Staff Software Engineer, Backend (Order Platform)

As a Staff Software Engineer on the Order Platform team, you'll shape the systems that power every Affirm purchase after checkout — orders, captures, refunds, and settlement — and drive the technical strategy that lets our merchants and consumers transact reliably at scale. Your work raises the bar for reliability and simplicity across our engineering systems, keeping the platform highly available while defining the capabilities that unlock future product needs.

We're a small, senior team doing high-leverage work within Financial Platforms. Today we're consolidating the internal platform behind Affirm's post-checkout APIs — drawing clean domain boundaries, migrating existing merchants, and enabling future product launches. You'll set technical direction, mentor a strong group of engineers, and own decisions that matter for years.
