Affirm Software Engineer interview experience

The twist was that the role got filled before my onsite could happen, so the recruiter offered me other teams instead.

The structure of it—code screen followed by the hiring manager conversation before any onsite—made the early stages feel straightforward. But ultimately, scheduling and timing determined the path more than my performance.

I didn’t end up going through the onsite stage for that specific role, and the main takeaway was just how quickly things could change once a position was closed.
