Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

The Communications Platform team is responsible for Affirm’s consumer messaging systems. We provide a scalable, fault-tolerant abstraction on-top of messaging vendors that enable teams to focus on their core product experience. Our stakeholders rely on us to process billions of messages across SMS, Email and Push with strict regulatory and deliverability constraints.

Affirm is growing rapidly and so is the need for reliable, highly available platform capabilities. As a Senior Software Engineer on this team, you’ll help define the next evolution of our platform. If solving challenges at scale excites you, come join us!

What You’ll Do

  • Build and maintain mission critical services, tooling and data pipelines that deliver effective, compliant transactional and engagement messages to our customers
  • Closely collaborate with product, engineering, UX, analytics and marketing stakeholders to gather requirements and deliver scalable solutions with dependencies across multiple teams
  • Drive project planning, system design, cross-functional alignment, in addition to delivery, monitoring, and continuous iteration
  • Consistently generate simple and elegant designs, write high-quality, testable, peer-reviewed code which will be a model for the team
  • Adhere to and advocate for engineering best practices across the team, such as robust automated testing and observability
  • Provide mentorship to other engineers and model our strong team culture of transparency, continuous improvement, collaboration, blameless retrospectives and inclusion

What We Look For

  • 4-6 years of experience as a software engineer with leadership responsibilities and experience mentoring senior engineers.
  • Expert in building service oriented applications with Python, Java/Kotlin, or other modern programming languages
  • Prior experience in architecting, building, launching and maintaining complex systems.
  • Experience building thoughtfully designed, highly performant HTTP & RPC interfaces and intuitive user interfaces
  • Product-centric thinking -- we care just as much about the product experience — ours, our stakeholders’, and our company’s — as we do the design of our engineering systems.
  • You are not dogmatic, and believe in solving problems with the right tool for the job.
  • Experience providing reviews on teammates code and designs, providing constructive feedback to meet a high bar of quality and help others grow.
  • Well-developed interpersonal, written and verbal communication.
  • Humility and self-awareness to understand opportunities to learn and grow. Ambiguity is where you thrive.
