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.
We are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead a full-stack team building Affirm Card customer experiences. You will partner closely with Product, Design, and Analytics to ship customer-facing features while raising the bar on quality, reliability, and engineering fundamentals.
What You'll Do
- Lead and coach a team of engineers building customer experiences across React Native and supporting backend services.
- Own delivery for your team’s roadmap. Drive planning, execution, and clear stakeholder communication.
- Partner with Product, Design, and Analytics to define goals, success metrics, and priorities for Card Experience.
- Maintain a high bar for engineering excellence, including system design, code quality, testing strategy, observability, and operational readiness.
- Build healthy team processes and a strong feedback culture that supports sustained execution and team health.
- Hire and develop talent. Run structured interviews and close candidates effectively.
What We Look For
- Typically 6-8+ years in software engineering, including 3+ years managing engineers (or equivalent leadership experience).
- Experience delivering consumer-facing software and driving execution through ambiguity.
- Experience building with React Native (or leading teams transitioning to it).
- Technical depth sufficient to guide architecture and quality decisions, and to hold a high bar on engineering practices.
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to influence across teams.
- Hands-on technical leadership: Expectation to stay close to the code and architecture, including doing design/code reviews, pairing when useful, and contributing directly as needed to unblock delivery and maintain a high engineering bar.
- This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor’s degree in a related field.
