Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. Since we launched Mercury in 2019, our customer base has grown to over 200,000 startups and small businesses from all around the world. With growth comes the need to ensure our customer experience is top of mind even in the most challenging scenarios.
As an Incident Responder at Mercury, you’ll sit at the center of our most critical moments, leading with calm, clarity, and care when things break. This role is not only about being able to go deep with technical rigor, but also about being a facilitator and translator who works together with teams like engineering, legal, and marketing to ensure our customers are covered during incidents. Customer-facing experience is required, as you’ll also communicate directly with customers during many incidents. You’ll be a trusted voice advocating for both customers and internal teams, ensuring clear communication, thoughtful solutions, and swift action. 
You’ll need to understand how our products and internal teams work in detail. Banking* has a lot of moving pieces, so this is harder than it might seem. Finding efficient, elegant solutions for problems stemming from the oft-convoluted U.S. financial system isn’t always easy, but if you’re good at your job, our users will never know it.
*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

Customer Support Incident Responder

Soaring high above the Gardon River, the Pont du Gard is a masterpiece of ancient Roman engineering, blending monumental scale with remarkable precision. Constructed in the 1st century CE, this aqueduct carried water over 30 miles to the Roman colony of Nemausus (modern-day Nîmes, France).
Built almost entirely without mortar, the Pont du Gard relied on meticulously cut limestone blocks, some weighing up to six tons, fitted so precisely that the structure has endured for nearly two thousand years. Its average gradient of 1 in 3,000 (about 0.03%) allowed water to flow steadily and efficiently across the vast distance, a testament to the Romans’ deep understanding of water management and infrastructure design.
Just as the Pont du Gard exemplifies ingenuity and precision, at Mercury, we draw inspiration from such timeless innovations. Our Risk engineers create systems that are not only seamless and reliable but also built to last.
As a Software Engineer (IC2) in Risk Engineering, you’ll contribute features across the stack that make our investigators’ execution faster, decisions clearer, and operations smoother.

<ul>
<li>
Ownership and follow‑through: Pick up well‑scoped tasks, ask good questions, and land changes that stick. Take pride in tidy PRs and incremental delivery.</li>
<li>
Full‑stack development: Implement UI components and flows, build or refine backend APIs and data models, and keep a close eye on reliability and performance.</li>
<li>
Technical design and documentation: Contribute to design docs, write clear RFCs when needed, and add the right tests and metrics to make changes safe.</li>
<li>
Cross‑team collaboration: Partner with other engineers, product, design, and risk operations to deliver thoughtful and impactful solutions.</li>
</ul>
The ideal candidate for this role:
<ul>
<li>Has 2–5 years of practical experience building product features across backend and frontend.</li>
<li>Is experienced with, or excited to learn, our frontend stack: React, TypeScript, Redux.</li>
<li>Is experienced with, or excited to learn, our backend stack: Haskell, Yesod, Persistent, Postgres. Prior Haskell is not required—curiosity and sound engineering are.</li>
<li>Communicates clearly, balances tradeoffs thoughtfully, and cares about tests, observability, and readable code.</li>
