As Marqeta's Software Engineer II, you will deliver resilient and sustainable software projects from design to implementation and rollout. You will execute on defined projects to achieve team-level goals and own minor features in support of larger features. You will independently define the right solutions or use existing approaches to solve defined problems, consistently deliver high quality code, and contribute to test development.

- Card Issuing:
- This team owns everything related to the user's card lifecycle, from the moment an account holder is created through card issuance, fulfillment, updates, and expiration. They build and operate the core payments platform services that millions of cards depend on, including Account Holders, Cards, and Account Lifecycle Management (ALM). They also own the services that keep card credentials current across card networks, along with the infrastructure that gets physical cards produced and delivered.
- Tokenization:
