### We're a team of  summer vegetables, fruit, and herbs washed in river water.

### We work from around the world and come together a couple of times a year.

We work and live in San Francisco, Austin, Seattle, Toronto. D.C., Copenhagen, Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, and more. 

### We're reimagining financial technology.

Currently we have 40,000+ companies we're building for such as: [Linear](http://linear.app/), [Maven](https://maven.com/), [Trust&Will](https://trustandwill.com/), [Shef](https://shef.com/), [Golden](https://golden.com/), [Mighty](https://www.mightyapp.com/), [Lunchclub](https://lunchclub.com/), [Scratchpad](https://scratchpad.com/), [Stir](https://www.usestir.com/), and more.

### We make time to stay in touch.

We have a couple of regular Zoom sessions each week that bring the whole group together to workshop designs, collect feedback, share inspiration, or just drink coffee and hang out.\
\
Our team is distributed so we make sure to meet in person at least once every six months and we also do smaller offsites. As a team, we've visited San Francisco, Outer Banks, New York City, and Austin.

How does your team stay connected when working remotely?

In 1954, in Columbus, Indiana, Eero Saarinen designed a bank with glass walls, no offices, and a completely open floor plan. It was surrounded by trees; the furniture was made by Herman Miller; the lobby flooring was thick, rustic brick. The bank was built with transparency and community at its core.

Since 1954, a lot of things have happened—Saarinen’s bank branch is now a conference center, people increasingly live on the internet, and it’s hard to think of a single bank that still applies design thinking to their product.

Mercury is building the banking stack for startups\*. We believe that in 2022 this revolves around thoughtful design, and we’re looking to add a product designer to our team to help.

*\*Mercury is a financial technology company, not a bank. Banking services provided by Choice Financial Group and Evolve Bank & Trust®; Members FDIC.*

You’ll:

* Take ownership of large portions of a complex product

* Work across the entire design stack, including: speccing projects; designing workflows, detailed interactions, and high-fidelity visuals; and ensuring quality implementation

* Find elegant solutions to user problems, and think critically from the user perspective

* Simplify and cull design elements with a ruthless eye

* Craft designs from first principles (referencing existing solutions is often a poor idea in banking)

* Imbue mundane tasks and flows with a feeling of wonder

* Prototype multiple visual and UX concepts and then narrow them to the right solution

* Explain and debate the reasoning behind your product decisions

* Work directly with the Design Team

You should:

* Have the ability to design whole systems, not just interface elements or static pages

* Have experience and interest in the entire design stack, including UI/UX, visual design, and interaction design

* Have experience building for a variety of form factors, including mobile

* Understand when no design is the best design

* Have a strong personal design aesthetic and also understand the Mercury aesthetic

* Want to create elegant, calm designs that predict and exceed users’ expectations

* Feel comfortable anticipating and designing for edge cases

* Understand the balance between perfect design and getting to market

* Exhibit kindness and humility in everyday interactions
