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

Requirements:
Backend / Software Engineering

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

Cloud & Infrastructure

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

Operational Excellence

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)

Nice-to-Have:

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

What Makes You a Great Fit:

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

What we offer:
- 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.
