We are looking for Senior Software Engineers for ZeroToSixty (ZTS), Affirm’s new product accelerator organization.

-Collaborating with other leads within ZeroToSixty and Affirm Engineering team to execute on a roadmap of open source tools that reduce the time from a new idea to learnings in market
-Working closely with product, design, analytics, and the executive team to execute on objectives and evaluate success of new products
-Help scale successful MVPs in collaboration with the core Engineering team
What We Look For:
-3-7+ years of software engineering industry experience.

-Prior experience contributing to projects with development agencies.
-Strong cross-team communication and collaboration skills.
-Proven ability to technically mentor engineers and communicate technical ideas.
-Passionate about Affirm's Mission: Deliver Honest Financial Products that improve lives
-Humble: You have the humility and self-awareness to understand and navigate the unknown
-User Focused: Cares about the details in the user experience
-Prior experience architecting, building, launching and maintaining financial products, especially high-traffic payment processors is not required but is a definite plus
-Domain expertise in card processing or interfacing with core bank processors such as FIS or TSYS is not required, but is a definite plus
