Mercury was founded to make banking* better for all businesses. We started by imagining what the best banking platform for startups would look like and in a few years we have thousands of customers using Mercury’s products, supporting their businesses as they grow. As Mercury continues its rapid growth trajectory, navigating the complex and ever-evolving partnerships and regulatory landscape is not just a necessity but a competitive advantage. Our mission is to transform how banking operates, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. This means you will have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career.
Mercury is building a complete finance stack for startups. We work hard to create the easiest and safest banking experience possible to simplify entrepreneurs' and business owners’ financial lives. To enable this stellar banking experience, we need to have a deep understanding of our customers from the moment they onboard and mature it each time they interact with our product. We are looking to hire a data scientist who will advance our data-first approach to managing risk by surfacing key metrics, building automated and reliable reporting to cross-functional teams, diving into complex data questions, and working to enhance our data infrastructure and understanding from end-to-end.
In this role, you’ll be responsible for proactively deriving data insights and partnering with risk, compliance, engineering, product, and design to inform how we understand and mitigate financial, regulatory, and reputational risk. You’ll build a data-informed culture across Mercury so that we can all determine what’s happening, react quickly, and invest intelligently. You will work on projects end-to-end and build deep domain expertise in the intersection of Data Science and Risk.
