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
• Excellent communication skills
• Growth mindset and continuous desire to learn and improve is a must
