Senior Software Engineer (Ruby/Rails), MVR

<div class="content-intro">About Checkr Checkr is building the data platform to power safe and fair decisions. Over 140,000 companies and millions of people rely on Checkr for AI verification in the moments that matter most: getting a new job, a new place to live, a car ride, childcare, even a date.

Truv by Checkr delivers real-time income and employment verification to government agencies. State Departments of Health, Social Services, and Health and Human Services use our platform to verify eligibility for programs like SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, and child support faster, more accurately, and with less burden on the residents they serve. Backed by Checkr’s scale and our secure, API-first platform for payroll data access, we’re replacing manual, paper-heavy verification processes with modern infrastructure built for the public sector.
<h2>About the Role</h2>
We’re hiring a Staff Product Manager to own the end-to-end client experience for Truv by Checkr’s government business, from contract signature through go-live and sustained adoption. Your focus is activation. You’ll make it dramatically faster and easier for agencies, system integrators, and their developers to get to live verifications, and to keep getting value afterward.
You’ll lead client onboarding and activation across engineering, design, implementation, and customer success, and shape how Checkr scales its government business. You’ll work directly with agency program leaders, eligibility caseworkers, and integration partners, and turn their feedback into products that remove friction at every step.
<h2>What You’ll Do</h2>
<ul>
<li>Own the activation journey end to end. Define and improve every stage of the agency lifecycle after contract: onboarding, implementation, configuration, go-live, and post-launch adoption. Partner with Sales so the demo sets agencies up for a smooth start. Build toward a self-serve experience wherever possible.</li>
<li>Reduce time to go-live. Find the bottlenecks between contract and first live production verification, whether they’re technical, procedural, or organizational, and ship products that remove them.</li>
<li>Build for every type of client user. Design configuration and customization capabilities in the Truv dashboard for agency administrators, caseworkers, and technical teams who rely on it for day-to-day operations and reporting after go-live.</li>
<li>Elevate the developer and integrator experience. Partner with agency IT teams, system integrators, and eligibility system vendors to streamline integration, including documentation, sandbox environments, best practices, and implementation tooling.</li>
<li>Measure and improve client health. Define activation and adoption metrics, build visibility for internal teams and clients, and use the data and client behavior to prioritize and ship improvements quickly after launch.</li>
<li>Bring the voice of the agency into the roadmap. Run user research and usability testing with agency staff and end users. Gather feedback from implementation and go-live, and turn it into clear, prioritized product plans.</li>
<li>Partner on compliance and security. Work with compliance, legal, and security teams to make sure onboarding and data flows meet public sector requirements.</li>
<li>Lead through influence. Align product, engineering, design, implementation, customer success, sales, and marketing around a shared activation strategy. Mentor other PMs and raise the bar for product craft across the team.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Who You Are</h2>
Required
<ul>
<li>A Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, or a related field, or equivalent experience.</li>
<li>8+ years of product management experience, including ownership of B2B or B2G onboarding, activation, implementation, or developer experience products.</li>
<li>Experience shipping products in regulated, multi-stakeholder environments such as government, healthcare, insurance, or financial services, where compliance, security, or third-party partners shaped what you built.</li>
<li>A record of improving time-to-value metrics (time to go-live, activation rate, adoption depth) with quantified results, and the analytical skill to define the right metrics and turn data into product changes.</li>
<li>Comfort with technical products. You can partner closely with engineers and talk credibly with client developers about APIs, integrations, and configuration.</li>
<li>Hands-on experience with user research and usability testing, and with experimentation where it’s appropriate.</li>
<li>An excellent operator who manages competing priorities, synthesizes input from many stakeholders, and delivers in a fast-paced environment.</li>
<li>Clear, structured written and verbal communication with audiences from agency executives to caseworkers to engineers.</li>
</ul>
Strong plus
<ul>
<li>A record of delivering products used by state or federal agencies.</li>
<li>Experience with public benefits programs (SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, child support) or eligibility systems.</li>
<li>Experience at a startup or high-growth company.</li>
</ul>
<h2>How We’ll Measure Success</h2>
<ul>
<li>Reduced time from contract signature to go-live for new agency clients.</li>
<li>Higher activation and adoption rates across onboarded agencies.</li>
<li>A greater share of onboarding and configuration completed through self-serve.</li>
<li>Improved verification conversion and reliability in live agency deployments.</li>
<li>Positive feedback from agency clients and integration partners on onboarding, usability, and support.</li>
<li>High-quality launches delivered on time.</li>
</ul>

Senior Product Designer, Verifications

<div class="content-intro">About Checkr Checkr is building the data platform to power safe and fair decisions.

We’re hiring an ML Engineer (P3) to build and ship the AI systems that power Checkr’s core products. This role sits on the ML team inside Checkr’s Data &amp; 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 &amp; 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
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
What you bring
<ul>
<li>A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related technical field, or equivalent depth from experience</li>
<li>6+ years building software professionally, with at least 2 of those building ML systems that run in production</li>
<li>Strong Python fluency; you write clean, testable, well-structured code with solid OOP instincts. Hands-on experience using LLM APIs in production systems: prompt engineering, structured outputs, function calling, cost management, and evaluation</li>
<li>You’ve built and maintained APIs, worked with CI/CD pipelines, and shipped code that other engineers depend on</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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</li>
<li>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.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
Nice to have
<ul>
<li>Experience with MLOps platforms (MLflow, SageMaker, Vertex, or similar)</li>
<li>Background in document processing, OCR, or information extraction</li>
<li>Experience with PySpark or large-scale data processing</li>
<li>Ruby experience (Checkr’s platform runs on Rails)</li>
<li>Familiarity with compliance-sensitive domains (fintech, legal tech, HR tech)</li>
<li>Working knowledge of dbt, Snowflake, or modern ELT/data transformation tools</li>
