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.

Affirm’s next frontier is Affirm Card. Affirm Card is the first-of-its-kind financial product that enables a consumer to access debit card spending capabilities with the option to obtain a loan through the App. Consumers can spend with confidence at any merchant, in-store or online, and know they will be supported by the hallmark trust, transparency, and ‘no gotchas’ that define Affirm products. We are a full-stack & collaborative team, focused on delivering the right outcomes to our customers, so our work spans from launching new product features to improving the robustness of our financial platform. We operate with a high level of technical capability, strong cross functional communication, and a creative mindset.

We are looking for a Senior Engineering Manager to lead the Pay Later team within Affirm Card. This team owns all things lending with this product, including in-app checkout experiences, personalized financing options, merchant-level integrations, and transaction handling. This is an industry-defining product space, and as the engineering lead, you will have the opportunity to meaningfully influence not only Affirm’s future, but the future of the BNPL industry.

Affirm is experiencing explosive growth with millions of customers across thousands of merchants in-store and online, and your contributions will be a key enabler of that growth. Come join us as we build a beloved, lasting financial services brand predicated on honesty and trust. It’s going to be an amazing ride!
