In the small town of Takefu, Japan, a centuries-old tradition of crafting the world's finest kitchen knives lives on through the skilled hands of master artisans like Shiro Kamo. With each precise strike of the hammer and careful adjustment of the forge, Kamo-san infuses his unwavering dedication and passion into every knife he creates. The result is a tool that not only performs flawlessly but serves as an extension of the user's own hand, expanding the possibilities of what a talented chef can achieve. At Mercury, we draw inspiration from masters like Kamo-san as we strive to infuse the same level of skill, intuition, and beauty into our financial technology craft, particularly in our iOS app.

Just as a chef relies on their trusted knife to bring their culinary visions to life, we believe that businesses should have access to financial tools that are not only functional but also a joy to use. As we embark on this exciting journey, we are looking for a great iOS Engineer who can help us expand the Mercury iOS app, enabling our users to have peace of mind by managing their finances in a safe, stable, and beautiful application.

* Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.

In this role, you will:

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Maintain a high quality bar – we provide banking services, so preventing crashes, errors, visual glitches, and wacky edge-cases is a top priority for us.

You should:

  • Have at least 5 years of iOS experience, preferably in Swift
  • Have experience shipping production apps in UIKit, and experience/interest in SwiftUI.
    Familiarity with RxSwift is a plus, but if you don’t know a PublishSubject from a BehaviorSubject, that’s fine! 
  • Have a possible interest in other parts of our stack (Android: Kotlin/Compose; Frontend: TypeScript/React; Backend: Haskell/Nix).
  • Be adaptable (we context-switch!); empathetic (recognize when a user’s having a bad time); and have a good sense of humor and/or have strong feelings about puns. 
  • Above all else, we’re looking for great engineers with a deep passion for iOS apps and an interest in learning – even if you don’t meet all the qualifications, we’d love to hear from you!

The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and benefits. Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry. New hire offers are made based on a candidate’s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.

Our target new hire base salary ranges for this role are the following:

  • US employees (any location): $203,100- $238,900
  • Canadian employees (any location): CAD $184,800 - $217,400

As set forth in Mercury’s Equal Employment Opportunity policy, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected group status under any applicable law.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
