We prioritize building our own technology and investing in engineering talent, as we believe these are enduring competitive advantages that are difficult to replicate. Our expertise in sourcing, aggregating, protecting, and analyzing data has been what we believe to be a core competitive advantage of our platform since our founding. We use data to inform our analysis and decision-making, including risk assessment, in a way that empowers consumers and generates value for our merchants and funding sources.

To drive innovation at our scale, we need experienced leaders to build storage, data abstraction, streaming, transformation, analytics warehouse, replication, metadata platform, data exploration, governance framework.

Our new Director of Data and Storage Services will develop our data governance and Data Lake/Lakehouse strategy/roadmap across our online and analytics data ecosystems. The Director of the Data and Storage Services will significantly impact the company by effectively establishing and maturing Affirm’s Data Governance Framework and driving its implementation.
The ideal candidate will spearhead data governance program by: 1) creating data governance policies and standards, 2) implementing risk management strategies for safeguarding Affirm’s mission critical data, 3) establishing responsibilities for data owners and data custodians for ensuring data integrity, data quality, and fitness for use, and 4) developing standardized data integration environments for enabling data-driven decision-making.
The Director is responsible for setting priorities among Affirm-wide critical data quality issues, building Affirm-wide data catalog, setting standards nomenclature and definitions for Affirm’s data assets, and crafting the guardrails for a self-serve data service. The Director also owns data governance programs outside of the Data and Storage Services team and across the rest of the organization, partnering with the Product Engineering, Product, Operations, Security and Legal/Privacy teams in the definition of how data should flow across different applications and what standards Affirm should adopt to ensure data quality, integrity and trustworthiness.
