Backend Software Engineer II at Checkr

This role is ideal for a mid-level engineer with at least 2 years of experience who enjoys a high-ownership, product-centric environment. You should be proficient in **Ruby and JavaScript** and comfortable working across small services, RESTful APIs, and both SQL/NoSQL databases. Since this is an "Engineer II" position, the team is looking for someone who can move beyond just writing code to owning features from design through production release. The position offers a competitive San Francisco salary ($150k–$176k) with excellent benefits, including 100% covered healthcare and high-value family planning reimbursements. While the role is **hybrid** (3 days a week in-office), you get significant perks like daily lunch and a commuter stipend. As a Y Combinator "Breakthrough Company," this is a strong environment for those seeking career growth within a well-funded, mission-driven data platform. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have practical experience with **Ruby on Rails** and modern JavaScript frameworks. * Value XP practices like Test-Driven Development and Continuous Delivery. * Enjoy collaborating directly with Product and Design rather than just receiving tickets. * Thrive in a high-transaction environment (handling hundreds of thousands of daily events).
