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.
Affirm's engineering team is building a large-scale, fault-tolerant, and global infrastructure that is shared across multiple financial products, merchants, and vendors. Ensuring that our infrastructure is transparently available to all engineers is critical to the success of the business. We pride ourselves on our culture across engineering of writing blameless postmortems as well as writing detailed tech specs and gathering feedback before large changes to systems.
The AI Platform team owns Affirm's paved path for building, running, evaluating, and governing AI systems. Our customers are not only Affirm users, but also every engineer and a growing set of production workloads at Affirm. As a team, we are responsible for building and exposing simple, governed interfaces to models, tools, and agents, with identity, cost attribution, reliability, and security built in. Examples of components we own include the LLM Gateway that fronts every approved model (Claude, ChatGPT, and open-weight models across AWS Bedrock and other providers), the MCP Gateway that mediates and audits tool calls, the Agent Runtime that gives agentic workloads bounded execution, and the evals and observability layer that tells teams whether an AI change is better, cheaper, or safe to ship. We are early: the gateway is in daily use across engineering, the first production agent is live, and the next year takes us from developer productivity to production inference and agents.
