2500 years ago, the Cyclopean walls of Rajgir encircled the first capital of the Magadha kingdom in India, protecting it from invasions while preserving vital trade routes and cultural hubs. Their strategic gates and pathways enabled commerce and daily life to thrive even during conflict. These walls supported Magadha’s rise, facilitating trade, governance, and cultural exchange while safeguarding its people—a foundation for the kingdom’s prosperity and resilience.
“The intense intellectual and emotional life, and the heightening of sensations which came with the advance of civilization, made it clear…that only a part of the pain, pleasure, and profit of life lay in physical things. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations demanded legal recognition….” Brandeis & Warren, The Right to Privacy
In the 1950s, Norman Borlaug embarked on an effort to breed a new type of wheat that was disease resistant and had higher yields. In the outskirts of Mexico City, he combined his background of agricultural research and theoretical knowledge with careful experimentation and diligent data collection to run over 6,000 experiments - and he was ultimately successful, kicking off the “Green Revolution” that increased global crop yields by an estimated 44% and earned him a Nobel Prize.

Holds. Limits. Locks. Closures. The judicious use of these tools are designed to protect good customers. But if wielded maladroitly, good customers get entangled in unnecessary friction, burden our operations teams, and may become detractors and churn. At Mercury, we believe banking* should be empowering and seamless, not difficult, confusing, or stressful.

Risk is the nervous system behind every magical banking* experience. It senses, responds, protects, without fanfare. It doesn’t power motion, but without it, motion goes awry.

In the 1950s, breaking away from his day-to-day job designing furniture and accessories, George Nelson designed the Kirkpatrick House. With a wood and steel-frame structure, freestanding fireplace, brick walls, and large windows, it's as usable and beautiful today, as it was when it was first built. An early letter shared between Nelson and his client reveals the principle at the heart of this long-lasting piece: “We are not so much concerned about the appearance of the outside,” he writes, “as we are about the livability of the inside.” Half a century later, we at Mercury are on a mission to build a product that people love on the inside, as much as on the outside. We’re a financial technology company that helps startups spend less time banking* and more time building. We believe that the key to our success revolves around thoughtful design and we’re looking to hire the first staff product designer for our Banking Experience product. As a staff designer, you’ll play a critical role in defining & designing best-in-class banking foundation products. Our design team consists of 40+ people who love to solve complex problems through design, but are equally passionate about cultivating, guiding, and inspiring each other. *Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank.

In 1999, NASA lost contact with its Mars Climate Orbiter after its 9-month journey from Earth. It began its planned orbital insertion maneuver but went out of radio contact after passing behind Mars and was either destroyed in the atmosphere or re-entered heliocentric space after leaving Mars's atmosphere. Either way, a discrepancy between two pieces of software in which units were used resulted in a very expensive mistake.
In the late 19th century, during the height of the Industrial Revolution, the world witnessed a profound transformation in both technology and society. Engineers like Isambard Kingdom Brunel and George Stephenson were at the forefront of this change. They were not merely builders but visionaries who sculpted the very arteries of modern commerce. Their work reshaped landscapes and redefined the possibilities of industrial design. These engineers contributed to a world where infrastructure became a canvas for creativity and a catalyst for expansion. Their ability to merge innovative engineering with aesthetic appeal transformed mundane bridges and railways into iconic landmarks.
In Renaissance Florence, wealthy merchants faced a dilemma: where could they safely store their gold without it sitting idle. The Medici family offered a radical alternative. Deposit your assets with them and your assets would be secure, earn consistent returns, and, crucially, be accessible when needed. It was one of the first smart options for wealth:safe, productive, and liquid. The spirit of innovation and financial ingenuity that defined Renaissance Florence finds a powerful echo in the modern startup world. Mercury brings that same spirit to building an exceptional banking* experience for all. Our Treasury team builds the answer founders are looking for what to do with their idle cash. We’ve created a financial platform that helps startups put their idle cash to work. It helps startups manage their cash with confidence, combining safety and yield in one elegant package. Think of it as institutional-grade cash management, reimagined for ambitious startups. The Treasury team is a team of full-stack engineers that are building thoughtful products that manage billions in customer funds, all while helping Mercury scale. We operate with a high degree of quality and care because we understand today's startups, like their historical counterparts, require solutions that go beyond.
In 2001, a prominent corporate fraud scandal led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002, which introduced strict regulations on financial reporting and internal controls. While SOX was primarily focused on corporate governance, it became a foundational moment for IT controls and compliance—forcing companies to establish stronger audit trails, risk management processes, and accountability in IT systems.
In the 1840s, Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace worked on an early version of the computer known as the “Analytics Engine”. In the words of computing historian Doron Swade, “What Lovelace saw...was that numbers could represent entities other than quantity” and together they laid the foundation for general-purpose computing.

In 1978, Gary Thuerk sent the world’s first email marketing campaign to about 400 recipients, kicking off an entire industry and earning himself the title 'Father of Spam'—though he himself preferred to be known as the 'Father of Email Marketing.'

The most powerful stories aren’t broadcast—they're passed hand to hand, voice to voice, founder to founder. Community is where these stories catch fire. It's where someone mentions Mercury in a late-night Slack thread, a tweet sparks curiosity, or a coffee chat turns into a sign-up. We believe the best growth doesn’t always start with a campaign—it starts with a conversation. That’s why we’re looking for a strategic leader to guide our community efforts: someone who can turn shared belief into shared momentum, and build the systems, relationships, and rituals that get more people talking about Mercury in the moments that matter most. We’re seeking a Senior Manager of Community to lead Mercury’s community function—owning the strategy, building the roadmap, and guiding a growing team of community professionals to scale our impact. This role is pivotal in shaping how Mercury shows up in the founder ecosystem and how we build meaningful, long-term relationships with entrepreneurs. You will be responsible for driving vision and alignment across brand, events, and content and ensuring that community is not just a channel, but a feedback loop that informs marketing and product. *Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank.

When Figma entered the design tools market in 2016, Sketch had already disrupted Adobe's decades-long dominance, and most thought the battle was over. But Figma's founders saw an opportunity others missed: design wasn't just about powerful tools:it was about collaboration, accessibility, and removing friction from creative workflows. By reimagining design as a multiplayer experience that lived in the browser, Figma didn't just create a better tool; they transformed how entire organizations approach design. Today, small businesses face a similar moment with their accounting workflows. Their legacy accounting tools have remained largely unchanged over the past decade; leaving customers feeling frustrated, overwhelmed, and confused due to cumbersome experiences.
