Job description

San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States.

Since the dawn of aviation, pilots have faced the constant challenge of air resistance, much like sailors navigating the friction of water. Amidst this relentless struggle, the trim tab emerges as an ingenious yet understated marvel. Just as the wheel revolutionized transportation by easing movement over land, the trim tab simplifies flight, allowing for smoother navigation through the skies. It embodies the elegance of simplicity in engineering, transforming the demanding task of controlling an aircraft into a more graceful and manageable endeavor.

At Mercury, we are committed to crafting an exceptional banking experience for startups. Our team is passionately focused on ensuring our product not only meets but anticipates the needs of our customers.

Our product engineering group is growing and we’re looking to hire backend and full‑stack engineers. We’re a team of pragmatic, product‑minded engineers motivated by the desire to create lovable products that rescue our customers from frustrating, expensive legacy industry tools.

As part of this role, you will:

• Feel a strong sense of product ownership and actively seek responsibility – we often self‑organize on small/medium projects, and we want someone excited to help shape and build Mercury’s future.
• Work in an autonomous environment on a close‑knit team, with a “startup within a startup” feel.
• Partner closely with designers and product leaders to ship lovable experiences. We want to transcend the status quo for banking and fintech software, and many of our customers are startups and appreciate our slick, magical designs.
• Join a small but mighty team of experienced product engineers within one of our Mercury product groups (Banking, Everyday Experiences, Expansion, Risk).

The ideal candidate for the role:

• Has 1‑4 years of backend or full‑stack development experience, with knowledge of or excitement to learn Haskell, React, TypeScript, and Redux.
• Is passionately product‑minded and has experience building and shipping new products.
• Empathizes with users and can channel their perspective to build lovable products.
• Can balance tradeoffs and find creative solutions to accomplish goals.
• Actively incorporates AI tools into their workflow and is excited about leveraging them to amplify their impact — whether that’s accelerating development, improving code quality, or finding creative solutions to hard problems.
• Communicates and collaborates effectively with peers and cross‑functional counterparts.
