I applied online. I interviewed at Affirm (San Diego, CA) in May 2026
Interview
Online Assessment -> Recruiter Screen -> Technical Interview 1 -> Technical Interview 2 + Hiring Manager Screen. Good interviewers, practical coding interviews (debug, build a function, system design) and regular behavioral. It's best to just be personable and open, ask involved questions (what do you look for in an engineer, what's exceeding that).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Recruiter screen was straightforward, questions about background & projects. First technical was a practical-coding interview in HackerRank with a proctor. Pretty complicated if you've only ever done leetcodes.
I interviewed at Affirm (Valencia, Valencian Community)
Interview
first screen call with hr, discussed previos experience including specific questions about project technicalities, and how did I manage a situation where I was responsible of an issue. basically everything mandatory covered from a custom angle, but you end up mentioning everything you've thought about.

Took roughly 2 months total. Recruiter was very fast to respond and the interviewers were all very nice and collaborative during the interview. Typical HR call, two technical rounds, and behavorial round.
