About Affirm
What is Affirm?
Affirm is a consumer-finance fintech that lets shoppers pay for purchases over time. In its own words, "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." Its products include pay-over-time options at checkout, the Affirm Card (a Visa debit card), and the Affirm Money Account, and it partners with thousands of merchants.
Where will I work?
Affirm is a remote-first company, but remote does not mean work-from-anywhere — remote roles are tied to your country of residence: "If your role is remote, you can set up shop anywhere in your home country," and "The majority of our roles are remote and you can work almost anywhere within the country of employment." Open roles span the US, Canada, the UK, Spain, Poland and the Netherlands, with offices including San Francisco. Affirm notes that "A limited number of roles remain office-based due to the nature of their job responsibilities," and some roles are "proximal," requiring occasional time in an assigned office.
What is the Affirm team like?
Affirm works across credit, risk, analytics, engineering, operations and compliance to run a large-scale lending platform. Job descriptions emphasize ownership and a fast-moving environment — teams "take ownership of the entire analytical lifecycle, from initial question to final business decision." The company highlights inclusion through "employee resource groups and community groups," and frames its benefits around a stated value that people come first.
Work-Life Balance
Affirm offers flexible, generous time off — "Take the time you need when life happens" — alongside 20 company-wide paid days off it calls "Away days," so teams can collectively rest and recharge. Parental support is substantial: "Birth and non-birth parents get 18 weeks' paid leave. Plus, a 4-week return-to-work transition program, at full base pay." The remote-first model adds day-to-day flexibility within your home country.
Perks and Benefits
Affirm fully covers healthcare premiums: "Affirm covers all premiums for all levels of coverage for you and your dependents," including "100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents." It provides mental-health programs, and "spending wallets" — stipends for "tech, food, lifestyle, and family planning" expenses. Employees can buy discounted shares through an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). Affirm runs learning-and-development programs to "level up your growth," and operates a transparent, posted-salary pay structure (e.g. a US base range of $115,000–$155,000 for one analyst role).
