Most people worry about whether posting bail will show up on background checks or be visible to employers.
Arrest records — usually public
The arrest itself is public. Most basic background checks will show it.
Bail bond contracts — private
Your contract with the bondsman is confidential. Employers can't see who paid the bond or any details about you as co-signer.
Court records — public but limited
Court filings showing the case are public. The bond amount may be visible but who posted it generally isn't.
