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, and we're looking for
a Software Engineer to join us! 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!

· With the support of your team’s tech lead and manager, you will break down
larger projects into individual tasks, deliver them in multiple phases, and
collaborate with others to ensure timely delivery of your work.
· You will support your peers and stakeholders in the product development
lifecycle by collaborating with product management, design & analytics by
participating in ideation, articulating technical constraints, and partnering on
decisions that properly consider risks and trade-offs.
· You will support the operations and availability of your team’s artifacts by
creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and supporting “keep
the lights on” & on-call efforts.
· You will contribute to a sense of community on your team by engaging in growth
and development activities such as participation in the interview process.
What We Look For:
· You have a total of 1.5+ years of experience as a software engineer.
· You have experience shipping web apps using declarative UI frameworks like
React or Vue.
· You have experience designing, developing and launching APIs at scale using
languages like Python or Kotlin.
· You have mastered taking a simple problem or business scenario into a solution
that interacts with multiple software components, and executing on it by writing
clear, easily understood, well tested and extensible code.
· You are comfortable navigating a large code base, debugging others' code, and
providing feedback to other engineers through code reviews.
· Your experience demonstrates that you take ownership of your growth,
proactively seeking feedback from your team, your manager, and your
stakeholders.
· You have strong verbal and written communication skills that support effective
collaboration with our global engineering team.
