Senior Infrastructure Engineer
Candidly
B2B financial wellness benefits platform
Company Description
Candidly was founded in 2016 to flip the script on what it means to plan, borrow, repay, and save for college. Today, we’re the category leader with the market’s most comprehensive AI-driven student debt and savings optimization platform. We partner with hundreds of top employers, financial institutions, and retirement record keepers, positioning Candidly to serve more than 35 million Americans.
We’re already achieving incredible results — to date, we’ve helped our users get on track to eliminate more than $1.8B in student debt and pay off their loans 175,000 years quicker — and we’re seeking movers, shakers, innovators, and problem solvers to help take our mission even further.
Candidly is a high-growth, Series B startup, funded by leading investors including Altos Ventures, Aflac, Salesforce Ventures, UBS, Equal Opportunity Ventures, Impact Engine, Rethink Impact, Unum, and Cercano Management. Our fully remote, international team of 70 (and counting) includes alumni from Google, UBS, Twitter, Plaid, Prudential, LendingTree, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and more.
Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Infrastructure Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and ongoing evolution of our cloud infrastructure. This is a role for someone who brings both technical depth and genuine curiosity — someone who sees an opportunity to improve something and goes after it, who takes problems end-to-end, and who makes the engineers around them better just by being present.
You'll partner closely with engineering leadership and cross-functional teams to ensure our infrastructure strategy stays ahead of our product ambitions. You'll also be a key voice in shaping how we build — our standards, our reliability posture, and our operational culture.

Candidly provides a B2B financial wellness platform that employers offer as an employee benefit. Its main services include student debt repayment programs, tools for saving for college, and resources for building personal wealth, all designed to be part of a comprehensive benefits package. The platform works by integrating with an employer’s HR and benefits setup to deliver these financial wellness tools to employees, support program enrollment, and provide usage analytics for employers. Unlike simpler benefits add-ons, Candidly combines debt repayment, college savings, and wealth-building resources in a single platform, with a focus on serving a diverse workforce and helping employers attract and retain talent. The company’s goal is to improve employees’ financial health while giving employers a practical, measurable way to support their workforce through benefits and engagement tools.
