Jonathan Perichon

Jonathan Perichon holds a rigorous background in software engineering and API architecture. After working as an engineer at the LA-based startup Mogreet, he joined the on-demand delivery startup Deliv, where he experienced the massive inefficiency of legacy background check systems firsthand. This deep, practical background in building scalable, API-driven backend infrastructure for the gig economy provided the essential technical foundation required to architect Checkr's fully automated platform.

Jonathan Perichon is the co-founder and former Chief Technology Officer of Checkr. A gifted computational programmer, Perichon architected Checkr's original developer API and automated record-scraping engine. At Checkr, Perichon built the scalable backend data pipelines that connect to thousands of municipal court databases with sub-second response times, engineered the security infrastructure that safeguards millions of sensitive identity records, and guided the early technical scaling of the platform before transitioning to independent technology investments. At Checkr, Perichon's computational programming mastery was the foundational engine that automated the American background check industry. Personally architecting the core REST API and machine learning record normalization pipelines that query over 3,000 county courthouses, Perichon built high-availability data architectures that process millions of identity verification requests with sub-second execution speeds and flawless data integrity.
