Senior Backend Engineer - Personal Banking

In April, Mercury announced our public beta forMercury Personal– a premium consumer banking service offering high-yield savings, free wires, ATM fee reimbursements, and favored Mercury features like User Permissions and Auto-Transfer Rules. We built the product for investors and founders. Individuals who were likely to have heard about Mercury or used it already, who were likely to have strong opinions about UX and get value out of the free wires, who appreciated a technology-first banking experience that didn’t require a phone call to accomplish simple tasks.We’ve invited beta users and continue to tweak the product based on their feedback. We’re ramping up cautiously to ensure adequate risk and compliance controls as we move into this new domain. And, there’s still a lot to build.Right now, our team is working on a few table-stakes consumer banking features like Joint Accounts.
