Engineering Manager - Mercury Accounting

We're looking for an engineering leader who is excited to lead their team to execute on our vision for real-time accounting and own a critical part of Mercury's product growth.

As part of this role, you will:

• Lead a team of 6+ exceptional software engineers, growing the team through performance management, mentorship, and hiring.
• Contribute to a team culture that aligns to Mercury's values.
• Help define technical architecture for ingesting financial data from hundreds of sources and streaming them to Mercury's accounting service.
• Work closely with designers, product leaders, and other cross-functional stakeholders to shape product strategy and execute on the Accounting team roadmap.
• Collaborate with other engineering teams on overlapping work, optimizing for product cohesion and simplicity over strict division of responsibility.

The ideal candidate for the role:

• Has 3+ years of engineering management leading full-stack product engineering teams, especially teams that have leveraged AI to build software.
• Has made architectural decisions in the past and measured the impact of those decisions over time. You should be able to clearly articulate your technical opinions and lay out tradeoffs.
• Has a strong sense of technical and product ownership and actively seeks responsibility – our engineers often act as product owners on small/medium projects, and we want someone who’s excited to help shape the future of our accounting products; previous experience in fintech/accounting or building consumer-facing AI products is a nice-to-have.
• Is comfortable driving discussions in areas with ambiguous ownership, approaches them with empathy, and prioritizes reaching outcomes.

Our work overlaps with many other teams – you’ll have a lot of autonomy in this role and are expected to use it to seek out ways to have an impact.
