About the role

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 senior 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.

  • 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 team of experienced product engineers within one of our Mercury product groups such as Banking, Experiences, Expansion, or Risk. 

The ideal candidate for the role:

  • Has 3-7 years of full-stack development experience, with knowledge of or excitement to learn Haskell, React, TypeScript, and Redux.
  • 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.
