Checkr · Denver, Colorado, United States; San Francisco, California, United States
Checkr operates a data platform focused on AI-driven verification services, including employment, education, criminal record, and health testing. As a Senior Product Designer for Verifications, you will be responsible for designing end-to-end user experiences that bridge the needs of candidates, employers, and internal operational teams. The role involves simplifying complex, high-trust workflows such as document collection, consent authorization, and appointment scheduling within a regulated environment. You will partner with product and engineering teams to drive discovery, prototype solutions, and deliver intuitive interfaces that prioritize transparency and accessibility. This position requires a hands-on approach to both interaction and visual design, coupled with the ability to translate qualitative research and stakeholder feedback into actionable product improvements. It is well-suited for an experienced designer with a background in managing complex product domains, who possesses strong communication skills and the ability to navigate ambiguity while maintaining high standards for craft and usability.
About Checkr Checkr is building the data platform to power safe and fair decisions. Over 140,000 companies and millions of people rely on Checkr for AI verification in the moments that matter most: getting a new job, a new place to live, a car ride, childcare, even a date. Customers include Uber, Pennymac, Airbnb, Doordash, and Anthropic. We’re a team that thrives on solving complex problems with innovative solutions that advance our mission. Checkr is recognized on Forbes Cloud 100 2025 List and is a Y Combinator 2024 Breakthrough Company . About the role We’re looking for a Senior Product Designer to help shape the end-to-end experiences that power Checkr’s Verifications products—spanning employment, education, criminal record, and driving record verifications, with a key focus on drug & occupational health testing. You’ll partner closely with Product, Engineering, and cross-functional stakeholders to design intuitive workflows for complex, high-trust domains—balancing candidate ease, employer clarity, and operational realities. This is a hands-on product design role with high ownership: you’ll drive discovery through execution, bring strong craft, and help the team make great decisions through clear thinking and excellent communication. What you’ll do Own design for key Verifications product areas—including drug & occupational health testing—across candidate, employer, and internal operational experiences (as applicable), from discovery through launch and iteration. Partner with Product and Engineering to define problems, shape roadmaps, and deliver high-quality solutions that align user needs with business outcomes. Simplify complex workflows (verification requests, document collection, consent/authorization, appointment scheduling, status visibility, exception handling) into clear, user-friendly experiences. Use AI-assisted design and development tools to rapidly prototype, validate, and—when appropriate—implement lightweight UI changes in code to improve iteration speed and overall product quality. Design for trust and clarity in a sensitive, regulated domain—prioritizing transparency, error prevention, accessibility, and confidence-building UI patterns. Translate insights into outcomes by combining qualitative research, stakeholder input, and product data to propose, test, and refine solutions. Create thoughtful interaction and visual design across responsive web and/or platform surfaces, producing clear specs and assets for engineering. Facilitate alignment with workshops, design reviews, and strong storytelling—helping teams move from ambiguity to decisions. Collaborate cross-functionally with partners such as Customer Success, Sales, Compliance/Legal, Data, and Operations to ensure designs work in the real world. Contribute to design systems and standards to improve consistency, speed, and quality across Checkr. What you bring You have 5–8+ years of product design experience (or equivalent), with a strong track record of shipping high-quality work. Your portfolio demonstrates end-to-end thinking: problem framing, exploration, rationale, collaboration, iteration, and measurable impact. You’re comfortable working in complex domains where edge cases matter, and you can distill that complexity into simple, usable flows. You have strong product instincts—you know how to balance user needs, business goals, technical constraints, and timeline realities. You’re experienced in collaborative, cross-functional environments, influencing decisions through clarity rather than authority. You can independently plan and execute lightweight research (interviews, usability testing, concept validation) and partner effectively with researchers when available. You sweat the details: interaction patterns, content clarity, information hierarchy, and accessibility best practices. An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes. Nice to have Experience in background screening, HR tech, healthcare, identity, compliance-heavy, or other high-trust regulated spaces. Experience designing B2B / B2B2C products, especially workflows used by operations teams or external partners. Familiarity with design systems, documentation, and scalable component thinking. Experience designing for secure data, consent, and privacy-forward user experiences.
