Company mission
To make scaling tech companies simpler with a personalized banking stack for startups, and power the next generation of companies that will shape the American industry.
Role
Who you are
- Be interested in continually honing their craft
- Have curiosity and be willing to share their perspective
- Appreciate quality in their work and that of others
- Communicate well, and be able to write clear explanations of their reasoning on technical decisions
What the job involves
- This is a paid full-time remote summer internship for 12-16 weeks between May - September
- Our internship program is intended for individuals enrolled in an academic program (undergraduate, graduate, etc.)
- We think Davy’s sacrifice was worth it, though, since Faraday went on to do experimental work in the field of electromagnetism that is foundational to innumerable modern technologies
- While we can’t promise you’ll become the next Faraday, we can promise you won’t be asked to deal with explosives on the job
- Instead, you’ll be receiving mentorship from experienced mobile engineers (iOS and Android), writing Swift/Kotlin (maybe some TypeScript code), and contributing to a product that serves over 100,000 businesses
- You’ll be joining as a Mobile Engineering Intern; we’d like to see folks who’ve got existing experience with native iOS or Android apps (no React Native, sorry!
- ) and might have some interest in working on some mobile-related full-stack tooling
- Join a small-but-mighty team of experienced iOS and Android engineers (and one backend dev!) – the team has been making apps for over a decade and we’re pretty darn good at it
- Work closely with designers to ship a beautiful app – they love to collaborate on getting the details right; plus, many of our customers are startups and appreciate our thoughtful, polished designs
- Feel a strong sense of product ownership and actively seek responsibility – we often self-organize on small/medium projects, and we want someone who’s excited to lay their own vision atop our foundation and make a big impact across the mobile team and Mercury as a whole
- Have a possible interest in other parts of our stack (Android: Kotlin/Compose; iOS: UIKit/SwiftUI/RxSwift; Frontend: TypeScript/React; Backend: Haskell)
- Have existing experience in either/both iOS or Android, using UIKit/SwiftUI (iOS) or Jetpack Compose (Android)
Application process
- Applications close on February 7th, 2025
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 100,000 businesses and achieved a $1B valuation in 2021. As a rising unicorn in the stagnant world of startup banking, mercury is poised for continued growth, constantly adding new features and expanding its team to further disrupt the industry.
