The Risk Engineering team is the navigation system for this universe. Our job is to guide thousands of ambitious people safely through Mercury’s orbit every day—each with its own trajectory, risk profile, and story. We operate at escape velocity: moving fast, making confident decisions, and protecting the system without slowing down the builders who rely on us. When we do our work well, founders open bank accounts in delightful minutes, not days—and never have to think about the complexity humming beneath the surface. Now we’re entering a new era. We’re building agentic AI systems that don’t just score risk, but reason about it—systems that can investigate, decide, escalate, and learn. These agents will help power and automate our KYC Refresh, EDD, ODD, and compliance workflows, taking our operations to the next level of efficiency and scale. The goal: less manual toil, earlier risk detection, sharper decisions, and experiences that feel almost magical in their simplicity.
Job Responsibility:
Drive AI Product Development in Risk: You’ll help shape the architecture and implementation of AI-powered risk systems—from application approvals to ongoing and enhanced due diligence—turning messy, ambiguous signals into clear outcomes
Collaborate Across Functions: You’ll partner with Product, Design, Risk Strategy, Compliance, and Operations to translate evolving regulatory and operational needs into elegant, resilient software. And you’ll push the frontier of what’s possible when modern AI meets thoughtfully designed systems
Lead Projects End-to-End: Drive technical projects from concept to production across the stack. Define solutions, analyze tradeoffs, make critical decisions, and deliver software that works today and is sustainable for tomorrow
Craftsmanship: Write clear, testable, and maintainable code. Establish patterns and best practices that your team can follow, ensuring long-term scalability and reliability
Drive Quality & Scalability: Design extensible platform systems that create leverage, make balanced decisions on tech debt, plan careful rollouts, and own the quality of your work through post-launch monitoring
Operational Excellence: Model a strong culture of operational excellence, holding a high bar for observability, reliability, and incident response
Think Product, Not Just Code: Approach problems with a product mindset. You care as much about the business impact of what you build as the technical design
Mentor & Elevate: Coach engineers on your team by sharing patterns, practices, and critical thinking to raise the technical bar and foster a culture of sustainable engineering
Requirements:
5+ years of software engineering experience, preferably in Payments or Risk
Agentic AI expertise—you’ve built and launched applied Agentic AI products that have had strong business impact, shipping them from 0→1 and scaling 1→10 in production environments
Proven success building large-scale distributed systems, ideally involving 3rd party integrations and decision automation
A mindset that balances urgency with craftsmanship: shipping fast, without cutting corners on quality engineering
A track record of raising the bar for quality and operational excellence, balancing shipping speed with technical excellence and observability
Creativity and adaptability — you think beyond the obvious and find solutions that move both product and business forward
Strong communication and leadership skills—you can inspire other engineers and articulate tradeoffs to influence decisions across teams
Experience with or curiosity about KYC, AML, risk, or compliance systems in financial services or fintech
