- In a digital world where security risks are always changing, having IT Security and Support on board is crucial. Come be the hero who helps us stay safe and maintains trust with our customers
- 4+ years of IT operations experience, ideally in a fast-paced tech startup; fintech, banking*, or compliance-adjacent environments strongly preferred given regulatory context

- Strong macOS proficiency required; working knowledge of Windows, Linux, iOS, and Android
- Hands-on expertise with Jamf, Kandji, or comparable MDM platforms

- Familiarity with IAM concepts and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
- Programming experience in Python or TypeScript strongly preferred
- Familiarity with standard security and compliance frameworks (NIST, CIS, ISO) and how they translate into operational controls
- Strong problem-solving skills with a bias for action, ownership, and comfort operating in high-velocity, high-accountability environments
- Security certifications encouraged
What the job involves
- Protecting our customer’s security and privacy is a top priority. We're all about using the latest technology to do things smarter. That's why we need an IT Support Analyst. This person will be our go-to for making sure our employees systems are securely maintained while minimizing friction for internal teams
- Provide day-to-day IT support to employees and contractors via a support queue, serving as a primary point of contact for IT operations
- Own and implement a comprehensive asset management program covering endpoint devices, virtual infrastructure, cloud assets, domains, certificates, and IoT devices
- Establish and maintain a codified, periodic inventory reconciliation process across discovery tools (e.g., Torii, MDM) to ensure accuracy and completeness
- Manage software license lifecycle including tracking, renewals, and disposition planning
- Deploy, configure, and maintain endpoint management solutions with a strong focus on macOS and Jamf
- Manage and support core SaaS platforms including Okta, Salesforce, and MDM tooling
- Assist with application onboarding for contractors and new employees
- Help define and document IT Support policies including scope, service levels, escalation procedures, and separation of duties controls
- Ensure job functions and access privileges are explicitly mapped to control responsibilities and documented accordingly
- Write scripts and build automation (Python or TypeScript) to reduce manual IT workload, enforce controls, and improve operational efficiency; contribute to and polish existing IT bots
- Work with application and software engineers to implement continuous improvement, automation, and system upgrades
- Aid in the creation and maintenance of IT policies and standard operating procedures that meet regulatory and audit requirements
Our take
Frustrated by the archaic, fee-laden banking services offered to entrepreneurs, the founders of Mercury set out to create a better solution. They envisioned a platform that was dynamic, tech-driven, and free from unnecessary fees.
Mercury delivers on this vision by automating business payment processes, offering FDIC-insured accounts, and providing full API access, empowering entrepreneurs with greater control and efficiency. This approach stands in stark contrast to traditional startup banking, which often burdens young businesses with high fees and limited functionality.
By prioritizing user experience and offering a free service tier, Mercury has attracted over 200,000 businesses and achieved a $3.5B valuation as of 2025. As a rising unicorn in the stagnant world of startup banking, mercury is backed by substantial funding and poised for continued growth, constantly adding new features and expanding its team to further disrupt the industry.
