Mid-Level Software Engineer
Full Stack

About Loanbridge.ai

Loanbridge is building modern infrastructure for auto finance. Our platform gives lenders real-time visibility into their vehicle portfolios — from origination through payoff — without the IT overhead or hardware traditional solutions demand. We work with banks, credit unions, and finance companies that need sharper tools to manage risk and protect collateral.

Your Role

We’re looking for a versatile engineer who’s equally at home building a new API endpoint, tuning a Postgres query, writing a Terraform module, and wiring up a CI/CD pipeline or at least excited to learn. You won’t be siloed — you’ll work features end-to-end and have a real say in how we build things.

This isn’t a role for someone who wants a narrow lane. You’ll context-switch, make judgment calls, and ship things that matter, building for now with a weather eye on the future.

We’re building an AI-native engineering culture. That means the people who thrive here treat AI as a collaborator and a force multiplier — using it to accelerate research, design, and shipping, while staying fully accountable for the quality of what goes out.

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain full-stack features across Python/Django backends and HTML/JavaScript/CSS frontends

  • Write clean, well-tested code and contribute to code reviews that raise the bar for the whole team

  • Debug production issues end-to-end — from browser to database to cloud config

  • Drive and evolve our infrastructure using Terraform and Ansible on Digital Ocean and GCP

  • Use AI responsibly to increase your knowledge and reach, without giving up complete ownership of code.

  • Lean on AI tooling to move faster across the stack — from scaffolding code and exploring unfamiliar libraries to drafting tests, debugging, and writing infra

  • Collaborate on system design and architectural decisions — your opinion carries weight here

  • Improve developer tooling, deployment pipelines, and operational reliability

What we’re looking for

An engineer, by definition, learns what is needed to accomplish the job. We recognize that the perfect candidate doesn’t necessarily check every box on paper. We want to hear about how you grew into the solutions for the problems you have tackled.

  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience

  • Strong Python skills, preferably with Django in production environments

  • Solid understanding of relational databases — Postgres in particular

  • Comfortable with frontend work: JavaScript, CSS, HTTP fundamentals

  • Proficient with Git and GitHub-based workflows (PRs, branching, code review)

  • An AI-native way of working — you’ve built AI tools into your daily workflow and have a point of view on where they help, where they don’t, and what good output looks like

  • Hands-on experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform) and configuration management (Ansible)

  • Familiarity with cloud platforms — Digital Ocean and/or GCP

  • You communicate clearly, ask good questions, and don’t wait to be told what to do

We’d like to hear more about

  • Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes)

  • Familiarity with monitoring and observability tooling

  • Background in a startup or small-team environment where you wore multiple hats

  • Specific examples of how you’ve used AI tools to ship faster or better — including times you decided not to use them

  • Contributions to open source projects (if any)

  • Public writings on relevant subjects (if any)

We’d like to hear more about

Python · Django · PostgreSQL · JavaScript · CSS · HTTP/REST · Terraform · Ansible · Digital Ocean · GCP · Git / GitHub

What we offer

  • $115,000 base compensation plus equity award

  • Fully Remote job with quarterly team get-togethers

  • Health benefits (vision & dental included)

  • Generous PTO policy

How to Apply

Submit your resume and a short cover letter to pierce@loanbridge.ai telling us how AI has changed the way you ship code — including where it doesn't help — and why you want to work on infrastructure for auto finance. GitHub, code samples, or public writing welcome. We'll follow up promptly with next steps.
