Lithic operates a card issuing processor API that abstracts away legacy infrastructure complexity for fintech companies. The stack—Java, Python, Node.js, PostgreSQL, AWS—is standard backend fintech, but the hiring mix reveals the real work: 10 of 17 active roles are engineering, with senior engineers dominating. The project list (card and account lifecycle features, developer tooling, Rust platform work) and pain points (ledger reliability, reconciliation, resilience, scaling production) show a company building infrastructure reliability and operational tooling in parallel to product velocity.
Lithic provides APIs and operational services that enable fintech companies to issue debit, credit, and prepaid cards without building payment rail infrastructure from scratch. The platform sits between card programs and legacy processors, handling card lifecycle management, account opening, and the compliance and reconciliation overhead that slows traditional fintechs. Based in New York with 51–200 employees, Lithic serves high-growth technology companies seeking global card issuance at scale. The company is hiring primarily engineering talent across both the United States and Canada, with active work on customer and bank portals, design systems, and go-to-market strategy for specific verticals.
Java, Python, Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS, Snowflake for analytics, and infrastructure tools including Pulumi, Terraform, and dbt. Rust is in active adoption.
