Lithic Summer Internship Program 2026

New York, New York, United States

Lithic is the modern card issuing and processing platform empowering ambitious financial companies to build the future of payments.

Our infrastructure powers card programs for 100+ innovative clients, from fintechs reimagining credit and digital banking to platforms transforming disbursements and spend management. Companies like Mercury, Flex, and Novo rely on Lithic's developer-friendly APIs, direct network connections, and flawless reconciliation to launch and scale card programs in weeks, not years.

We're building a future where access to better financial products materially improves people's lives, free from the constraints of 30-year-old mainframes and legacy processors. We're proud to be backed by world-class investors who share that vision, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Index Ventures, Spark Capital, Stripes, and Mastercard, along with many others.

We're a team of 160+ across 26 states and 7 countries, headquartered in New York City. Our values (Customer Centricity, Deliver Excellence, Act Like an Owner, Iterate Iterate Iterate, Teach Others, and Be a Good Neighbor) shape how we work and grow as a team.

Lithic is seeking motivated, curious and adaptable students to join our inaugural Internship Program! Interns will be placed on one of several teams across the company based on business needs, interests, and team capacity. Lithic's Internship program will start on June 8th, 2026 and conclude on August 14th, 2026.

This program is designed for individuals who are excited to learn how a fast-growing fintech operates and who thrive in dynamic, cross-functional environments. Rather than specializing in a single discipline, we want interns to gain exposure to real projects, real problems, and real impact.

In keeping with Lithic’s culture and the evolving nature of our work, we’re most interested in talent, curiosity, and motivation than any one background or set of experiences. We welcome candidates from all majors and academic backgrounds. Previous experience in fintech, payments, or technology is a plus but not required. Dependent on performance, this internship may have the opportunity to convert into a full-time offer upon completion of the internship program.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
