# Software Engineer I, Backend (Continuous Delivery)

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. Our team sits within Developer Productivity, whose mission is to make software development at Affirm simpler and faster across the company. The broader org owns much of the path between a developer’s laptop and production, including developer environments, CI/CD pipelines, test automation, dependency management, and release engineering, all in service of helping engineers ship code quickly, safely, and with confidence. The Continuous Delivery team’s charter is centered on enabling engineering teams to release independently through strong automation, standard patterns, predictable rollouts, resilient recovery mechanisms, and less manual toil. This role is uniquely positioned to help solve one of Affirm’s most important engineering challenges: scaling developer productivity in an era where the software development lifecycle is increasingly AI-enhanced. The team builds and improves the platforms, workflows, and guardrails that help engineers move from idea to production faster, with better safety, consistency
