Sr. Software Engineer - Issuing

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 Your 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
