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. Affirm, Inc. proudly includes Affirm, PayBright, and Returnly.

The Financial Infrastructure team is responsible for providing the infrastructure (e.g., payment processing, card issuing) that powers Affirm's financial transactions (both for financial product use cases and beyond).
You will ensure a platform-first approach to financial infrastructure, existing and new products. This will be achieved by taking a proactive approach, anticipating the needs of the entire business by building and maintaining a deep understanding of the business strategy and direction.
