Product Designer
Check is a payroll-as-a-service API that lets you embed payroll directly in your vertical SaaS, HR, or time-tracking platform. Our API abstracts away the complexities of running payroll: tax calculation, remittance, and filing, plus the movement of money between companies and employees. This enables companies to easily build fully integrated payroll products to offer to their customers. We’re proud to share that Check now powers payroll for platforms that together support over 3 million workers across more than 170,000 small and mid-sized businesses.
For this role, we are seeking an entrepreneurial product designer who will have a hand in building Check’s most critical infrastructure to set up and onboard the thousands of businesses and workers on top of our platform.
In this role, you will:
- Own a significant product surface area covering onboarding and risk processes, payroll systems, customer-facing components, and more
- Deeply understand payroll requirements through research and interviews, both internal and external
- Communicate your findings visually, verbally, and in writing to document learnings and level up knowledge across the organization
- Partner with engineering, product, legal, and operations to drive alignment and craft solutions in ambiguous situations
- Drive product vision in the long-term, especially using visual artifacts
- Shape the culture and processes of design at Check, helping to scale a small team with significant ownership of product direction
Many backgrounds could fit this role, but ideal candidates will have some or all of the following:
- 3+ years of experience designing software. We’re especially keen to see experience with enterprise problems, information architecture, and data- and process-heavy interfaces
- Willingness to go deep in complex domains with detailed regulatory and operational requirements
- Comfort working independently and navigating ambiguity in a fast-moving, dynamic environment
- Curiosity and desire to serve customers in a space where details matter and trust and reliability are paramount
- Humility, proactiveness, and ability to work with a wide variety of stakeholders
- A high standard for visual craft and execution
