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.

Is financial engineering your passion? Do you enjoy building teams and seeing your teammates excel in complex technical and business domain areas? Do you enjoy hands on coding culture and player-coach style of leadership? Here at the Affirm Bank Engineering team you will find a unique opportunity to leverage your leadership skills, while continuing to be hands on and be responsible for design and implementation of some of the most innovative financial software solutions. We are expanding a strong team of passionate engineers to advance Affirm's Core Banking platform and deliver on key product goals, and are looking for an experienced manager to grow the existing team in order to tackle new products and markets. This particular Bank Engineering team is responsible for the firm's core financial systems.

* Work cross-functionally across Affirm engineering organization as well as internal and external stakeholders. The team you are going to lead is the main engineering muscle for the consumer and merchant financial product features and requires broad collaboration and excellent team work ethics in order to execute efficiently.
* Provide leadership and growth opportunities to your team members, develop talent, mentor engineers, recruit and represent Affirm's hiring brand. Participate in conferences, industry meet-ups, and build close relationships with Affirm financial partners.

What We Look For
