  • automation, observability, and configuration management
  • development and product experience
  • The SRE team is seeking motivated software engineers with the experience to build and expand reliability and resilience practices throughout Affirm’s Engineering organization and beyond.

    What You'll Do

  • You will proactively identify project, process, technology or business issues, advocate for them, and lead in solving them.
  • You will support the operations and availability of your team’s artifacts by creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and supporting “keep the lights on” and on-call efforts.
  • You will foster a culture of quality and ownership on your team by setting or improving code review and design standards for your team, and advocating for them beyond your team through your writing and tech talks.

  • You have 4+ years of experience designing, developing and launching backend systems at scale using languages like Python or Kotlin.

  • You have 4+ years working in a Site Reliability or Production Engineering team

  • You have experience defining a technical plan for the delivery of a significant feature or system component with an elegant, simple and extensible design. You write high quality code that is easily understood and used by others.
  • You are proficient at making significant changes in a large code base, and have developed a suite of tools and practices that enable you and your team to do so safely.
  • Your experience demonstrates that you take ownership of your growth, proactively seeking feedback from your team, your manager, and your stakeholders.
  • You have strong verbal and written communication skills that support effective collaboration with our global engineering team.
  • Compensation & Benefits

  • Base Pay Grade - N
  • Equity Grade - 6
  • Base pay is part of a total compensation package that may include equity rewards, monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, and benefits (including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents).
  • CAN base pay range per year : $150,000 - $200,000
  • Affirm is remote-first. The majority of our roles are remote, with some roles requiring office presence. A limited number of roles remain office-based due to the nature of their job responsibilities.

  • Flexible Spending Wallets - stipends for spending on Technology, Food, various Lifestyle needs, and family forming expenses
  • Time off - vacation and holiday schedules allowing you to rest and recharge
