We are hiring an Engineering Manager for our Processing team to lead Lithic's next phase of growth.

The Processing team builds and maintains the real-time interfaces between Lithic and external payment networks. Every card authorization, clearing message, and settlement file flows through systems this team owns. The team manages both online and batch transaction flows across Mastercard, Visa, and Amex, along with transaction enrichment, disputes processing, and network compliance. The systems we maintain have strict latency and uptime requirements, because they sit on the critical path for every card transaction. The team also manages the physical network peering with card network partners, so infrastructure and networking expertise are important. The team primarily uses Java, Python, and Kotlin on AWS.

What You'll Do:

• 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
• Participate in and help evolve the team's on-call rotation

What You Bring

• Experience managing and growing engineers, including coaching, feedback, and hiring
• Strong technical judgment and system design skills, especially for low-latency, high-availability systems, with solid networking and infrastructure knowledge
• Comfort staying close to the work — this is a player-coach role where the manager can unblock, review designs, and occasionally contribute hands-on when needed
• 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

The annual Canadian salary range for this role is CA$232,000 - $333,000 plus equity. This salary range is inclusive of several career levels at Lithic and will be narrowed during the interview process based on the candidate's experience and qualifications. This is a remote position. We do not offer visa sponsorship or assistance.

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our Infrastructure team and build the backend services and APIs that make Lithic's data accessible across the organization. You'll spend roughly 80% of your time designing and building production backend services — REST APIs that serve data from Snowflake and other sources to internal teams and systems — and 20% supporting our data platform (pipelines, dbt, Airflow). You'll partner closely with the Analytics Engineering team to expose well-modeled data through clean, reliable APIs.

Job responsibilities:

Software Engineering (~80%)

• Design, build, and maintain backend services and REST APIs that serve data from various SQL subsystems and other data sources

• Work closely with the Analytics Engineering team to expose modeled data (billing, settlement, finance) through APIs that downstream consumers can rely on
• Build internal tooling and services that enable the broader organization to self-serve their data needs without writing SQL
• Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and engineering best practices across the Infrastructure org
• Contribute to service observability: logging, metrics, alerting, and on-call practices for the services you own

Data Engineering (~20%)

• Maintain and improve existing data pipelines that move data from source systems into Snowflake (Airflow, Airbyte)
• Contribute to the dbt project alongside the Analytics Engineering team — model improvements, test coverage, and data quality
• Support data governance practices including access controls, lineage documentation, and data quality standards

Qualifications:

Required:

• Strong Python proficiency with experience building backend services and REST APIs
• Experience with web frameworks such as FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar
• Solid SQL skills and hands-on experience with modern cloud data warehouses (Snowflake strongly preferred)
• Experience designing and building production APIs with proper authentication, versioning, and error handling
• Familiarity with CI/CD, automated testing, and operational reliability practices
• A track record of shipping reliable, well-tested services in production environments
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and driving projects forward with minimal oversight

Preferred:

• Experience with data pipeline development using tools like Airflow, Airbyte, Dagster, or similar
• Familiarity with dbt or similar transformation frameworks
• Experience in fintech, payments, or other financial services environments
• Familiarity with AWS services (Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate)
• Kafka or event streaming experience
• Infrastructure-as-code experience (Terraform, Pulumi)
• Experience at a company processing high transaction volumes where correctness and reliability are non-negotiable
