Job summary

Check is seeking a Product Manager to own the Payouts domain, overseeing how employees and contractors are paid within Check's infrastructure. You will collaborate with engineering, leadership, and partners to ensure payouts remain rock-solid while developing scalable solutions.

Ideal candidates bring a product mindset, strong judgment, and willingness to dive into edge cases, with a focus on delivering reliable payment methods and future capabilities.

Qualifications

• Many backgrounds could fit this role; ideal candidates have some or all of the following.

Responsibilities

• Own execution on Payouts end-to-end, from ACH today toward same-day pay and new payment methods

• Sweat the details: catch edge cases before they ship and hold a high bar for quality, with minimal need for rework
• Know when to make the call yourself and when to loop in your manager — escalation judgment matters as much as independent execution
