Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in an Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, or Data Analyst role, ideally with meaningful exposure to Finance or Accounting stakeholders
- Expert SQL and strong experience building production-grade data models and pipelines
- Hands-on experience modeling data from ERP systems such as NetSuite, Oracle, or similar, and strong familiarity with financial concepts like GL, revenue recognition, COGS, and margin
- Experience with BI and modeling tools such as Looker and Omni, and the ability to design semantic layers that scale with stakeholder needs
- Excellent communication skills and a track record of translating ambiguous Finance requirements into technical solutions
- Experience with dbt and Snowflake, and enthusiasm for working with AI-powered development tools, is a strong plus
- An A-player mindset with a strong bias for action: you raise the bar, move with urgency, stay resilient through ambiguity, and take ownership to deliver meaningful outcomes
What the job involves
- Reporting to the Data Engineering Manager, the Senior Analytics Engineer (Finance) will be the dedicated data partner for Checkr's Finance organization, owning the models, pipelines, and governance that power how we measure and forecast the business
- You will build and maintain the trusted data layer for ledgers, revenue reconciliation, COGS and margin analysis, and forecast model inputs — turning raw ERP and operational data into decision-ready assets. You'll work hand-in-hand with FP&A, Accounting, and Finance leadership, while helping shape one of Checkr's most exciting data platforms alongside a team that's actively building with the latest AI tooling
- Design, build, and maintain scalable data models and pipelines that support revenue reconciliation, ledger integrity, COGS and margin analysis, and forecast model inputs
- Partner directly with FP&A, Accounting, and broader Finance stakeholders to translate business questions into well-governed, reusable data products in Looker and Omni
- Own the data contracts and quality checks for finance-critical datasets, establishing governance standards that make numbers audit-ready and trusted across the company
- Model data out of ERP systems (NetSuite, Oracle, and similar) and integrate it with operational sources to produce a unified financial view of the business
- Drive adoption of AI-powered workflows and tooling within the analytics engineering stack to accelerate pipeline development, documentation, and stakeholder self-service
- Partner with Data Engineering peers to evolve Checkr's modern data platform, championing best practices in testing, documentation, and lineage
Our take
Checkr addresses the unpleasant and time consuming process of background checks so that companies using on-demand employees can make safer, more informed hiring decisions in less time. Background checks are a critical part of the hiring process, and CEO Daniel Yannisse noticed that they were painfully slow, resulting in loss of work for candidates and productivity downturns for employers.
Before Checkr entered the market in 2014 with its innovative AI technology and a solid $50m in venture capital funding, companies were waiting upwards of two weeks for their checks. Checkr substantially reduces this time frame and has grown to receive a $5 billion valuation.
Checkr has accelerated growth by making several highly advantageous acquisitions of competitor companies GoodHire and Inflection. As the world of work embraces diversity and inclusion, the company announced an end-to-end service for candidates wishing to expunge their criminal records, furthering the company’s ‘fair chance’ mission and clearing 1000s of candidates for free since 2021. New products launched at the end of 2023 include Checkr Pay (providing access to payment right after a shift) and Checkr Onboard (unified onboarding processes), exemplifying how Checkr is keeping pace with a rapidly changing, flexible, and mobile-first workforce.
