The Role

Checkout.com is looking for an enthusiastic Engineer I to join the People Systems team. Your day-to-day focus will be on HCM queries related to our People system, Workday.

This is an early-career role for someone ready to operate independently with guidance—owning the day-to-day functionality in Workday rather than only handling basic break-fix work. You will partner closely with the People Team and global Corporate Technology teams to keep critical data flowing accurately between Workday, our ERP, and the wider Checkout.com tech stack.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Own first line support: Be the first point of contact for queries coming into the team and take the first opportunity to resolve them.
• Optimise system health: Maintain the core Workday HCM platform proactively to reduce downtime and data errors.
• Resolve complex issues: Move beyond basic break-fix tasks to solve deep day-to-day functional system queries independently.
• Secure data flows: Partner with Corporate Technology teams to ensure accurate data integration between Workday and downstream platforms.
• Empower People teams: Streamline HR workflows and reporting to improve daily operations for global stakeholders.
• Drive platform scaling: Support upcoming feature deployments and system upgrades to match Checkout.com’s rapid growth.
• Standardize support processes: Create internal documentation and runbooks to speed up future system troubleshooting.

What We’re Looking For

• Workday experience: At least 1 year’s experience administering modules, configuring business processes, security roles, and workflows.
• People operations partnership: A passion for optimising HR workflows within Workday.
• System maintenance: Experience managing system testing, feature deployments, platform upgrades, and creating clear technical documentation.
• Growth mindset: Strong desire to deepen technical knowledge in Workday across all modules.
• Problem solving: Creative problem-solving skills with a strong customer service mindset, a positive can-do attitude, and willingness to learn and develop. Able to research independently to find solutions to various issues.
• Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills, fluent in English, with the ability to coordinate effectively with People and global technology teams.
