Engineering Onboarding Manager

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 role

• We are looking for a collaborative Engineering Onboarding Manager to build an AI-first onboarding experience that helps new engineers become confident, effective builders.
• You will create the technical learning, practical support, and community that enable engineers to understand Affirm's systems, ship, and grow their impact.

What you'll do

• You will own the design and delivery of Engineering onboarding, creating a welcoming, technically credible experience for new engineers across North America and EMEA.
• You will lead hands-on learning experiences at our San Francisco office, complemented by virtual and regional programming that helps engineers build relationships, context, and practical fluency.
• You will partner with Engineering leaders and subject-matter experts across Developer Productivity, SRE, Security, Architecture, and Product teams to build and maintain useful technical onboarding content.
• You will translate Affirm's AI-first engineering practices into practical learning experiences, including agent-assisted development, code review, testing, CI, deployment, observability, and production support.
• You will work with managers and buddies to create clear, role-relevant onboarding plans that help new engineers establish context, connect with their teams, and begin contributing effectively.
• You will coordinate with Recruiting, Learning, People Ops, IT, Facilities, Finance, and regional partners to ensure each cohort has the access, equipment, environment, and support needed for a strong start.
• You will gather feedback from new hires, managers, and facilitators, then use it to continuously improve the content, operations, and experience of Engineering onboarding.

What we look for

• You have 2–4 years of experience as a technical leader in a software engineering organization.
• You understand modern software development practices, including AI-assisted development, code review, testing, CI, deployment, observability, and incident response.
• You have improved engineering workflows, technical learning programs, or operating practices through thoughtful program design, feedback, and cross-functional execution.
• You can turn ambiguous problems into clear plans, playbooks, and operating rhythms.
• You have the technical judgment to earn trust with Engineering Managers and senior ICs, and to shape practical, credible onboarding experiences.
• You can influence and align partners across Engineering, Learning, Recruiting, People Ops, IT, Facilities, and other teams without direct authority.
• You communicate clearly, create inclusive learning environments, and enjoy helping engineers build confidence in their craft.
• This position requires either equivalent practical experience or a Bachelor's degree in a related field.
