At Affirm, 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.
As a Merchant Risk Analyst, you will assess financial risk related to credit, fraud and identity associated with the merchants. You will also coordinate with cross-functional partners to assess non-financial risk – brand, reputational, legal and compliance risk.
The ideal candidate will have knowledge or experience in e-commerce underwriting and/or commercial lending. They will also have a solid understanding of evaluating merchant financial risk based on 3rd party data, credit reports, and other merchant attributes. Prior work experience in payments, lending, banking or financial institutions is a plus!

Remote-first with flexibility built in
Affirm is proud to be a remote-first company. Most roles can be done from almost anywhere within the country of employment. Some positions may occasionally require in-person work at an Affirm office, and a few are office-based due to the nature of the work. All new hires will be invited to attend an in-person onboarding experience.

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.
