Job description

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 Online Infrastructure team is the backbone of Affirm engineering. We provide the Kubernetes-based platform, traffic engineering, and supporting services that run all of Affirm - enabling management, configuration, provisioning, and operation of our computing infrastructure. We deliver a platform for infrastructure and product engineering teams to run their workloads at scale. Our customers are not only Affirm users, but also other engineering teams at Affirm. We aspire to provide simple and self-serve interfaces that are used daily by every engineer at Affirm.

What you’ll do

Lead technical decisions, projects, and roadmaps within the Online Infrastructure team. You will shape and own Affirm’s strategy for managing and serving our computing workloads.
Collaborate with peers, leadership, and stakeholders across the platform engineering and product engineering organizations.
Design and implement frameworks, services, and tools to handle new Affirm products and business needs that can securely scale across millions of users and their transactions.
Guide, tutor, and aid in the professional growth of junior and senior engineers within the team, promoting best practices in design, coding, and testing.

What we look for

Proficient in Kubernetes, OpenShift, or other container orchestration technologies.
Experience with cloud-native traffic management, networking, and security concepts at scale (Istio, Cilium, eBPF)
Experience in designing and creating cloud-native CD systems with ArgoCD, Flux, or similar technologies.
Solid CS fundamentals and practical coding and debugging experience using modern software delivery methods to develop services with Python, Go, C++, or JVM-based languages (Java, Kotlin, Scala).
Experience with Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure Cloud, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), or other cloud providers.
Familiarity with Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) is a plus. Our stack includes Kubernetes, Docker, Envoy, Istio, and Nginx, but we are open to exploring new technologies.
Have an enthusiastic vision for leading technical teams and mentoring other engineers
You prefer leveraging, enhancing, and contributing to Open Source solutions rather than starting from scratch.
Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, related technical field, or equivalent practical experience.
