Affirm's primary business is lending, and the Loans Lifecycle domain is responsible for maintaining the system of record for all loans at Affirm. As we scale into new geographies, products, and funding structures, the complexity and criticality of this domain continues to grow. We are seeking to hire a Director to lead the Loans Lifecycle engineering organization, spanning the Loans Platform, Ledger Engineering, and Financial Reporting teams. What You'll Do • Set the vision and drive execution for the Loans Lifecycle engineering organization at Affirm, encompassing Loans Platform, Ledger Engineering, and Financial Reporting. • Take ownership of core engineering and business outcomes across the domain, including the loan system of record, ledger pipelines, and financial data delivery to accounting systems. • Define and execute the technical roadmap for service-oriented decomposition, platform scalability, and database architecture evolution to support Affirm's growing loan volume across multiple geographies. • Partner with Accounting, Finance, Capital Markets, Product, and Compliance to ensure financial accuracy and regulatory compliance across all loan products. • Balance product expansion efforts - including international launches, new loan types, and card-related capabilities - with foundational platform investments in reliability, correctness, speed, and operational efficiency. • Drive operational excellence across large-scale batch pipelines and online services, establishing robust incident response, pipeline SLA management, and reconciliation processes. • Run a robust development lifecycle, including continuing agentic adoption and acceleration, while improving a culture of operational excellence. • Hire, develop, and retain a high-performing, globally distributed engineering team across multiple sub-teams and technical disciplines. What We Look For • 15+ years of relevant experience in software engineering. • 3+ years managing managers with a track record of high quality manager development. • Experience leading multiple engineering teams spanning backend services and big data/batch pipelines. • Successful track record driving key outcomes that drive the company's success. • Comfortable partnering across disciplines and influencing across a wide variety of leaders. • Experience hiring, growing, and retaining talent. • Strong technical depth in distributed systems, data-intensive applications, and database architecture at scale. • Has domain knowledge in financial systems, lending, accounting, or fintech.
