At Check, engineering operates as one team. Engineers are staffed based on business priorities, not tied to fixed domains. Engineers stay close to the work and to each other’s decisions. The team is small and operates with a high level of ownership. Work does not sit waiting on ownership boundaries, and people step in to move things forward when something is stuck.

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 . We offer ample opportunities and encourage employees to attend team offsites, events, and hackathons a couple of times a year. All Checketeers gather in the spring for a required 3-day company offsite.

For our in-office and hybrid employees, our offices are open all week. We provide meals on Tuesdays and Thursdays and there are regular happy hours, game nights, and other in-person events.

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