Lead and manage a team of full-stack engineers, owning their performance, growth, and overall team health
Own the technical vision for agentic program management — defining where AI agents can take over manual workflows in disputes, fraud, compliance, and customer operations, and building the roadmap to get there
Partner closely with product, design, and Lithic's operations teams to identify automation opportunities and ship tools that meaningfully reduce manual lift for customers and internal teams
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

Requirements

Proven experience managing software engineering teams, with a track record of delivering complex products in a fast-moving environment
Genuine excitement about building agentic systems — you've thought hard about where LLMs and AI agents fit (and where they don't) in high-stakes, regulated workflows
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
