We’re looking for a Staff Engineer Dev Ops to join our Platform Engineering & Operations team as a hands‑on individual‑contributor engineer, helping to build and maintain the infrastructure underneath Lendistry’s lending platform. You’ll work on cloud architecture, security posture, and developer experience across a regulated financial services environment — and help support fellow engineers so we can grow without compromising reliability or compliance.

We’re proud to be the nation’s largest minority‑led, tech‑savvy lender for small businesses and commercial real estate. As a certified Community Development Financial Institution (CDFI) and Community Development Entity (CDE), our mission is all about creating economic opportunities and fueling growth for small business owners and their communities.
