Role
Who you are
- We're looking for a dynamic Partner Engineer with full-stack skills to join our Developer Support Engineering team
- Your communication to developers and business owners alike is technically sophisticated, authentic, and genuinely helpful. You delight normally cynical engineers, who are used to the ‘black-hole’ support experiences they get from the traditional players
- Fluent in full stack development and distributed systems
- 1- 3 years of software engineering experience
- Proficiency in Kotlin, Python, Javascript, React or similar programming languages
- Strong cross-team communication and collaboration
- Familiarity with AWS, RPC, MySQL and Github
- Experienced at synthesizing complex business, product, and technical requirements to consistently produce high quality system designs and software
What the job involves
- This role is critical to Affirm’s business, enabling automated service level agreement reporting & incident communications platforms for our merchants. Alongside developing full-stack software systems, you will identify and seamlessly fix bugs on our merchant integrations
- You will combine your skills as a full-stack developer and an empathetic communicator to debug complex technical issues
- Partner Engineers on the Developer Support Engineering team are a part of the engineering organization at Affirm and work closely with Product, Operations, Account Management, and Merchant Care teams
- Plan, design, communicate and implement reliable and extensible software systems
- Build and maintain services that store the service level agreement data and incident communications workflows that build trust with our merchants
- Lead others by example to establish a collaborative work environment that fosters autonomy, transparency, high degree of craftsmanship, and personal growth
- Facilitate technical discussions and plans to improve our software quality
- Fix integration bugs autonomously to support thousands of merchants
- Collaborate with engineers within our partner extensions team and across the organization to fix integration bugs
- Participate in Incident Communications on-call rotations
Our take
Affirm offers point-of-sale loans to consumers, working with merchants like Shopify, KAYAK, and Walmart. Buy now, pay later transactions have grown in popularity in recent years, and this business is tapping into the market with a totally different approach to credit - by delivering the Affirm card, the first US debit card with the option to pay-over-time.
Boating over 15 million customers and 245,000+ merchants, the company offers flexible payback options, ranging from 3 to 36 months. The interest rates run between 0% and 30%, so, while they are not necessarily the cheapest option, Affirm prides itself on having no fees for late payments, no hidden charges, and total transparency about what people will pay before they take out a loan.
Affirm collects payments from the customers and pays the merchants directly, shouldering the risk itself. The company has boosted its market share, expanding its availability beyond the US to include most of Canada, and continues to launch new features and create new partnerships towards bettering its offering.
