The Treasury team builds the mission-critical backend services that orchestrate the flow of funds between Lithic and external financial institutions. This includes engineering our core ledger, ACH and wire infrastructure, and high-precision reconciliation systems. As we handle the movement of money, we build our systems to the highest standards of reliability and correctness.

Our team operates with a high degree of autonomy; we have direct control over what we build and the technical direction we take. Prior fintech experience is not required.

• [Senior] Lead the architectural direction and solve our most complex technical challenges, ensuring our systems scale gracefully as we grow.

What You Bring

• A structured approach to learning: You demonstrate a growth mindset centered on building complete mental models of complex systems.
• Autonomy and urgency: You have high agency and thrive in an environment where you are given a problem space rather than a list of tasks, moving with purpose to deliver high-quality solutions.
• [Senior] Experience building distributed systems: You have the technical judgment required to design and scale high-stakes infrastructure where reliability and correctness are foundational.
