I joined Affirm because of the mission, the product, the people and the opportunity for growth. I wanted to work for a company that was making a tangible impact in people’s lives. The company is constantly evolving and growing. There are an unlimited number of challenges to work on and problems to solve. My coworkers are incredible. They are smart and passionate. They care a lot about each other and they like to have fun. I have grown really close to my coworkers, and they are some of my closest friends.
