Affirm
About the Role
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 delivered honest financial products that improve lives. The Affirm Card has played a significant part in helping us on that mission, and as we look to the future we expect the Card to continue to play an outsized role. We are hiring a Director to lead the Card Platform and Experiences team.
What You’ll Do
Set the vision for the Card Experiences and Platform team at Affirm. Hire world‑class full‑stack engineers to execute on that vision.
Take ownership of our core engineering and business outcomes across established verticals – Card experiences, Card services Platform, and Card Loan platform.
Work closely with product and business leadership to drive key efforts to build card‑related capabilities that grow and scale the business.
Balance product expansion efforts with platform investments and scale the platform to handle high scale and a spectrum of eclectic use cases.
Run a robust development lifecycle establishing a culture for operational excellence, while experimenting and failing fast.
Work with a wide variety of cross‑functional partners outside of engineering ranging from product, analytics, risk, servicing, legal and compliance.
What We Look For
15+ years of relevant experience in software engineering.
Experience leading full‑stack and backend teams.
Successful track record driving outcomes that drive the company’s success.
Comfortable partnering across disciplines and influencing across a wide variety of leaders.
Experience hiring, growing, and retaining talent.
Card‑related domain knowledge is great to have – experience with credit/debit card, accounting, ledgering, open/closed loops, etc.
