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 Merchant Engagement APIs team at Affirm builds and maintains the backend APIs that power both merchants that use the Affirm Merchant Portal and those utilizing our platform partners’ integrations.  The goal of the team is to build the underlying technology that empowers merchants of all sizes to efficiently sign, onboard, launch, and deepen their integration with Affirm.

The technology we are building strives to drive universal merchant adoption of Affirm as a payment option. We are striving to achieve ubiquity across online shopping by accelerating the merchant onboarding process, and empowering merchants to self-manage all aspects of their integration.

We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer to join us and help fulfill our vision. The work will be challenging due to the speed at which the market is growing, and the work involved will directly impact the growth trajectory of the merchant network.

  • Build relationships with people across engineering and other organizations for the design, implementation, roll-out and maintenance of projects.
  • Actively participate in making their team and workplace an inclusive environment for people from all backgrounds.

What We Look For

  • 2-4 years of experience as a software engineer
  • Interest working with cross-functional teams including Product, Design, Analytics and Business teams.
  • Ability to synthesize complex business, product, and technical requirements to consistently produce high quality system designs and software.
  • A humble team-player who places the needs of others first and participates in the development of peers on the team.
  • Background integrating with and developing APIs a plus
