Director of Platform Engineering at Checkr

This role is designed for a seasoned engineering executive with a "Platform-as-a-Product" mindset. You should have at least 15 years of software experience, with a proven track record of leading organizations of 40+ engineers. The ideal candidate isn’t just an infrastructure expert; they are a strategic leader who knows how to drive internal adoption of developer tools and utilize AI to demonstrably increase engineering productivity. The compensation is highly competitive, reaching up to $352k base in San Francisco, alongside a robust benefits package that includes 100% medical coverage and specialized perks like $25k for family planning. While the environment is high-performance and fast-paced, you’ll benefit from a hybrid setup (3 days in-office) in major hubs like Denver or SF, with comprehensive "hub perks" including daily lunch and commuter stipends. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have successfully led and scaled an engineering organization of 40+ people at the Director level or higher. * Can bridge the gap between complex infrastructure/API design and user-centric developer experiences. * Are obsessed with data and measuring the business impact of platform initiatives. * Thrive in a hybrid environment and enjoy building cross-functional, diverse technical teams.
