The Portfolio ML team manages and optimizes the flow of loan opportunities across Affirm-owned and operated properties. We build models, tools, and libraries to support portfolio management actions that balance unit economics, product growth, and user experience. We power ROA-based decisioning; real-time and offline conversion rate prediction; counterfactual portfolio simulation; and the valuation of loans. We sit within the Decisions Foundations org.

• You will act as a force-multiplier for your team through your definition and advocacy of technical solutions and operational processes.
• You take ownership of your team’s operations and availability by ensuring you have the right monitoring, triage rotations, playbooks, polcities, testing and alerting in place to support “keep the lights on” & on-call efforts.
• You will foster a culture of quality and ownership on your team by setting code review and design standards for your team, and advocating for them beyond your team through your writing and tech talks.
