Software Engineer Intern (Summer 2027)

• Interns are responsible for developing and shipping a project and verifying that it works in production
• Because things are changing fast at Affirm, we do not specify intern projects in advance, instead you will collaborate with your mentor and manager when you start to spec a project that will best contribute to your team
• This role will ship code and monitor the deployment of your work
• Our intern projects are not isolated or intended to be thrown away: your team will depend on your contributions!
• We pair interns with a dedicated mentor who will be by your side to give advice and ensure the success of your project
• Expect to meet with them on a regular basis and receive feedback
• There are opportunities to attend events with other interns and full-time Affirmers!
• Past events have included virtual cooking classes, executive fireside chats, cable car trolley tours, and Giants games
• Interns present their work to the entire engineering organization at the end of the internship
• As an intern at Affirm, you will be a contributing member of our outstanding engineering team, and as such you will work on meaningful projects and frequently ship code
• Recent grads and past interns have built a real-time high-throughput data processing pipeline, developed an extensive automated testing framework, and built out our proprietary financial platform that is central to our long term company mission
• We are excited to meet and consider strong students for our 12-16 week internships
• We are a dynamic organization that is happy to tailor projects to your skills, and we will work with you throughout the interview process to determine which team will be best for you
