Role

Who you are

You have 5+ years of experience with AWS
You have 3+ years of experience managing large-scale Terraform implementations, including the setup and maintenance of Terraform CI/CD pipelines
You have 3+ years of experience using configuration management tools such as Nix/Ansible, maintaining consistent and automated system configurations across multiple environments
You have demonstrated ability in technical writing, with at least 3 years of experience creating detailed technical documentation, RFCs, and tech specs that clearly communicate complex ideas
You bring at least 2 years of experience leading infrastructure projects in regulated environments such as HITRUST or SOC2, ensuring compliance and security
You have extensive experience, ideally 3 years or more, with observability and monitoring tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and OpenTelemetry, optimizing system performance and reliability

What the job involves

Take charge of our cloud architecture by migrating services to Docker, separating production and staging environments, and enhancing system resilience
Advance our monitoring and alerting frameworks to minimize direct system access and improve operational efficiency
Lead key infrastructure projects, break-down complex initiatives, and define our infrastructure strategy through detailed RFCs and technical specifications
At Mercury, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to help steer our cloud infrastructure into the future. With projects as dynamic as migrating our entire fleet to ECS and re-architecting our Terraform universe, your role is pivotal

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.
