About Mercury

Mercury empowers over 200,000 startups and online businesses by reinventing banking services. You gain access to FDIC-insured accounts, virtual cards, currency exchange, and robust API access. We also connect founders with investors and mentors through our Raise program. In 2024, Mercury expanded into personal banking and launched financial software for invoicing and payments. We operate as a fintech company, not a bank, partnering with FDIC-insured institutions. From our 2017 founding, we have raised $452 million over 7 rounds, demonstrating significant investor confidence.

How We Work

Mercury embraces a remote-first culture, allowing you flexibility with optional offices in San Francisco, New York, and Portland. We prioritize giving employees significant responsibility from day one. You can expect periodic in-person gatherings and team trips to foster connection. Even if you choose to work onsite, returning to remote work is an option if your personal circumstances change. We actively foster a culture of accountability, transparency, and trust across all teams.

Engineering at Mercury

You will work in a cloud-native, remote-first environment. Our backend is crafted using Haskell on the Yesod and Persistent frameworks, emphasizing robust and scalable solutions. We seek technical fluency from our teams. You should be comfortable discussing API integrity, automated controls, and cloud infrastructure.
