Software Engineering Intern - Summer 2024

Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.

Are you passionate about software engineering and eager to make a real-world impact? Join us on a journey where your coding skills will shape the future of finance.

We're excited to launch this brand new hybrid office Intern program for computer science or related majors. The program will kick off in May 2024.
Choose one of our offices— New York City or San Francisco—to work out of and participate in our direct mentorship program. Please apply to only one city to streamline the process so provide each candidate with the best consideration.
This program requires you to work out of the office for three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—to collaborate with your team, early career Affirmers, and your engineering mentor. You'll experience the best of both worlds: the in-office experience and remote work.
You'll be paired with an engineering mentor who you'll work alongside and meet with weekly.

What You'll Do

Interns are responsible for developing and shipping a project and verifying that it works in production. Because things are changing fast at Affirm, we do not specify intern projects in advance, instead you will collaborate with your mentor and manager when you start to spec a project that will best contribute to your team.

This role will ship code and monitor the deployment of your work. Our intern projects are not isolated or intended to be thrown away: your team will depend on your contributions!
We pair interns with a dedicated mentor who will be by your side to give advice and ensure the success of your project. Expect to meet with them on a regular basis and receive feedback.
There are opportunities to attend events with other Affirmers! Past events have included themed lunches, and executive fireside chats.
Interns present their work to the engineering organization at the end of the internship.

What We Look For:

Experience with one of the following languages: Python, C/C++, Java, Kotlin, Javascript, reactJS and/or similar languages
Familiarity with deployment and automated testing frameworks
Ability to collaborate with your team in a fast-paced environment
Passion and drive to change consumer banking for the better!

Compensation is a set amount for the Intern role with no range.

USA hourly base pay: $55.00

USA monthly base pay: $9,500

Affirm is proud to be a remote-first company! The majority of our roles are remote and you can work almost anywhere within the country of employment. Affirmers in proximal roles have the flexibility to work remotely, but will occasionally be required to work out of their assigned Affirm office. A limited number of roles remain office-based due to the nature of their job responsibilities.

Health care coverage - Affirm covers all premiums for all levels of coverage for you and your dependents
Flexible Spending Wallets - generous stipends for spending on Technology, Food, various Lifestyle needs, and family forming expenses
