About this role
## Tech Lead Manager — Check ### About Check Check Payroll is being rebuilt on modern infrastructure. We don’t run payroll ourselves—we power the businesses that do. As the inventors of embedded payroll, we’re redefining how people get paid and making it easier for payroll businesses to launch, grow, and thrive. At Check, engineering operates as one team: engineers are staffed based on business priorities (not fixed domains), stay close to the work and each other’s decisions, and move things forward when something is stuck. ### About this role As a **Tech Lead Manager**, you’ll turn complex, high-impact problems into solutions that help **over a million people get paid**. You’ll act as both a manager and a force multiplier—doing the work while amplifying your team’s impact. In close partnership with product and operations, you’ll help define the roadmap and workflow improvements that support the next stage of growth for Check and the businesses relying on our infrastructure. ### What you’ll do - **Scale systems** that power payroll calculations, tax payments, and filings as volume and complexity increase. - **Design services** that move and reconcile money across parties, while keeping results clear and traceable for partners. - **Support new businesses** migrating large employer bases onto Check’s infrastructure. - **Use AI** to automate complex operational workflows (e.g., tax notice triage and reducing manual employer setup work). ### What we’re looking for - **5+ years** building complex software and delivering production systems end-to-end. - **1–2 years** leading or managing a team. - A desire to **stay hands-on** and build with your team. - A track record of driving business outcomes and **uplifting IC engineers**. - Passion for improving engineering workflows and experimenting with AI. - No specific language requirements, but you should be eager to learn the current stack: **Python/Django, React, TypeScript, AWS, Terraform, Postgres, Temporal, GitHub**. ### Compensation - Estimated base salary: **$240,000–$264,000** (Tier 1 cities: SF, NYC, LA, Seattle) - **$228,000–$250,000** (any other US city) ### Travel & office policy - Team is distributed across the US. - Roles can be **remote, hybrid, or based** in **NYC or San Francisco**. - Encouraged to attend team offsites, events, and hackathons; annual **3-day company retreat** in the spring. - Remote work requires the ability to perform responsibilities without distraction while maintaining quality communication and productivity. ### Equal opportunity Check is an **Equal Opportunity employer** and provides reasonable accommodations in the recruiting process. Check participates in **E-Verify**.
