Senior Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Build and operate core platform capabilities
• Design and implement platform features that enable engineers across Affirm to build, deploy, and operate data applications at scale — covering automated provisioning, deploy pipelines, access control, service lifecycle management, and reliability tooling.
• Develop integrations
• Build and maintain integrations between the platform and internal systems — CI/CD pipelines, identity and secrets management, external APIs, and event-driven hooks — so that application teams have secure, reliable, and self-service access to the tools they need.
• Strengthen data access and governance
• Design and operate secure data access patterns across the platform's analytical infrastructure, including RBAC, managed-access schemas, dynamic data masking, secure views, and cross-database grants that make platform data trustworthy without creating operational bottlenecks.
• Automate toil and unlock self-service
• Identify recurring support patterns — access provisioning, data pipeline failures, service health management, secrets management — and build the automation and tooling to make them self-service for platform users, eliminating manual admin work.
• Improve observability and incident response
• Build telemetry, alerting, and log infrastructure so platform teams and application owners can diagnose and resolve issues independently. Establish runbooks and operational patterns that reduce blast radius and recovery time.
