Blend is a diverse team of problem solvers who believe that the world’s financial resources should be more accessible. Our cloud banking platform is used by Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank, and over 330 other financial services firms to acquire more customers, increase productivity, and deliver end-to-end digital experiences. Our software enables our customers to process an average of more than $5 billion in loans per day, making it possible for consumers to reach their financial goals faster and lead better lives. Come do work that matters.

Position Overview

Blend is solving significant internal engineering challenges as we expand from processing thousands to millions of loans, at more and more lending organizations, and over an increasingly large part of the lifecycle of each loan. We’re looking for engineers who are passionate about automation, scale, performance, security, and clean code.

Blend’s Infrastructure team acts as a company within a company, empowering developers to ship their code faster and more securely. The work the team does is incredibly important and multiplies productivity across the entire organization. Two technologies sit at the core of everything we build: Kubernetes (EKS) , which runs hundreds of services across our platform, and Terraform , through which we provision and operate nearly all of our cloud infrastructure as code.

We’re looking for an Infrastructure Engineer with a deep focus on platform engineering to join our team. This role is ideal for someone who lives in Kubernetes and Terraform day to day and who thrives on building scalable systems and codifying infrastructure, a developer of internal tooling that enables developer velocity and operational excellence. This is not a traditional DevOps role, it’s a software engineering position that embraces DevOps principles and infrastructure best practices to create resilient systems and empower teams.

Our Core Technologies

• Kubernetes (EKS): The backbone of our compute platform.
• Terraform / Infrastructure-as-Code: Our source of truth for everything we own.
• Go: The language our internal developer tooling is built with.
• AWS: Our cloud provider and primary building platform.
• Docker: Standardized packaging for the workloads we run across the platform.

How you’ll contribute

• Operate Kubernetes infrastructure (EKS preferred) at scale, supporting dynamic provisioning, intelligent autoscaling, secure multi-tenant workloads, and performing zero-downtime upgrades.
• Design and develop Infrastructure-as-Code using industry best practices.
• Maintain and enhance our internal developer platform, tooling, and infrastructure workflows.
• Participate in a 24x7 on-call rotation and be an escalation contact for service incidents.

Who you are

• Extensive hands-on experience managing Kubernetes clusters in production
• Strong, demonstrated experience authoring and operating Terraform in production, with a solid grasp of Infrastructure-as-Code principles, module design, and state management.
• Proficient in one major programming language such as Go (preferred), TypeScript/Node.js, Python, Rust, C++, etc.
• Deep knowledge of at least one major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
• Proven track record of shipping and maintaining internal platforms, tooling, or developer infrastructure used at scale.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field with 5+ years of Platform / SRE / Infrastructure experience.
• A team focused engineer that wants to collaborate with likeminded peers.
• Able to learn and contribute to a diverse set of projects both open source and internally developed.

**Compensation:**

• Base Salary Range: $129,000 – $152,000 (This applies to full time hires. Final offer determined by multiple factors, including but not limited to function, level, geographic location, job related knowledge, skills, and experience.)
• Bonus (if applicable): Eligibility is contingent upon both company performance against established goals and achievement of individual performance objectives.
• Equity : Meaningful Restricted Stock Units in public company stock (NYSE: BLND) so you share in Blend’s long-term growth and success.

**Our Benefits At a Glance** We offer a comprehensive and competitive benefits package designed to support your health and work-life balance.
