Lajud joined the youth academy of Cruz Azul in 2009, and made his way up the ranks through the academy, playing for the under-17 and under-20 squads. He was called up to the first team.[1]
Lajud joined Tijuana on loan for the 2014–15 season. On 26 July 2014, he made his professional debut against Club América. He came on as a substitute for the injured Cirilo Saucedo in the 73rd minute.
After the retirement of Federico Vilar, Lajud was named the starting goalkeeper for Tijuana.
Lajud was called up to the senior Mexico squad for a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina in January 2018.[2] He did not appear in the match. He made his debut for Mexico in a 3–2 friendly win over Costa Rica on 10 December the same year.[3]
During the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification, the Lebanese Football Association attempted to include Lajud to play for Lebanon, after Lebanon qualified for the third round; Lajud has yet to complete the FIFA one-time switch requirement in order to join the Lebanese national football team.[4]
Lajud is of Lebanese descent.[5] He received his Lebanese passport on 6 November 2021.[6]
