Product Security Engineer II - IAM

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.

• About the InfoSec team
• The InfoSec team protects Affirm’s systems and data from evolving threats. We manage security risk, monitor vulnerabilities, and enforce protective controls across the company. The team leads incident response, compliance, identity and access management, and employee training. Our goal is to ensure that security is built into every system and decision at Affirm. We maintain a secure, trustworthy environment so the business can operate and grow with confidence.

• About the role
• We are building the next generation of enterprise Identity and Access Management at Affirm. This role combines hands-on IAM operations, automation, and production software engineering to make identity services more reliable, scalable, and easier to operate.

You will help run core access lifecycle processes, troubleshoot production issues, and automate repetitive work. You will also build and maintain backend services, APIs, and integrations that connect identity platforms with internal systems.

Software engineering is a must-have. You will work primarily with SailPoint and enterprise identity integrations, with CIAM-adjacent Auth0 work where enterprise systems intersect with customer identity. This is a strong opportunity for an engineer who wants to develop deep IAM expertise without stepping away from hands-on coding.

What you’ll do

Run and improve IAM operations, including access lifecycle work, requests, certifications, and issue resolution

Automate repetitive processes with scripts, services, and workflow improvements

Build and maintain production backend software, APIs, tests, and integrations

Connect SailPoint and workforce identity events with internal systems

Build a paved path that enables Affirm employees to create modern internal tools with Auth0

Partner with Security, IT, and Engineering on secure, auditable changes

Maintain runbooks, operational metrics, and escalation support

Example problems you may work on:

Fixing a provisioning workflow and adding monitoring or retries

Reconciling access between source systems and SailPoint

Building an API integration for identity lifecycle events

Creating reusable Auth0 patterns, tooling, and documentation for internal applications

What we look for

2+ years of software engineering experience or equivalent internship/co-op experience with strong projects

Ability to write, test, and operate production-quality backend code in Python or a similar language

Strong foundations in APIs, debugging, logging, error handling, and distributed systems

Experience with GitHub, CI/CD, testing, and code review

Comfort owning operational work and troubleshooting production issues

Familiarity with cloud environments; AWS preferred

Strong written communication and documentation skills

Nice to Have

Exposure to IAM, IGA, SSO, SAML, OIDC, SCIM, RBAC, or identity governance

Experience with SailPoint, Auth0, Okta, OneLogin, or similar platforms

Experience with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools

Familiarity with audit or compliance environments
