Job Description

Lithic creates card issuing and payment infrastructure for technology companies that just works. We help some of the world’s fastest-growing digital banks, fintech companies, and software companies process billions in transactions annually.

As a Senior Software Engineer on our Issuing team, you’ll be a vital part of bringing Lithic into its next phase of growth – you’ll be doing as much technical leadership as you will be writing code. The Card Issuing team maintains services that manage the entire lifecycle of a card, including card issuance, physical card manufacturing, digital wallet tokenization, as well as KYB/KYC. Additionally, the Issuing team designs and maintains the stability of Lithic’s API (gateway, SDK), working with other Lithic teams to maintain our developer-first brand promise. You will become an expert in the card payments space. The team uses a combination of Python, C++, and Rust.

What You’ll Do:

  • Ensure high reliability and availability for Lithic’s API
  • Drive the development of new card lifecycle features (card issuance, tokenization, and physical card manufacturing)
  • Ensure that the team is delivering reliable, secure, and scalable code with minimal tech debt
  • Own initiatives from planning to launch, keeping stakeholders informed and aligned along the way
  • Drive efforts to improve systems and processes both within the team and across engineering
  • Drive strategic planning in collaboration with the engineering manager and product manager
  • Participate in the team on-call rotation

What You Bring:

  • 6+ years experience shipping code in fast paced production environments
  • Advanced distributed system instincts and design skills
  • Experience driving large cross-functional projects across engineering, product, and operations teams
  • A proven commitment to empathy and inclusion
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Growth mindset and continuous desire to learn and improve is a must
  • An interest in fintech and the payments space is preferred

Base salary range for US candidates: $160,000 – $190,000
