Software Engineer

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 a small, highly-owned team at the heart of how engineering scales. Our work is challenging to define, and that’s intentional.

We own the cloud infrastructure. We manage Kubernetes clusters, continuous deployment (CD) pipelines, and shared components like Kafka and Debezium. We also provide the necessary glue to ensure the organization’s production systems are reliable and self-sufficient. When tasks are manual, operational, or rely on tribal knowledge, we transform them into scalable solutions, such as services, operators, or shared libraries. Our approach is production-first. We prioritize shipping products that must survive, scale, and improve over time with minimal intervention.

You’ll transform operational tasks, currently residing in runbooks, Slack threads, and minds, into robust, observable, and maintainable systems. This involves:

Nice to have: experience building Kubernetes operators (controller-runtime), platform-adjacent work, designing internal services consumed by other engineering teams.

- This is not an SRE role focused on incident response and runbook maintenance
- This is not a DevOps role focused on CI pipelines and developer tooling
- This is not a cloud architect role that produces diagrams but doesn't ship code
