This team is responsible for building foundational operational intelligence capabilities for Affirm. This includes Affirm’s next-generation Reliability and Risk Management platform, which combines observability, AI, and operational workflows to help engineering teams proactively manage availability, resiliency, and operational excellence at scale.

This role sits at the intersection of Platform Engineering and Site Reliability Engineering.

• Develop scalable reliability, risk management, and operational governance capabilities for Affirm’s production systems using observability tooling, automation, and AI

• Build foundational systems that help engineers understand service ownership, dependencies, and operational topology across Affirm’s infrastructure and applications

• Drive alignment across Platform Engineering, SRE, Infrastructure, and product engineering teams to define requirements, prioritize investments, and deliver long-term technical roadmap outcomes

• Drive execution and delivery for critical cross-functional reliability initiatives with high organizational visibility

What we look for

• 7+ years of experience in backend or full stack engineering, with 2+ years of engineering leadership experience

• Experience working within or alongside Production Engineering or Site Reliability Engineering teams

• Expertise with observability tools, and building software or managing programs that drive engineering culture and reliability practices

• Strong operational judgment and ability to drive clarity, prioritization, and execution in ambiguous problem spaces

• Experience building internal platforms, developer tooling, reliability products, or operational automation systems at scale

• Demonstrated ability to balance rapid iteration and experimentation with operational rigor and long-term maintainability

• Strong programming background (e.g., Python, Kotlin, Java, or similar)

• Strong communication and organizational leadership skills, with a track record of aligning stakeholders, driving execution, and influencing engineering practices across teams
