Role Description

Lithic is hiring an Engineering Manager to lead a team of full-stack engineers building the customer and bank portals that make the complicated world of payments safe, easy, and even enjoyable. This is a role for an experienced manager who is ready to lead from day one — not a stepping stone into management.

• Lead and manage a team of full-stack engineers, owning their performance, growth, and overall team health
• Partner closely with product and design to set technical direction and deliver high-quality experiences across Lithic's customer and bank dashboards
• Drive engineering execution — maintaining velocity, managing scope, and holding a high bar for code quality and operational excellence
• Build and reinforce engineering best practices, leveling up the team's tools, processes, and collective craft
• Recruit, hire, and retain strong engineering talent
• Serve as a technical thought partner to cross-functional stakeholders across product, design, and the broader engineering org

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing software engineering teams, with a track record of delivering complex products in a fast-moving environment
• Strong technical foundation — you've shipped full-stack products and can credibly engage on architecture, code quality, and technical tradeoffs
• Experience with modern web stacks; familiarity with TypeScript, Node/Express, and frontend frameworks (e.g., Vue or React) is a plus
• A clear point of view on what great engineering management looks like — hiring well, developing people, and building team culture
• The ability to balance speed and quality, and to help your team do the same
• Strong communication skills and comfort operating across engineering, product, and business stakeholders

Requirements

• The annual US salary range for this role is $169,000 - $265,000 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.

• 3% cashback on card purchases with your complimentary Privacy.com employee account
• Health, vision, and dental insurance; HSA Contribution Match
• 401(k) match
• Voluntary Life Insurance and STD/LTD
• NYC-based employees work from our SoHo office three days a week. Tuesdays and Thursdays are our core days, and you'll choose a third day that works for your schedule and team needs.
