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.
