Affirm

Technical Lead Engineer - Full Stack

We’re looking for an engineer to lead the full stack (web frontend and backend) development on projects to improve and grow the Affirm Anywhere app.

The team you’ll join is responsible for new product initiatives at Affirm that go beyond our core business in the value they provide to our customers. Part of this mandate is to invest in the Affirm Anywhere offering which provides powerful search and discovery tools that let customers find relevant themes, categories, merchants and discounts where they can save money and use Affirm financing. The team’s work is a critical part of Affirm’s mission to become a trusted financial partner for our customers, and to help them live their best and most fulfilling financial lives. You can think of the team as R&D or a “startup within a startup” working on the next generation of Affirm products.
