Checkr (YC S14) | San Francisco, CA and Denver, CO | ONSITE | Senior Engineers

I'm Ben, an engineering manager @ Checkr. We are an API for background checks- it may sound boring at first but there are interesting problems to solve and we've seen lots of success in the market.

A little about our stack: Ruby/Sinatra/Rails, MySQL and Mongo, Kafka, React and Angular frontends, Golang and Python microservices, Kubernetes and Docker for deploying, Presto for our data warehouse, moving to gRPC for internal service communication.

If any of that sounds like fun, drop me an email: ben+hn@checkr.com
