Analyst I, Full Stack

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.

We’re looking for a driven, analytically-minded professional to join the Core Analytics team within the Risk & Analytics organization! Our team improves the developer experience across Affirm by building scalable data infrastructure, streamlining workflows, and fostering a culture of learning and documentation. This role sits at the intersection of data and engineering, while staying focused on turning developer workflows and system reliability into clear, actionable signals that accelerate delivery.

The Risk & Analytics team makes crucial decisions that direct Affirm’s business strategy. Our team designs and runs experiments to decide which product features to launch and which marketing campaigns to fund. We analyze performance not just to report on it, but to determine where to invest resources for maximum impact through building tools and analytical frameworks. We take ownership of the entire analytical lifecycle, from initial question to final business decision, ensuring Affirm grows efficiently and intelligently.

The ideal candidate will have strong technical and problem-solving skills, an eagerness to collaborate with different teams, curiosity to learn more every day, and patience to work through difficult problems.

What you will do

Own end-to-end analytics workflows: define success metrics, generate insights and hypotheses, and build scalable data models

Identify and drive improvements across the developer and analytics lifecycle: uncover bottlenecks, quantify their impact, then partner with teams to drive alignment and deliver measurable impact.

Build and maintain high-quality analytics foundations: establish best practices for testing, alerting, documentation, and code review to ensure data is accurate, reliable, and trusted.

Support efforts to identify and organize key business metrics, helping improve discoverability, alignment, and clarity across teams.

Continuously seek out implementing improved operational workflows and more effective analytics solutions.

Elevate the analytics community at Affirm: contribute to shared tooling, reviewing colleagues pull requests, drive knowledge sharing, and increase cross-team collaboration.

What we look for

Passion to redefine the lending and financial industry for the better

1-3 years of experience in an analytically-driven role (analytics, consulting, finance, etc.); Preferably previous experience as an Analytics Engineer, Business Intelligence, or Data Analyst roles

Strong working knowledge of SQL (preferably Snowflake)

Practical and theoretical knowledge of A/B testing is a plus

Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work cross-functionally and influence both technical and non-technical audiences

Ability to think creatively and critically and thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic, and often ambiguous work environment

Bachelor's or Master's degree in a quantitatively rigorous subject area like statistics, math, finance, economics desired

Enough laziness to find a faster way to do your least favorite tasks

Humility and team player - you go out of your way to help teammates
