Program Services is one of the most operationally complex surfaces in fintech — dispute resolution, fraud monitoring, compliance oversight, cardholder support, reconciliation — and it's almost entirely unexplored territory for agentic AI. Your team will change that.What you'll doLead and manage a team of full-stack engineers, owning their performance, growth, and overall team healthOwn 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 therePartner closely with product, design,

and to help your team do the sameStrong communication skills and comfort operating across engineering, product, and business stakeholdersWhy this roleThe work of managing a financial card program is still largely manual — compliance reviews, dispute filings, fraud rules, reconciliation reports. Lithic has the platform, the data, and the customer relationships to change that. This team has a legitimate first‑mover chance to build AI-native operations tooling in a domain where the incumbents are years behind. If you want to lead a team where agentic is creating material value for customers — not demos, not experiments, but real products that run real financial programs — this is it.Compensation and locationThe annual Canadian salary range for this role is CA$232,000 – $333,000 plus equity.
