Files H-1B transfers
12 transfer filings in the last year, covering 12 workers. Median labor-condition decision: 8 days. An employer that already files transfers is one that can take over an existing H-1B.

About the role
- 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 Marketplace and App Experiences domain is the main pillar of our core consumer strategy, driving the user journey across all of our frontend surfaces: iOS, Android, and Web.
- As an Engineering Manager on our Consumer team, you'll help define how millions of consumers experience Affirm across our mobile apps, web experiences, and future consumer surfaces.
Responsibilities
- You will lead and grow a well-balanced team of engineers - setting clear expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing each engineer toward their next level.
- You will own the team's technical strategy and multi-quarter roadmap, tying it to major experience initiatives that build customer trust and move Affirm's business, including large-scale redesigns and structural improvements to the consumer journey.
- You will empower your tech lead and engineers to hold the design and quality bar, supporting them hands-on throughout technical design and cross-functional alignment.
- You will own the availability, reliability, and performance of consumer-critical systems - on-call, incident response, and reducing operational toil.
- You will drive alignment across multiple organizations and influence roadmaps on partner experience and foundational teams.
- You will partner across Product, Design, and Analytics, and other Engineering teams, building trust and taking part in cross-functional efforts.
Requirements
- You have the technical judgment required to guide architecture, quality, and reliability decisions, with the instinct to empower senior engineers to make the calls rather than making them all yourself.
- This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field.
- Affirmers in proximal roles have the flexibility to work remotely, but will occasionally be required to work out of their assigned Affirm office.
- You have 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing and growing engineering teams.
- You have proven experience delivering consumer-facing software and driving execution through ambiguity.
- You have experience leading significant technical initiatives end-to-end, ideally decoupling or re-platforming consumer-facing systems within clear time constraints.
- You are familiar with modern full-stack development - declarative UI frameworks like React or React Native, and a backend-for-frontend behind them.
- You have strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints.
