At Affirm/Returnly, we value you as a whole person.

  • Drive quality by writing unit, integration, and performance tests in a continuous delivery environment
  • Make decisions based on data and be pragmatic
  • Work closely with Product and Leadership
  • Help define and prioritize features
  • Produce documentation that helps the team understand complex parts of the system
  • Go beyond engineering by working closely with our support representatives where we help triage and debug technical support requests

What we look for

  • 6+ years industry experience and expert knowledge using JVM languages; Spring Boot and functional languages is a big plus
  • Strong familiarity with *nix environment including bash and command-line tools
  • Deep understanding of database methodology and database systems and strong experience with relational and non-relational databases
  • Familiarity with RDBMS design for both OLTP and Data Warehousing is a plus
  • Excellent knowledge of web service technologies, architectures, patterns and REST best-practices
  • Deep understanding of distributed systems in a cloud environment (AWS a plus!), and event-driven architectures
  • Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, a related field or equivalent experience.
  • Strong interpersonal and communication skills are required. Excellent command of the English language, both written and spoken is a must for communicating with a global team
  • Startup experience, and/or demonstrable contributions to open source projects or similar is a big plus

  • An apple laptop and whatever you need to do your job comfortably and productively.
  • We do performance and compensation reviews, and we will try to help you become your better self, be it via mentoring, training, feedback or the possibility to dab on fields where you are not yet an expert.
  • We have a very flexible approach to working hours. You can stop to go to the gym, get your little ones to or from school, meditate or do whatever you need or want. There is a need for a certain amount of overlap with Pacific Coast working hours needed for meetings and collaboration that does not fit into asynchronous communications, however, we try to prioritize those, and your main collaborators are based in Spain.
