. You'll pick up our stack (Python/Django, React, TypeScript, AWS, Terraform, Postgres, Temporal, GitHub) as you go.
• Travel & Office Policy
• The Check team is distributed across the US. Roles can be remote, hybrid, or based in one of our offices in New York City or San Francisco.

• Remote work at Check requires the ability to perform all responsibilities without distraction or disruption, while maintaining quality, effective communication, and productivity.
