Company Description
Candidly was founded in 2016 to flip the script on what it means to plan, borrow, repay, and save for college.

We partner with hundreds of top employers, financial institutions, and retirement record keepers, positioning Candidly to serve more than 35 million Americans.

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.
