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.
Come join us in our mission to change consumer finance through better data and technology, lower costs, and increased transparency while providing the best customer experience!
About the Risk & Analytics Team: The Risk & Analytics (R&A) team makes crucial decisions that direct Affirm’s business strategy. We partner with Machine Learning, Product, Engineering, Capital Markets, and Commercial teams to grow Affirm responsibly by optimizing approval, conversion, losses, and profitability.
Operating across the entire customer and merchant lifecycle, we tackle a diverse array of challenges from optimizing checkout conversion and mitigating fraud risk, to building scalable data foundations and enabling international growth. We analyze performance not just to report on it, but to determine where to invest resources for maximum impact through building tools, scalable data infrastructure, and analytical frameworks. We improve the analytics experience across Affirm by streamlining workflows and fostering a culture of learning and documentation. By taking ownership of the entire analytical lifecycle, from initial question to final business decision, we turn complex data and systems into clear, actionable signals that ensure Affirm grows efficiently and intelligently.
Our Teams (Where You Might Sit): Candidates hired into the R&A organization will be sorted into a core team based on business need and background. Our primary domains include:
As an Analyst I, you will learn the fundamentals of consumer lending while executing scoped analytical tasks on a day-to-day cadence. Working under the guidance of senior analysts and managers, you will leverage advanced data analytics to help optimize business strategies and monitor portfolio performance. You are a thoughtful, driven individual eager to build a strong technical foundation, learn how to navigate exogenous market changes, and integrate modern AI tooling to solve hard problems efficiently.

Affirm is proud to be a remote-first company! The majority of our roles are remote and you can work almost anywhere within the country of employment. Affirmers in proximal roles have the flexibility to work remotely, but will occasionally be required to work out of their assigned Affirm office. A limited number of roles remain office-based due to the nature of their job responsibilities.
We’re extremely proud to offer competitive benefits that are anchored to our core value of people come first. Some key highlights of our benefits package include:
We believe It’s On Us to provide an inclusive interview experience for all, including people with disabilities. We are happy to provide reasonable accommodations to candidates in need of individualized support during the hiring process.
[For U.S. positions that could be performed in Los Angeles or San Francisco] Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance and Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance, Affirm will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

Affirm's job board currently lists remote roles in the United States, Canada, Poland, Spain, and the United Kingdom, with Canadian hiring excluding Quebec. Remote employees can live almost anywhere within their country of employment.
Yes. Affirm maintains dedicated offices in Chicago, New York City, San Francisco, and Toronto, plus shared workspaces in Seattle, Warsaw, Madrid, and London, all available on a voluntary basis for remote employees. The company also brings teams together in person through offsites, gatherings, and collaborative working sessions.
Affirm covers 100 percent of medical premiums at every plan level for employees and their dependents, and backs that with dedicated mental health programs. Birth and non-birth parents both get 18 weeks of paid leave followed by a 4-week return-to-work transition at full base pay, and an employee stock purchase plan lets you buy Affirm shares at a discount.
Applications run through Greenhouse, and Affirm is unusually open about how it screens: AI-powered tools may help compare your resume against role requirements, but the company states that all hiring decisions are made by humans and no candidate is automatically rejected by an AI system. Candidates can request accommodations or an alternative selection process by contacting the recruiting team.
Affirm calls its people Affirmers and looks for candidates who are motivated rather than intimidated by complex problems in consumer finance. The stated values favor transparency and accountability, summed up in principles like people come first, no fine print, and it's on us.
