Staff Software Engineer, Fullstack (Account Management)

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.

The Account Management team is part of Trust & Safety within Affim's Checkout organization. We build secure, intuitive experiences that help customers protect, manage, and recover access to their accounts. Our mission is to make account security seamless without adding unnecessary friction, ensuring customers can confidently use Affim when and where they need it.

Our work spans the full account security journey - from detecting and preventing unauthorized access to enabling self-service recovery and reducing the need for customer support. We own critical experiences like Self-Service Phone Change, Settings & Security Center, and account information updates. These solutions directly impact customer trust, fraud prevention, and Affim's ability to scale safely.

We're looking for someone who takes ownership, thrives in complexity, and enjoys turning difficult security challenges into simple, meaningful customer experiences.
