Software Engineer, Backend (Issuing) at Affirm

Software Engineer, Backend (Issuing) Location: Remote US

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 Issuing Engineering team owns the virtual card issuing platform at Affirm. Virtual cards enable consumers to leverage Affirm's financial products at effectively any merchant that accepts card payments, supporting online ecommerce, physical in-store, and digital wallet integrations such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. By providing the systems that bridge Affirm and external open-loop credit networks like Visa, the Issuing team is critical in enabling increased scale beyond Affirm's direct merchant integration network. We are looking for a highly motivated software engineer to join us as we continue to build a better buying experience predicated on honesty and trust.

What You'll Do

• Work with Issuing tech leads to enable the Affirm issuing platform to reliably support an accelerating growth in the scope and scale of card issuing through both new product launches and the evolution of the system as a whole.
• Drive feature definition or support Issuing tech leads with the design, execution, and delivery of projects, taking into account multiple factors, including tradeoffs between speed, quality, usability, and upkeep.
• Partner with individuals on other teams as well as our internal and external stakeholders to help resolve project dependencies.
• Actively participate in making your team and workplace an inclusive environment for people from all backgrounds.

What We Look For

• You model integrity and a high standard of excellence for your work.
• You follow through on your commitments, take responsibility for your work, and deliver on time, resolving blockers either individually or by escalation.
• You're able to translate ideas into clear code, written to be read as well as executed, and easily understood or leveraged by others.
• You proactively identify and advocate for opportunities to improve the current state of projects, and team processes, and contribute ideas to address them.
• You actively contribute to a positive sense of community on the team and are invested in team morale.
• You have well-developed interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills.
• If you have experience in card issuing, issuer processors, or general experience in open or closed loop payment networks, that's a plus.
