Job description

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.

We’re seeking a forward-thinking IT Engineer to help design, automate, and secure Affim’s growing technology ecosystem. Our ideal candidate thrives at the intersection of systems architecture and hands‑on development—building integrations, leveraging AI‑assisted tools, and driving automation that scales across the enterprise. As an IT Engineer, you’ll play a key role in advancing operational excellence, strengthening security, and empowering teams through smarter, more connected systems.

What You’ll Do

• Technical Strategy & Systems Design: Partner with business and technical stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable, secure, and user‑centric solutions. Design architectures that integrate SaaS platforms, identity systems, and automations across the enterprise.
• Automation & Integration Development: Build and maintain automations using REST APIs, scripting languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript), and workflow platforms (e.g., Okta Workflows, Workato, Zapier). Streamline repetitive processes and strengthen cross‑system interoperability.
• AI & Emerging Technology Enablement: Leverage AI‑assisted tools to accelerate development, incident response, and documentation. Experiment with generative AI and workflow intelligence to improve IT operations and knowledge management.
• Operational Reliability & Security: Enhance the reliability and resilience of critical IT services. Implement monitoring, alerting, and governance practices that protect data and maintain compliance with security standards.
• Incident Resolution & Root Cause Analysis: Troubleshoot technical issues efficiently, conduct root cause analyses, and deliver durable long‑term fixes that reduce operational noise and support business continuity.
• Knowledge Sharing & Collaboration: Create and maintain technical documentation, playbooks, and process diagrams. Mentor teammates and contribute to a culture of transparency, automation, and continuous improvement.

What We Look For

• 3–5 years of experience in IT Engineering, Systems Administration, or Solutions Engineering within a SaaS or enterprise environment.
• Deep understanding of modern SaaS ecosystems, SSO/SCIM integrations, and identity/access management frameworks (e.g., Okta, Azure AD).
• Hands‑on experience coding and automating with APIs and scripting languages (Python, JavaScript/TypeScript).
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills—capable of bridging business goals with technical implementation.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver measurable results in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment.

Pluses

• Experience with workflow automation platforms such as Okta Workflows, Workato, Zapier, Tines, or equivalent.
• Familiarity with AI‑assisted development (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT, CodeWhisperer) and its applications in IT and automation.
• Knowledge of SaaS management and governance frameworks, including lifecycle management and license optimization.
• Background in cloud‑based infrastructure (e.g., AWS, GCP, or Azure) and DevOps practices.
• Strong analytical mindset and a passion for improving team productivity through smarter systems design.
• Experience working with distributed, cross‑functional teams and influencing outcomes across multiple stakeholders.
