You'll collaborate closely with stakeholders across North America - including teams in Product, Compliance, Machine Learning, Fraud Operations, Fraud Strategy, and other Fraud Engineering teams. What You'll Do - You will own and deliver quarterly goals for your team, leading engineers through ambiguity to solve open-ended problems, and ensuring that everyone is supported throughout delivery. - You will design and implement real-time fraud decisioning services and APIs in Python or Kotlin, extending Affirm's Fraud Decisioning System to markets beyond the US. - You will build and evolve the platform and tooling that let Affirm launch fraud decisioning in a new country quickly—turning market-by-market setup (rules, models, and vendor configuration) into a repeatable, low-friction path so launches scale sub-linearly with the number of markets. - You will integrate region-specific fraud and risk vendors and help operationalize the machine learning and AI signals that power real-time decisioning, while using modern AI tooling to move faster as an engineer. - You will support peers and stakeholders across the product development lifecycle - collaborating with Product, Machine Learning, Analytics, and Fraud Strategy, articulating technical constraints, and partnering on decisions that properly weigh risks and trade-offs. - You will support the operations and availability of your team's systems by creating and monitoring metrics, escalating when needed, and contributing to keep-the-lights-on and on-call efforts. - You will foster a culture of quality and ownership - setting and improving code review and design standards, mentoring teammates, and leading by example. - On-Call Rotation - There would be an on-call rotation for this role as a requirement. What We Look For - 5+ years of experience building backend systems at scale using Python or Kotlin. - Experience with distributed systems and infrastructure using AWS, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and Kubernetes. - Strong system design skills and a track record of delivering maintainable, extensible services. - Fluency with AI-driven engineering - every Affirm engineer builds with tools like Claude Code and most PRs are co-authored with AI, so directing and orchestrating AI and excelling in the reviewer's seat (setting intent, critically evaluating generated code, and owning its correctness, quality, and security) is a core expectation. - Proficiency in SQL and working with data-rich environments. - Familiarity with CI/CD practices and safe production deployments. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, especially in distributed teams. - A proactive, ownership-driven mindset with a focus on learning and team success. - Experience with Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, or Chronosphere (nice to have) - Background in fraud prevention, risk systems, or real-time decisioning (nice to have) - Experience building for multiple markets or regions - internationalization or localization (nice to have) - Experience working in the fintech sector or other highly regulated environments, with a strong understanding of risk, compliance, and operational constraints.
