Checkbook.io | Blockchain enabled Digital Checks | Sunnyvale/ San Francisco CA | ONSITE | Full-time | Engineering | $100K+ and equity

We are a fintech startup and solving the problem of paper Checks. Contrary to popular opinion paper Checks are not going away, in fact according the 2016 report by the Federal Reserve 17.2 Billion paper Checks were sent in the US alone, transferring a sum of money 4.5X times VISA/MC combined!

We’ve built a way to send images of Checks instantly in email and the recipient can Deposit them online by verifying their bank account instantly. Furthermore building and enabling a Blockchain for settlement enables instant verification and disbursement. Basically we are doing to paper Checks what Stripe and Square of have done to the Credit Card space in Online and Mobile payments.

We’re Seed stage and very soon Series A, seeing exponential growth, have a small but great team and super investors (Tim Draper, Naval Ravikant/Kevin Laws of Angelist thru one of their angelist funds, our customers and many more ) i.e. this would be a good time to join

Looking for both a back-end as well as a front-end engineer. Need to have a strong background in being able to write scalable software, preferably multi-paradigm, disciplined. - I’m the Founder of the company - this is a “co-founder” level opportunity - you’ll be working with me and other core people in the team. Work hard - play hard.

Our tech stack is Python, Angular, Postgres.

We move fast - if you’ve done a hackathon - we’ll probably want to do one with you and it’ll be clear if we are a mutual fit
