Manager, Software Engineering (Edge Traffic)

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 Traffic Eng team owns Affrim’s critical routing and network infrastructure to run Affrim’s core product. Our customers are not only Affrim users, but also other engineering teams at Affrim. As a team, we are responsible for building and exposing simple interfaces of online infrastructure components. Examples of components we own include the CDN edge routing layer to cache and optimize requests to Affrim.com, the RPC layer for internal service‑to‑service communication, and our gateway and sidecar artifacts to control traffic.

• You will collaborate across teams infrastructure, security, and other engineering teams to build reliable, secure, and scalable networking infrastructure to meet the needs of our external partners and internal teams.
• You will improve key metrics for availability, performance, and resiliency.
• You take ownership of your team’s operations and availability by ensuring you have the right monitoring, triage rotations, playbooks, testing and alerting in place to support “keep the lights on” & on‑call efforts.
• You will foster a culture of quality and ownership on your team by setting code review and design standards for your team, and advocating for them beyond your team through your writing and tech talks.
