In the 1950s, Norman Borlaug embarked on an effort to breed a new type of wheat that was disease resistant and had higher yields. In the outskirts of Mexico City, he combined his background of agricultural research and theoretical knowledge with careful experimentation and diligent data collection to run over 6,000 experiments - and he was ultimately successful, kicking off the “Green Revolution” that increased global crop yields by an estimated 44% and earned him a Nobel Prize.  At Mercury, we’re building the future of financial infrastructure for startups and growing businesses.

“The intense intellectual and emotional life, and the heightening of sensations which came with the advance of civilization, made it clear…that only a part of the pain, pleasure, and profit of life lay in physical things. Thoughts, emotions, and sensations demanded legal recognition….” Brandeis & Warren, The Right to Privacy Most law review articles are confined to the dustbins of history, but some end up changing the world.  In 1890, Samuel D. Warren and Louis Brandeis, two leading legal scholars of their era, co-authored the article The Right to Privacy in the Harvard Law Review. They essentially invented the right to privacy in the United States, and it was developed in response to technological innovation. Around that time, portable cameras and mass-circulation newspapers (as well as increasingly aggressive “yellow journalists”) raised concerns that people would not be let alone to enjoy their solitude without intrusion. This seminal work was quickly adopted by...

In 2001, a prominent corporate fraud scandal led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) of 2002, which introduced strict regulations on financial reporting and internal controls. While SOX was primarily focused on corporate governance, it became a foundational moment for IT controls and compliance—forcing companies to establish stronger audit trails, risk management processes, and accountability in IT systems. 2017, In one of the most infamous data breaches in history, the personal information of 147 million people was exposed due to an unpatched vulnerability. The breach wasn’t just a technical failure—it was a breakdown in governance and risk management. A known vulnerability had been disclosed, but it wasn’t properly tracked or remediated, showing a lack of strong risk and compliance processes. 2021, a single compromised password led to a ransomware attack that shut down fuel supplies across the U.S. East Coast, causing widespread panic and economic impact. Investigations found...

In 1989, Tadao Ando designed the Water Temple representing a radical change in the age-old tradition of Japanese temple architecture. Instead of a direct entrance, visitors descend a staircase through a lotus-filled pond, heightening anticipation and encouraging self-reflection. The temple remains hidden until one physically engages with the space, fostering a deep sense of discovery. By integrating nature, light, and movement, Ando’s design makes individuals active participants in their spiritual experience, rather than passive observers of architecture. Four decades later, we at Mercury are on a similar mission to empower individuals through deliberate interactions and introspections. Now, our Cards team is looking for a senior designer to bring this philosophy to life— elevating everyday experiences so startups spend less time banking* and more time building.  *Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank .
