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.

The InfoSec team protects Affirm's systems and data from evolving threats. We manage security risk, monitor vulnerabilities, and enforce protective controls across the company. The team leads incident response, compliance, identity and access management, and employee training. Our goal is to ensure that security is built into every system and decision at Affirm. We maintain a secure, trustworthy environment so the business can operate and grow with confidence.

We are building the next generation of enterprise Identity and Access Management at Affirm. This role combines hands-on IAM operations, automation, and production software engineering to make identity services more reliable, scalable, and easier to operate.

You will help run core access lifecycle processes, troubleshoot production issues, and automate repetitive work. You will also build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect identity platforms with internal systems. Software engineering is a must-have. You will work primarily with SailPoint and enterprise identity integrations, with CIAM-adjacent Auth0 work where enterprise systems intersect with customer identity. This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who wants to develop deep IAM expertise without stepping away from hands-on coding.

What you'll do:

  • Run and improve IAM operations, including access lifecycle work, requests, certifications, and issue resolution
  • Automate repetitive processes with scripts, services, and workflow improvements
  • Build and maintain production backend software, APIs, tests, and integrations
  • Connect SailPoint and workforce identity events with internal systems
  • Build a paved path that enables Affirm employees to create modern internal tools with Auth0
  • Partner with Security, IT, and Engineering on secure, auditable changes
  • Maintain runbooks, operational metrics, and escalation support

Example problems you may work on:

  • Fixing a provisioning workflow and adding monitoring or retries
  • Reconciling access between source systems and SailPoint
  • Building an API integration for identity lifecycle events
  • Creating reusable Auth0 patterns, tooling, and documentation for internal applications

What we look for:

  • 2+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent internship/co-op experience with strong projects
  • Ability to write, test, and operate production-quality backend code in Python or a similar language
  • Strong foundations in APIs, debugging, logging, error handling, and distributed systems
  • Experience with GitHub, CI/CD, testing, and code review
  • Comfort owning operational work and troubleshooting production issues
  • Familiarity with cloud environments; AWS preferred
  • Strong written communication and documentation skills

Nice to Have:

  • Exposure to IAM, IGA, SSO, SAML, OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, or identity governance
  • Experience with SailPoint, Auth0, Okta, OneLogin, or similar platforms
  • Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools
  • Familiarity with audit or compliance environments

This remote role is open only to candidates residing in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, or Saskatchewan.

Affirm focuses on providing a simple and transparent pay structure which is based on a variety of factors, including location, experience and job-related skills. Base pay is part of a total compensation package that may include monthly stipends for health, wellness and tech spending, and benefits (including 100% subsidized medical coverage, dental and vision for you and your dependents). In addition, the employees may be eligible for equity rewards offered by Affirm Holdings, Inc. (parent company). CAN base pay range per year: $133,000 - $183,000 CAD.

Our benefits reflect our commitment to care, transparency, and flexibility. Here are a few highlights:

  • Health coverage at no cost: We cover 100% of premiums for employees and their dependents.
  • Spending stipends: Monthly stipends support your tech setup, and the ability to choose health and wellness options that are right for you.
  • Time off to recharge: Flexible time off and generous holiday calendars help you rest when you need to.
  • Own a piece of what you build: Our employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) lets you buy Affirm stock at a discount.
