AffirmRemote Canada$125k – $175kPosted 10 April 2026
Job Description
Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We are building the next generation of Identity and Access Management at Affirm. This role is ideal for someone who wants to break into IAM and blend software engineering skills with process-driven operations.
You will support the day-to-day operations of our enterprise IAM program while also contributing to scripting, bug fixes, and backend coding. This is intentionally a 50/50 role: half focused on operational process and execution, and half focused on technical delivery.
SailPoint is the core systems in our environment. You will work directly within SailPoint and the surrounding automation and integration code.
What You’ll Do
Support the daily operations of our enterprise IAM program, including intake, triage, and execution of access lifecycle work
Run and improve core IAM processes (joiner/mover/leaver, access requests, certifications, and break-glass patterns)
Partner with Security, IT, and Engineering stakeholders to coordinate changes with clear ownership, approvals, and auditability
Troubleshoot and resolve IAM-related issues, including access failures, provisioning bugs, and workflow errors
Write and maintain scripts and small services that automate repetitive IAM tasks and reduce manual effort
Contribute backend code and bug fixes in our IAM automation codebase (including tests and safe rollout practices)
Help document runbooks, standard operating procedures, and operational metrics for the program
Participate in on-call or escalation rotations as needed for IAM-owned systems
Example problems you may work on:
Debugging a provisioning workflow that intermittently fails and adding monitoring + automated retries
Writing a script to reconcile access between source systems and SailPoint
Improving a Jira intake workflow so requests are validated and routed correctly before execution
Building a small API integration to connect an internal system to identity lifecycle events
What We’re Looking For
2+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent internship/co-op experience with strong projects)
Ability to write production-quality code in Python or a similar backend language
Comfort working with operational processes, tickets/requests, and cross-functional stakeholders
Experience with APIs, scripting, and debugging distributed systems issues
Familiarity with CI/CD and GitHub-based workflows
Familiarity with cloud environments (AWS preferred)
Strong written communication and documentation habits
Nice to Have
Any exposure to IAM/IGA/SSO concepts (e.g., SAML/OIDC, SCIM, RBAC)
Experience with SailPoint, Auth0, Okta, OneLogin, or similar identity platforms
Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform or similar)
Familiarity with compliance/audit-driven environments (SOC 2, SOX, ISO, PCI)
