Build an AI-assisted reliability command center for Affirm's production systems
Affirm is hiring a Backend Software Engineer to build a next-generation reliability platform, including a centralized command center for system health and AI agents that assist with incident triage and root-cause exploration. The role requires 1.5+ years of software engineering experience with strong Python proficiency and explicitly expects heavy use of AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Claude, Copilot-like) as part of the daily workflow. This interview probes backend/API design for data-intensive systems, ownership of ambiguous problems end-to-end, and comfort embedding LLMs into developer tooling with guardrails.
