Hello [SVP Product], [SVP Engineering], [President and ex-CTO], and the team at Affirm, I'm Liam[1]. I'm a hands-on SWE with 14 YOE and a track record of exceptional impact. I'm interested in working in Engineering at Affirm. I made a project to apply to Affirm instead of sending a traditional application. I completed this project in about 7 hours by leveraging Agentic LLM development workflows. I recorded a five minute demo, linked below, but here is the quick summary: 1. I've created a Merchant Analytics Dashboard that addresses a critical challenge in the BNPL space: merchant and commercial partners' visibility into the business impact of offering Affirm. 2. Tech: Typescript, Lambda, S3, DynamoDB, CloudFront, API Gateway, Vite + Typescript + React 3. Focus on solving a real problem rapidly and not getting caught on technical perfectionism 4. I chose a project that centers key challenges to Affirm's business, demonstrating my product-oriented thinking. 5. I'm drawn to Affirm because of the overlap between our goals. Particularly, I believe that I can accomplish my major learning goal at Affirm (improving my product-oriented thinking), and I believe that I can ship real features that meaningfully impact Affirm's business outcomes and key risks at the same time. 5 Minute Merchant Analytics Dashboard Demo Video As I mention in the video, you can actually use the demo application here. Even though I don't mention it, you can find the source code here. If you're interested in hearing more, I have a lot more pieces of relevant experience to Affirm, focusing on domains such as crawl-to-run projects, teaching, empathetic communication, intentionality and accountability, etc. I can also do Leetcode, if you insist. But I'll save that for a future discussion. Thank you for your consideration, and I look forward to hearing back. Thanks, Liam Zdenek [1] [LinkedIn Link]

Very cool. [...]
