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.

You will become an expert in the card payments space. The team uses a combination of Python, C++, and Rust.

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

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
