Every new customer who applies for a Mercury bank* account is like a new star igniting in the night sky. At first glance, it's a single spark. But look closer, and a constellation emerges—identity and business verification, ownership and control checks, sanctions and adverse media screening, and fraud signals—all pulling on one another with invisible gravity.

The goal: less manual toil, earlier risk detection, sharper decisions, and experiences that feel almost magical in their simplicity. This is where you come in. We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is energized by the idea of bringing intelligent automation to life in real production systems. Someone who wants to design and build AI-driven workflows that can think in steps, adapt to new information, and orchestrate complex decisions across people, models, and services.
