Our platform helps the most ambitious businesses deliver effortless digital experiences, at scale. \nIf you want to do career-defining work, you’ve come to the right place. We move fast, think globally, and believe great teams are built by hiring exceptional people with conviction, curiosity, and the desire to make an impact. \nWith 20 offices across six continents and London as our HQ, we’re shaping the future of fintech - and we’re just getting started.\nThe role\nCheckout.com is looking for an enthusiastic Engineer I to join Finance Technology with a focus on Workday Adaptive Planning. Adaptive Planning supports finance, workforce, sales, and operational planning, giving teams a shared platform for budgeting, forecasting, modelling, reporting, and decision-making.\nThis is an early-career engineering role for someone who wants to build depth in finance systems, application configuration, data integration, and operational support. You will work with Finance, Finance Technology, Data, and wider Corporate Technology teams to keep planning processes reliable, well-controlled, and easy to operate.\nYou will have support from more senior engineers for complex design decisions, but you will be expected to work independently for longer periods on well-defined configuration, integration, support, and continuous-improvement tasks. This reflects Checkout’s Engineer 1 expectations: delivering small-to-medium-sized work, supporting common operational flows, communicating clearly, and taking ownership of the quality of what you deliver.\nHow you’ll make an impact\nConfigure, maintain, and enhance Adaptive Planning models, dimensions, versions, levels, accounts, sheets, reports, dashboards, and planning workflows under appropriate guidance.\n\nSupport the delivery of budgeting, forecasting, headcount planning, scenario modelling, and management reporting capabilities for Finance and business stakeholders.\n\nBuild and support data loads and integrations between Adaptive Planning, Workday Financials, Workday HCM, and other approved internal or third-party systems.\n\nMaintain data mappings, transformation rules, validation checks, and reconciliation processes so that planning data is complete, accurate, and traceable.\n\nMonitor scheduled loads and integration tasks, investigate failures, and resolve common data or configuration issues within agreed service levels.\n\nTriage incidents and service requests, identifying root causes and escalating complex or high-risk issues with clear evidence and recommended next steps.\n\nPartner with Finance stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into maintainable system configuration, reporting, or integration changes.\n\nContribute to the assessment and delivery of future analytics data flows, including the potential use of Adaptive Planning data in BigQuery and management analytics.\n\nParticipate in testing, regression testing, release preparation, and controlled deployment of Adaptive Planning changes.\n\nFollow change-control, access-management, data-quality, and audit requirements relevant to financial systems and planning data.\n\nCreate clear documentation, support guides, data dictionaries, integration runbooks, and knowledge-base articles so that operational knowledge is shared rather than held by one person.\n\nIdentify recurring manual work or failure patterns and propose practical automation and process improvements.\n\nWhat we’re looking for\nEssential experience and skills\nExperience in a finance systems, enterprise applications, data, reporting, or integration environment.\n\nPractical experience with Workday Adaptive Planning, or strong experience with a comparable planning, performance-management, ERP, or finance application and a clear ability to learn Adaptive quickly.\n\nUnderstanding of core finance planning concepts such as budgets, forecasts, actuals, variance analysis, allocations, dimensions, hierarchies, and scenarios.\n\nExperience configuring or supporting structured data models, application workflows, reports, dashboards, or business rules.\n\nAbility to work with data imports, exports, mappings, transformations, validations, and reconciliations.\n\nStrong troubleshooting skills, with the ability to break down an issue, gather evidence, identify likely causes, and communicate findings clearly.\n\nGood attention to detail and an understanding of why accuracy, access control, auditability, and repeatability matter in finance systems.\n\nAbility to manage small-to-medium-sized tasks independently while knowing when to ask for help or escalate.\n\nStrong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with Finance and Technology stakeholders.\n\nDesirable experience\nWorkday Adaptive Planning certification or implementation experience.\n\nExperience with Adaptive Planning Integration, Planning Data Loader, APIs, or equivalent enterprise planning integration tooling.\n\nExperience integrating planning systems with Workday Financials, Workday HCM, an ERP, a data warehouse, or a reporting platform.\n\nFamiliarity with SOX controls, financial audit requirements, data privacy, and segregation of duties.\n\nExperience supporting month-end, budget, forecast, or management-reporting cycles.\n\nExposure to Agile delivery, ticket-driven change management, incident management, or service-management practices.\n\nWhat success looks like\nAfter the first 6-12 months, you will be able to:\nSupport common Adaptive Planning configuration, data-load, and reporting requests with limited supervision.\n\nDiagnose and resolve routine integration or data-quality issues using a structured troubleshooting approach.\n\nDeliver small-to-medium-sized enhancements from requirement clarification through testing, documentation, and controlled release.\n\nExplain key planning data flows, mappings, dependencies, and operational controls to Finance and Technology colleagues.\n\nImprove the reliability or efficiency of at least one recurring planning or finance-technology process.\n\nMaintain accurate, useful documentation and contribute positively to team ceremonies, reviews, and knowledge-sharing sessions.\n\nWorking style and behaviours\nWe are looking for someone who:\nTakes ownership of tasks and follows through on commitments.\n\nActs with urgency and accountability when issues affect Finance or business reporting.\n\nIs curious about how finance processes, data, and technology fit together.\n\nCommunicates clearly, especially when explaining risk, blockers, trade-offs, or support impact.\n\nWelcomes feedback and actively develops their technical and domain knowledge.\n\nCollaborates generously and shares knowledge so the team does not depend on a single subject-matter expert.\n\nLooks for durable automation and simpler operating processes rather than repeatedly working around the same manual problem.\n\nWhy join Finance Technology?\nYou will work on systems that sit at the centre of how Checkout.com plans, forecasts, reports, and makes financial decisions. The role offers the opportunity to develop a broad foundation across enterprise applications, finance processes, integrations, data quality, controls, and automation while working closely with experienced Finance and Technology professionals.\nAdditional Information\nBring all of you to work\nWe create the conditions for high performers to thrive, through real ownership, fewer blockers, and work that makes a difference from day one.\nHere, you’ll move fast, take on meaningful challenges, and be recognized for the impact you deliver.
