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 Credit Decisioning team is essential to every transaction at Affirm, providing scalable underwriting decisions for integrated point-of-sale (POS) merchants and wallet platforms across the US, Canada, and the UK.

This specific role is within the Credit Core sub-team, which focuses on building the foundations and credit levers for scaling our underwriting and providing responsible access to credit. A key part of this team's work involves developing new underwriting features and products to expand Affirm's product offerings and enable sustainable growth.

Working closely with cross-functional partners in Engineering, ML, Risk, Analytics, Product, and Capital, this role offers a direct opportunity to work on launches that have a significant business impact.

Affirmers in proximal roles have the flexibility to work remotely, but will occasionally be required to work out of their assigned Affirm office. A limited number of roles remain office-based due to the nature of their job responsibilities.

We’re extremely proud to offer competitive benefits that are anchored to our core value of people come first. Some key highlights of our benefits package include: 

  • Health care coverage - Affirm covers all premiums for all levels of coverage for you and your dependents 
  • Flexible Spending Wallets - generous stipends for spending on Technology, Food, various Lifestyle needs, and family forming expenses
  • Time off - competitive vacation and holiday schedules allowing you to take time off to rest and recharge
  • ESPP - An employee stock purchase plan enabling you to buy shares of Affirm at a discount

We believe It’s On Us to provide an inclusive interview experience for all, including people with disabilities. We are happy to provide reasonable accommodations to candidates in need of individualized support during the hiring process.
