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.

Key Responsibilities

  • 1
    Lead security incidents end-to-end, from detection and triage through containment, remediation, and post-incident review.
  • 2
    Act as incident commander, driving clear decisions and alignment across teams during high-pressure situations.
  • 3
    Conduct hands-on investigations across cloud and endpoint environments to determine root cause and impact.
  • 4
    Partner with Observability & Automation to improve detections, reduce noise, and build automated response playbooks.
  • 5
    Contribute to and refine incident response playbooks, runbooks, and documentation to improve readiness and consistency.
  • 6
    Collaborate with Security, Infrastructure, and Product teams to identify gaps and strengthen the incident response lifecycle.
  • 7
    Communicate effectively during incidents, providing clear updates to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience in Security Operations or Detection & Response, with strong hands-on incident response in cloud environments (AWS and EKS experience strongly preferred).
  • Proven ability to lead security incidents, including containment and remediation, in fast-moving environments.
  • Strong investigative and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize signals from multiple data sources.
  • Experience with security tooling such as SIEM and EDR platforms (e.g., Splunk, Elastic, SentinelOne, CrowdStrike, or similar).
  • Solid understanding of cloud security concepts and their application in real-world scenarios.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to clearly convey information across technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Experience building or improving automation for incident response workflows (e.g., scripting in Python; infrastructure-as-code is a plus).
