Senior Full-Stack Engineer - Card Fraud and Disputes

San Francisco, CA, New York, NY, Portland, OR, or Remote within Canada or United States

Soaring high above the Gardon River, the Pont du Gard is a masterpiece of ancient Roman engineering, blending monumental scale with remarkable precision. Constructed in the 1st century CE, this aqueduct carried water over 30 miles to the Roman colony of Nemausus (modern-day Nîmes, France).

Built without mortar, the Pont du Gard relied on meticulously cut stones—some weighing up to six tons—fitted so precisely that the structure has endured for centuries. Its gentle gradient of 1 in 3,000 (0.03%) allowed water to flow steadily and efficiently across the vast distance, a testament to the Romans’ deep understanding of water management and infrastructure design.

Just as the Pont du Gard exemplifies ingenuity and precision, at Mercury, we draw inspiration from such timeless innovations. Our Card Fraud and Disputes team creates systems that are not only seamless and reliable but also built to last. For our customers, we provide effortless processes for submitting fraud and dispute claims. For our investigators, we develop tools that transform complexity into clarity and efficiency.

You’re a full-stack engineer with a strong sense of ownership who can bring the entire engineering team along with you as a leader, who thrives in a collaborative, cross-functional environment.

The skills we’re looking for are:

  • Ownership: Independently take ownership of and drive projects, from initial ideation to deployment, both through owning the technical implementation, and breaking up the project and serving as a technical lead to multiple engineers.
  • Full-Stack Development: Design, implement, and maintain backend APIs and front-end user interfaces, ensuring systems are both seamless and scalable.
  • Technical Design and Documentation: Create and review technical design documents and API specifications, contributing to architectural decisions and system design.
  • Cross-Team Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, designers, and risk operations stakeholders to deliver thoughtful and impactful solutions.

The Ideal Candidate for this Role:

  • Has 5-7+ years of demonstrated full-stack experience working at the senior level or higher with a strong sense of ownership, and has demonstrated experience leading engineering teams to deliver projects from inception to completion.
  • Is experienced with, or excited to learn, our frontend technologies including: React, TypeScript, and Redux.
  • Is experienced with, or excited to learn, our backend technologies including: Haskell, Yesod, Persistent, and Postgresql.

The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and comprehensive benefits. Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly based on reliable compensation survey data. 

Our target new hire base salary ranges are:

- US employees (any location): $203,100 - $238,900 USD

Form CC-305

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
