Affirm (Max Levchin's FinTech startup) is hiring engineers of all levels for our core platform, site reliability, security, data, UX, iOS and Android teams.

Affirm is building building a modern banking platform from the ground up. Our engineers are solving some compelling technical problems as they build infrastructure to lend money in incredibly efficient and transparent ways.

Basically, we're driven by a mission to build a bank that works seamlessly and is honest to the customer. (Compared to incredibly long terms and conditions on credit card agreements.)

Our founders have a great deal of experience in this space and have the industry connections and expertise to lead Affirm to truly revolutionize the way people use credit in the modern world.
