In 2018, Check's co-founders - Andrew, Eric, and Vivek - came to a realization that payroll was fundamentally broken. In a world full of software innovation, nobody could quickly and easily build payroll products on their own, and legacy payroll providers haven't adapted fast enough to business needs and worker types that need to be supported in growingly diverse industries. 


Check set out to build the infrastructure that would enable platforms to deliver tailored payroll products in a matter of weeks, rather than years. We’ve created an easy-to-use API to provide access to a robust tax engine that allows us to perform core payroll functions for our partners. We’ve abstracted complexity so that our partners can build a world-class payroll offering for their customers quickly and easily. 


The Check Solutions team bridges the gap between business goals and technical solutions for our partners. Externally, our team impacts revenue growth by applying technical knowledge in a consultative manner to drive better business outcomes. Internally, we work closely with Sales, Product, Engineering, and Partner Success to develop unique and differentiated solutions to innovative payroll product ideas. 


As a Solutions Architect, you will be the primary technical advisor for our partners who are building payroll products on our platform. You’ll build trust and understanding of the partners’ business models and recommend appropriate solutions. 

In this role, you will:

  • Build trusted relationships with stakeholders at partner organizations: Understand partners’ business models, organizational priorities, and ideal workflows to ensure targeted and specific solution guidance
  • Conduct comprehensive technical discovery: Conduct deep discovery across multiple stakeholders, mapping the landscape of a partner’s HR and payroll-relevant product offering as well as employer/employee experience
  • Design and own detailed solutions: Own and drive creative, scalable solutions; proactively sell/recommend external customer project teams and communicate the solution to internal implementation teams
  • Influence strategic product roadmap: Combine customer feedback with Check go-to-market strategy to make strategic recommendations on product prioritization in both the short and long term

Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will:

  • Relevant work experience: 4+ years in a customer-facing, technical solutions role selling a differentiated software solution; experience advising on a compliance-driven solution is a plus
  • Technical competence: A strong command of how to leverage a flexible API-driven platform to achieve a differentiated partner product; ability to build trust with a developer audience
  • Cross-functional excellence: Demonstrated ability to create and drive cross-functional collaboration and initiatives to solve partner problems; comfortable and effective leading conversations with sales, product, engineering, and partner success
  • Communication proficiency: Clear and concise communication (written, oral, virtual, or in-person) is paramount; ability to communicate technical concepts in business language to build consensus both internally and externally
  • Autonomy and initiative: Our lean team needs individuals who execute against a broad, strategic goal by appropriately prioritizing internal projects and partner engagements in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
  • Ability to travel as needed

Our team is distributed across the US, with hubs in New York City, San Francisco, and Atlanta.

How does the company support your career growth?

At Check, I feel supported in my career growth with a professional development budget and regular career check-ins! Above all, I am encouraged to expand my skills and areas of expertise - for example, I was able to transition from Business Operations into a Product Manager role. I'm fortunate to work for a company that invests in its people.

Leah Stewart

What is your vision for the company?

We believe in a future where business owners don’t have to think about payroll; it’ll simply be embedded in the platforms they already use to run their businesses. Check is building the infrastructure to power that future, and ultimately we believe we’ll enable thousands of new platforms, millions of businesses, and hundreds of millions of workers.

Andrew Brown

Chief Executive Officer
