Manager, Software Engineering (Fraud) at Affirm

This role is ideal for a seasoned engineering leader with at least 2–3 years of experience managing high-performing teams, specifically within backend distributed systems. While a strong technical foundation is required for architecture reviews, the focus is on people management and cross-functional strategy. Candidates with a background in fraud, risk, or financial platform systems will have a significant advantage in this "remote-first" environment. The compensation is highly competitive, with a base salary reaching up to $275,000 depending on location, plus equity and an ESPP. Affirm stands out with its "people-first" benefits, including 100% employer-paid medical premiums for you and your dependents and flexible spending stipends for technology and lifestyle needs. You will lead a lean team of six engineers, offering a high-impact opportunity to shape the company’s core defense infrastructure. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have managed engineering teams in a fast-paced, high-growth environment for 2+ years. * Possess deep knowledge of scalable backend architecture and distributed systems. * Thrive on cross-functional collaboration with ML, Product, and Analytics teams. * Are passionate about fintech and building honest, transparent financial products.
