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’s engineering team is building a large-scale, fault-tolerant, and global infrastructure that is shared across multiple financial products. Ensuring that our infrastructure is available to all engineers is critical to the success of the business. We pride ourselves on our culture across engineering of writing blameless postmortems as well as writing detailed tech specs and gathering feedback before large changes to systems.
The Traffic Engineering team owns Affirm’s critical routing and network infrastructure to run Affirm’s core product. Our customers are not only Affirm users, but also other engineering teams at Affirm. As a team, we are responsible for building and exposing simple interfaces of online infrastructure components. Examples of components we own include the CDN edge routing layer to cache and optimize requests to Affirm.com, the RPC layer for internal service-to-service communication, and our gateway and sidecar artifacts to control traffic.
