Staff Software Engineer, Affirm Bank serves as a technical anchor for an AI-native team managing systems for a new bank charter. This role involves setting the long-term technical strategy and architecture for core surfaces including cloud infrastructure, data platforms, networking, and CI/CD pipelines. You will own high-stakes problems like the integration boundary between the bank and Affirm Inc, while leading vendor selection across identity, observability, and card-processing stacks. The work requires building systems that are audit-ready for examiners and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. Key technical requirements include proficiency in AWS, Terraform, and Snowflake, alongside a commitment to using AI tools like Claude or Cursor as force multipliers.
