About the role
Finance and Treasury Services is a suite of products responsible for enhancing and optimising Checkout.com’s financial processes, becoming the golden source and distribution hub of financial data to a variety of end user groups. With Checkout.com’s fast paced growth and sophisticated business domain we thrive in the ongoing challenges of data integrity, granularity, and scalability.
The Pricing & Billing team has been transformed into a centralised pillar within FTS. Prior to this, pricing was bespoke and did not scale well and billing was performed manually by separate teams. By centralising it, we are aiming to offer dynamic pricing models for all our products with minimum friction as well as automating existing manual billing processes. We also seek to leverage other pricing features that can make CKOs offering more compelling to prospect merchants.
Our ideal candidate should be passionate and spirited, laser-focused on the customer, living and breathing Agile, and firmly trusting in empowering teams to create clean, testable code. If the challenges facing a fast-scaling, technically focused company interest you, hopefully, you can make a great impact here!
