At Affirm
At Affirm, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.
The International Accelerator Engineering team is growing
We're a full-stack team located entirely in Europe within the same time zone, but culturally rooted in Silicon Valley. We directly improve the financial lives of over 20 million people shaping how Affirm builds Direct-to-Consumer products for Canada, the UK, and future international markets. We build and own various products used by our consumers, like the Affirm App and other Direct to Consumer products across international markets. We are here to make sure we reach and provide useful tools to our users so they can experience honest financial products at their fullest.
Our work is agile and fast-paced, shipping new code to production for millions to use across geographies and rigorously measuring the impact it has on them. This role rewards curiosity, ownership, ability to zoom in and out, switch contexts often, also in an open contribution model, and a builder's mindset. You'll know exactly what your objectives are, you'll have what you need to hit them, and you'll choose your own path to get there, while constantly looking for ways to get AI to increase productivity on a daily basis. You'll learn quickly from experienced teammates and grow your craft on problems that matter at scale.
If you want to build something new and operate it at scale – come join us!
