Senior Software Engineer (Backend & Infrastructure Focused)

At Lendbuzz, we believe financial opportunity should be more personalized and fair. We develop innovative technologies that provide underserved and overlooked borrowers with better access to credit. From our employees to our dealers, partners, and borrowers, we’ve built a company and a culture around a resolute belief in the promise and power of diversity. We value independent and critical thinking.

We’re looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer who combines cloud and infrastructure expertise with strong backend engineering skills. This role is ideal for someone who can design, build, and operate scalable systems end-to-end, writing production-grade code while also shaping the cloud architecture it runs on.

You’ll work across the stack: from application logic and system design to infrastructure, deployment pipelines, and observability.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect and manage cloud infrastructure (primarily AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Own systems end-to-end: design, implementation, deployment, and production operations
• Design, build and maintain Infrastructure as Code (CDK)
• Design CI/CD pipelines and improve developer productivity and release processes
• Implement monitoring, logging, and alerting (Prometheus, Grafana, Coralogix)
• Ensure high availability, performance, and security of systems in production
• Drive best practices in software engineering, system design, and code quality
• Collaborate closely with backend engineers, data teams, and product
• Troubleshoot complex production issues across application and infrastructure layers
  
  

• Strong experience building production backend systems (TypeScript, Golang, Python)
• Deep understanding of system design (scalability, concurrency, distributed systems)
• Solid coding skills and clean code practices
• Experience with APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures
• Strong understanding of testing, CI/CD, and software lifecycle
  
  

• Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud provider (AWS/GCP/Azure)
• Strong knowledge of cloud-native architecture and services (compute, storage, networking)
• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDK/Pulumi)
• Familiarity with networking concepts (VPCs, load balancers, DNS, security groups)
• Familiarity with Kubernetes and microservices architectures.
• Experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  
  

• Experience with designing and implementing complex architectures that requires coding excellence
• Experience with monitoring, logging, and observability tools
• Strong debugging and incident response skills
• Understanding of reliability engineering (SLOs, SLIs, error budgets)
  
  

• Experience designing multi-region or highly available systems
• Background in DevOps/SRE practices
• Experience with data platforms or streaming systems (Kafka, etc.)
• Security best practices and compliance experience
• Background with mesh systems like Istio
• Familiarity with Kubernetes design patterns (operators, controllers etc) or with Crossplane
  
  

• You think like a software/platform engineer
• You’re comfortable moving between code and infrastructure seamlessly
• You take ownership of systems in production
• You value clean design, automation, and reliability
• You can zoom out to architecture, and dive deep into code when needed
  
  

• A culture that values product ownership, collaborative architectural planning, and building wins for your resume/portfolio as much as for the company
• Smart, dynamic people with whom you can share the experience of building something unique
• Competitive salary with opportunities for growth and advancement
