323d • $35 • Hybrid

About The Position

Checkr is looking for Summer 2025 Interns to work on high-value engineering projects that will deliver real-world impact to our customers, candidates, and engineering organization. Inevitably, issues arise within Checkr and external systems, prolonging the background check process which delays candidate's access to employment, housing, and financial opportunities. When you join our team, you will learn how to leverage AI as a productivity enhancer and how to deliver AI-integrated solutions to improve issue visibility, increase system resiliency, and create powerful tools that enable non-Engineering stakeholders to unblock candidates. Checkr's internship program is an amazing opportunity for anyone who is pursuing a career in software development and wishes to learn from a diverse cultural perspective. We are looking for candidates who have a strong understanding of engineering principles and who are interested in learning about generative AI and system scalability. Our interns will embody Checkr's core values of grit, ownership, humility, transparency, and connection as you push to deliver value over the summer.
