We're looking for an engineering leader who is excited to lead their team to execute on our vision for real-time accounting and own a critical part of Mercury's product growth.

As part of this role, you will:

Lead a team of 6+ exceptional software engineers, growing the team through performance management, mentorship, and hiring.

Contribute to a team culture that aligns to Mercury's values.

Help define technical architecture for ingesting financial data from hundreds of sources and streaming them to Mercury's accounting service.

Work closely with designers, product leaders, and other cross-functional stakeholders to shape product strategy and execute on the Accounting team roadmap.

Collaborate with other engineering teams on overlapping work, optimizing for product cohesion and simplicity over strict division of responsibility.

The ideal candidate for the role:

Has 3+ years of engineering management leading full-stack product engineering teams, especially teams that have leveraged AI to build software.

Has made architectural decisions in the past and measured the impact of those decisions over time. You should be able to clearly articulate your technical opinions and lay out tradeoffs.

Has a strong sense of technical and product ownership and actively seeks responsibility – our engineers often act as product owners on small/medium projects, and we want someone who’s excited to help shape the future of our accounting products; previous experience in fintech/accounting or building consumer-facing AI products is a nice-to-have.

Is comfortable driving discussions in areas with ambiguous ownership, approaches them with empathy, and prioritizes reaching outcomes.

Our work overlaps with many other teams – you’ll have a lot of autonomy in this role and are expected to use it to seek out ways to have an impact.
