Senior Software Engineer, Data Platform

Lithic is a modern card issuing and processing platform powering card programs for fintechs and other financial companies.

Skills

  • Strong Python proficiency for backend services
  • Experience building REST APIs with proper authentication and versioning
  • Familiarity with web frameworks (FastAPI, Flask, Django, or similar)
  • Solid SQL skills and hands-on experience with cloud data warehouses (Snowflake preferred)
  • Experience with CI/CD, automated testing, and operational reliability

  • Familiarity with AWS services (Lambda, S3, RDS, API Gateway, ECS/Fargate)
  • Experience designing for high-reliability, high-volume production systems
  • Familiarity with event streaming (Kafka) and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform/Pulumi) is a plus

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain backend services and REST APIs that serve data from Snowflake and other SQL subsystems
  • Develop well-tested, production-grade Python services with solid API contracts, authentication, versioning, and error handling
  • Partner with Analytics Engineering to expose modeled data (billing, settlement, finance) via reliable APIs
  • Build internal tooling and services to enable self-serve access to data without writing SQL
  • Participate in code reviews, system design discussions, and promote engineering best practices
  • Contribute to service observability: logging, metrics, alerting, and on-call practices
  • Maintain and improve data pipelines (Airflow, Airbyte) that move data into Snowflake
  • Contribute to dbt models, tests, and data quality improvements alongside Analytics Engineering
  • Support data governance: access controls, lineage documentation, and data quality standards

Education

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • Formal education optional if equivalent production experience is demonstrated

Benefits

  • Unlimited PTO
  • 12 weeks fully paid parental leave
  • 4-week fully paid sabbatical (after 5 years)
  • Work From Anywhere: 4 weeks per year
  • Health, vision, and dental insurance with HSA match
  • 401(k) match
  • Equity compensation
  • 3% cashback on card purchases with company Privacy.com account
