People Tech & Analytics (PTA) builds and owns the data, AI, and technology infrastructure for Affirm's People function. The team runs like a product engineering group embedded in HR. We own the full stack: data ingestion, transformation, dashboards, AI tools, and production applications deployed on Snowflake.
About the Role:
This is a hands-on engineering role. You will build, deploy, and maintain AI-powered systems that serve the People function and the broader employee base.
