Job description

In 1945, elevator operators walked out of New York's office buildings. The city ground to a halt with millions of workers stuck on the street and a hundred million in losses. Automatic elevators had existed since the 1890s. Nobody would ride one without a person at the controls. It took the strike, and the decade after it, building trust car by car, building by building, before people would step into a box and press a button themselves.

At Mercury, we build for the building class: the people who see something that doesn't exist and decide to make it real — with their time, their money, their team. Whether that's a side project or a scaling unicorn, we build the financial stack that gets them there.

We believe the future of financial software is infrastructure that works on your behalf. We’re looking for a product leader to accelerate our AI bets – Command, CLI, MCP – and our API as we build towards a Mercury that is programmable and intelligent. This is a role for a builder who is capable across the stack with hands-on experience building with AI.

*Mercury is a fintech company, not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A., Members FDIC.

As part of the journey, we would expect you to:

Develop a deep understanding of how Mercury's most technical customers use our product today, and what they're trying to do that they can't yet
Lead the product vision for how our AI products – Command, CLI, MCP – transform the way people interact with their finance stack: from asking questions about their business to taking action on their behalf
Define Mercury's strategy for connecting to the broader ecosystem of AI tools; build and automate the workflow end to end using Command, CLI, MCP, and the rest of our AI stack
Own the roadmap for Mercury's API and drive it from niche, read-heavy usage toward a comprehensive platform that enables customers to build on top of Mercury
Partner with engineering to make hard technical tradeoffs about interfaces, API design, data access, and capabilities: you should be able to hold your own in these conversations
Work closely with Mercury's growth and partnerships teams to ensure our AI products are a competitive advantage in acquisition and retention
Navigate a high-velocity environment where leadership cares deeply about this space and expects you to move fast and think originally

Some things that might make you successful in a role like this:

You're genuinely excited about what's happening in AI right now and are actively building with these tools
Have strong opinions about AI products and the judgment to recognize fast when one of them is wrong. You're not waiting for someone to tell you what's possible
10+ years of experience building — as a founder or product manager — including meaningful time owning product decisions end-to-end
Be dangerous across the stack and able to grapple directly with complex concepts; hands on experience building AI products with AI, and knowledge about RAG, evals, agent harnesses a plus
You understand what it means to build for developers and technical users
You thrive in a culture where leadership is deeply engaged
You can take a nascent product area with real traction and turn it into a coherent strategy with a clear roadmap
