  • Ensure high reliability, low latency, and correctness for Lithic's transaction processing interfaces and related services
  • Lead delivery of new capabilities across authorization, clearing/settlement, disputes, and network integration surfaces
  • Own and evolve the infrastructure supporting physical network peering with card network partners, ensuring connectivity, failover, and capacity meet reliability requirements
  • Raise the bar on operational excellence: observability, incident response, on-call readiness, and pragmatic reliability improvements
  • Own initiatives from planning to launch, keeping stakeholders informed and aligned along the way
  • Partner closely with Product and cross-functional stakeholders to clarify requirements early and keep engineering time focused on the highest-impact work
  • Lead efforts to improve systems, processes, and documentation so new team members can ramp quickly

Requirements

  • Strong technical judgment and system design skills, especially for low-latency, high-availability systems, with solid networking and infrastructure knowledge

  • Experience shipping and operating production services with strict uptime and latency requirements
  • Experience with or interest in network infrastructure — peering, connectivity, failover, and capacity planning for external partner integrations
  • Experience with or interest in learning payment processing — card network protocols, authorization flows, clearing/settlement, or similar domains
  • Experience with Java, Python, or Kotlin and AWS (or closely related stacks), and an ability to ramp quickly where the stack is unfamiliar
  • Strong cross-functional communication skills and an ability to keep teams aligned under time pressure
  • Growth mindset and continuous desire to learn and improve
  • An interest in fintech and payments is preferred
