Mercury is a fintech company building the banking stack for startups with a focus on a powerful product experience. The role involves owning Mercury's API, integrating with AI tools, and developing AI-powered product experiences to enhance programmability and customer interaction with their finances.
Responsibilities:
- Own the roadmap for Mercury's API and drive it from niche, read-heavy usage toward a comprehensive platform that enables customers to build on top of Mercury
- Define Mercury's strategy for connecting to the broader ecosystem of AI tools and developer platforms including how we expose capabilities, what integrations we prioritize, and how we become a first-class citizen in agentic workflows
- Lead the product vision for how AI transforms the way people interact with their finances inside Mercury: from asking questions about their business to taking action on their behalf
- Develop a deep understanding of how Mercury's most technical customers use our API today, and what they're trying to do that they can't yet
- Partner with engineering to make hard technical tradeoffs about API design, data access, and capabilities: you should be able to hold your own in these conversations
- Work closely with Mercury's growth and partnerships teams to ensure our API and AI products are a competitive advantage in acquisition and retention
- Navigate a high-velocity environment where leadership cares deeply about this space and expects you to move fast and think originally
Requirements:
- 7+ years of product management experience, with meaningful time spent building API products, developer tools, or AI-powered products
- You've worked on things that are largely invisible to end users but critically important to the people who use them
- You understand what it means to build for developers and technical users
- You thrive in a culture where leadership is deeply engaged
- You can take a nascent product area with real traction and turn it into a coherent strategy with a clear roadmap
- You're genuinely excited about what's happening in AI right now and are actively building with these tools
- You have side projects
- You have opinions about where agents are going
- You've used MCP
- You're not waiting for someone to tell you what's possible
