Job description

At Affim, we exist for the moments that matter—giving people a clear, predictable way to pay over time, with no hidden fees, no surprises, and no tradeoffs on what matters most.

About The InfoSec Team

The InfoSec team protects Affim’s systems and data from evolving threats. We manage security risk, monitor vulnerabilities, and enforce protective controls across the company. The team leads incident response, compliance, identity and access management, and employee training. Our goal is to ensure that security is built into every system and decision at Affim. We maintain a secure, trustworthy environment so the business can operate and grow with confidence.

About The Role

We are building the next generation of enterprise Identity and Access Management at Affim. This role combines hands-on IAM operations, automation, and production software engineering to make identity services more reliable, scalable, and easier to operate.

You will help run core access lifecycle processes, troubleshoot production issues, and automate repetitive work. You will also build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect identity platforms with internal systems.

Software engineering is a must-have. You will work primarily with SailPoint and enterprise identity integrations, with CIAM-adjacent Auth0 work where enterprise systems intersect with customer identity. This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who wants to develop deep IAM expertise without stepping away from hands‑on coding.

What You’ll Do

• Run and improve IAM operations, including access lifecycle work, requests, certifications, and issue resolution
• Automate repetitive processes with scripts, services, and workflow improvements
• Build and maintain production backend software, APIs, tests, and integrations
• Connect SailPoint and workforce identity events with internal systems
• Build a paved path that enables Affim employees to create modern internal tools with Auth0
• Partner with Security, IT, and Engineering on secure, auditable changes
• Maintain runbooks, operational metrics, and escalation support

Example Problems You May Work On

• Fixing a provisioning workflow and adding monitoring or retries
• Reconciling access between source systems and SailPoint
• Building an API integration for identity lifecycle events
• Creating reusable Auth0 patterns, tooling, and documentation for internal applications

What We Look For

• 2+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent internship/co‑op experience with strong projects
• Ability to write, test, and operate production‑quality backend code in Python or a similar language
• Strong foundations in APIs, debugging, logging, error handling, and distributed systems
• Experience with GitHub, CI/CD, testing, and code review
• Comfort owning operational work and troubleshooting production issues
• Familiarity with cloud environments; AWS preferred
• Strong written communication and documentation skills

Nice to Have

• Exposure to IAM, IGA, SSO, SAML, OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, or identity governance
• Experience with SailPoint, Auth0, Okta, OneLogin, or similar platforms
• Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure‑as‑code tools
• Familiarity with audit or compliance environments
