Manager, Software Engineering (Identity)

Описание

Affirm's Identity team is mission-critical to the customer checkout experience, owning Identity for all markets outside North America and playing a key role in international expansion.

Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a well-balanced team of engineers – setting clear expectations, giving direct feedback, and developing each engineer toward their next level
• Own the team's technical strategy and multi-quarter roadmap, tying it to major experience initiatives that build customer trust and move Affirm's business, including large-scale redesigns and structural improvements to the identity verification journey
• Empower your tech lead and engineers to hold the design and quality bar, supporting them hands-on throughout technical design and cross-functional alignment
• Own the availability, reliability, and performance of consumer-critical systems – on-call, incident response, and reducing operational toil
• Drive alignment across multiple organizations and influence roadmaps on partner experience and foundational teams
• Partner across Product, Design, Analytics, and other Engineering teams, building trust and taking part in cross-functional efforts

Requirements

• 7+ years of software engineering experience, including 3+ years managing and growing engineering teams
• Proven experience delivering consumer-facing software and driving execution through ambiguity
• The technical judgment required to guide architecture, quality, and reliability decisions, with the instinct to empower senior engineers to make the calls rather than making them all yourself
• Experience leading significant technical initiatives end-to-end, ideally decoupling or re-platforming consumer-facing systems within clear time constraints
• A calm, decisive presence through change and ambiguity – building alignment, resolving tensions, and leading others through complex decisions
• A humble, team-first leadership style that builds a high-trust, psychologically safe culture, while also prioritizing your own growth
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to balance customer needs, business goals, and technical constraints
• Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and organizational influence skills
• A proven ability to build alignment and drive outcomes in complex environments without direct authority
• Equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field
