Affirm's services are integrated with Apple Pay, enabling customers to make payments seamlessly from their iPhone or iPad.

📋 Description

• Build and own dbt models for the financial subledger platform (staging → intermediate → canonical facts/balances/marts → semantic), including naming conventions, macros, and reusable patterns. • Implement strong data quality and controls in dbt: tests (unit/relationship/assertions), freshness, anomaly checks, and automated reconciliations that support close and audit readiness. • Embed AI-assisted reconciliation capabilities into the platform (within appropriate security/controls guardrails): automate variance triage, suggest likely root causes, and generate human-reviewable reconciliation narratives and evidence artifacts. • Own end-to-end subledger data products (e.g., event/fact layers, balance rollforwards, reconciliation outputs) with traceability from source events through transformations to reporting outputs. • Partner with Accounting/Financial Reporting to translate requirements into clear model specifications (definitions, posting logic assumptions, tie-out rules) and ship them as durable dbt assets. • Drive production operational ownership: monitoring/alerting, incident response, root-cause fixes, and release hygiene for the pipelines and models you own. • Collaborate with upstream engineering teams to define inputs and improve source data quality via contracts and change management. • Coach and develop one Analytics Engineer (Poland) via code review, pairing, scoped ownership, and clear technical direction.

🎯 Requirements

• Deep, hands-on analytics engineering experience: you have built and maintained production dbt projects (models, tests, macros, documentation, CI) and can own them end-to-end. • Strong SQL and data modeling skills; experience building canonical datasets that support finance reporting, reconciliations, or other correctness-critical outcomes. • Experience operating data pipelines in a warehouse environment (Snowflake preferred): performance tuning, cost awareness, and reliability practices. • Strong programming skills (Python preferred) for building data tooling and automation (e.g., control checks, reconciliation workflows, utilities, CLIs, and integrations). • Deep Snowflake technical expertise: architecture patterns (micro-partitioning/clustering, query optimization), security/governance (RBAC, masking policies), and operational excellence (monitoring, cost management, reliability). • Strong ownership mindset and ability to lead ambiguous work through influence across Finance, Accounting, and Engineering stakeholders. • Nice to have: • Experience with accounting concepts (subledgers, journal entries/posting logic, balance rollforwards, tie-outs, close processes). • Experience designing SOX-friendly controls and producing repeatable evidence from data pipelines. • Experience applying AI/LLMs to data quality or reconciliation workflows (e.g., anomaly explanation, automated investigation summaries), with strong governance and human-in-the-loop review. • AWS experience (nice to have): S3/IAM, data platform primitives, and cloud architecture concepts that support secure, reliable data products.
