Senior Software Engineer (Developer Productivity)

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.

Developer Productivity engineering’s purpose is to make work better for every engineer at Affirm. This group is focused on development tooling, pre-production environments, and everything that makes working in a complex technical environment easier and more efficient. We manage everything between the developer’s laptop all the way to production–everything in between including ephemeral development environments, CI/CD pipeline and workflow, test automation framework, dependency management, and release engineering. We help developers write code and release into production as quickly and as safely as possible. Effectively serving a 800+ strong engineering group working across a wide array of technologies in a hypergrowth Fintech environment is a fascinating challenge.
