Senior Software Engineer - Authorization
Privacy.com, Little Ferry, New Jersey, us, 07643
Our mission is to make payments safer and easier for everyone. We started with a consumer product (privacy.com) that helps people spend more safely using virtual payment cards. Then we launched a simple, modern API to make our payment and card issuing infrastructure available to other startups, fintechs, and brands. Today, that infrastructure is known as Lithic, and it powers billions of dollars in payments for some of the most innovative companies in the world.
Lithic is a remote-first company and has a distributed team with an office in New York. That means that if you want to work remotely, you can! If you want to drop by the office or work fully in-person, you can do that, too! We’ve raised $100M+ from top-tier investors including Index, Bessemer, Stripes, and Tusk Venture Partners, with a recent Series C that will help us scale.
We are hiring a Senior Software Engineer for our Authorization team to lead Lithic’s next phase of growth - you’ll be doing as much technical leadership as you will be writing code. The Authorization team maintains and builds the backend services that manage the flow of transactions between Lithic and external networks. The distributed systems we maintain have high standards of reliability and correctness. You will become an expert in the card payments space. The team uses a combination of Rust, C++, and Python.
