Job description

In 1933, Harry Beck redesigned the London Underground map. Instead of preserving geography, he redesigned it around how people actually navigated the system. The result became one of the most influential examples of information design ever created.

Beck understood that people don't need a perfect representation of complexity. They just need a system that helps them accomplish what they came to do. We think accounting deserves the same kind of clarity and simplification.

Today, people bounce between their bank*, accounting software, spreadsheets, receipts, and disconnected workflows just to prepare transactions for their books. We think that’s backwards.

At Mercury, we're building toward a future where accounting becomes increasingly automatic, intelligent, and deeply integrated into how businesses operate. Instead of asking customers to adapt to accounting software, we want software that adapts to the way customers already work.

We're looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Accounting Integrations team and help imagine what that future looks like. This is an opportunity to redefine how businesses experience accounting.

*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.
