Manager, Software Engineering (Repayment UX)

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

The Repayment UX Engineering team is a full-stack engineering team located entirely in Europe, together with most of our cross-functional partners. We build and own user flows that enable over 15M consumers to repay their loans each year, processing over $20B annually. The ownership is end-to-end, beginning from user comms, and spanning across our web and mobile apps, along with a “backend for frontend” orchestration layer. We continuously innovate to make the product more user-friendly, more effective, and adapt to the needs of our rapidly expanding business. Our work is agile and fast-paced, shipping new code to production almost every two-week sprint, and rigorously measuring the impact it has on the behavior of our users.

We are looking for a highly motivated engineering manager to empower the team to implement our ambitious plans. There’s a very high degree of ownership in the role: you will know precisely what your objectives are, you’ll get everything you need to achieve those objectives, and you’ll be free to choose your own path to reach them. You’ll have the opportunity to share your knowledge with others, and learn from very experienced teammates and collaborators. Come join us!

• Build and manage a full-stack team of Web, iOS, Android and/or backend engineers, while having a detailed understanding of our business, company goals, roadmap and resource plans.
• Dig deep and wide to understand the technical constraints, the company’s strategic priorities and the strengths of each team member – continuously finding the optimal solution to the puzzle.
• Drive planning and prioritization of projects based on product, technical, and business goals by leveraging relevant resources and data. 
• Collaborate with other engineering teams and cross-functional partners such as product managers, designers and analysts to deliver high quality consumer experience.
• Stand behind the systems you and your team is accountable for, empowering a “you build it, you own it” culture.
• Coach and mentor employees to increase their impact through regular performance development and feedback conversations.
• Foster a respectful and supportive environment for all team members that effectively leverages the diversity of the team.

What we look for

• 4+ years of experience as a software engineer with leadership responsibilities and 2+ years as an engineering manager.
