Senior Director, Software Engineering (Machine Learning)

Overview

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.

At Affirm, we’ve been very successful in our mission in delivering honest financial products that improve lives. Machine Learning has played a significant part in helping Affirm deliver on that mission. As we look into the future, we expect ML to continue to play an outsized role.
