About the Role
Truework, recently acquired by Checkr, provides access to crucial employment and income information needed for mortgage loans, apartment rentals, background checks, and more. We are disrupting a $5B+ industry, dominated by legacy incumbents, with a better product and intense customer focus. Within Checkr, Truework operates independently, allowing rapid iteration while also being able to leverage the strengths and assets from our core business. Think of it like joining a startup within a startup!
As a Senior Software Engineer on the Truework team you will help develop and maintain the platform that’s used by 8 of the top 10 mortgage lenders in the US. At Checkr, Engineers take ownership and responsibility on all aspects of Product development from leading projects, working with product managers and customers to define and implement features, to collaborating with our sales and marketing teams on launching and scaling products. You’ll have a lot of autonomy and will be successful if you have high agency and a keen sense of craftsmanship for yourself and others.
Most of the work we need to do is backend-oriented, but we are open to candidates from a broad set of roles (full stack, backend, QA engineers, SREs, etc.) if you meet our requirements.
