Mercury is building the banking stack for startups*. This turns out to be a pretty wild endeavor, so we’re looking to bring someone smart onto our compliance team to help us out.

As an Onboarding Specialist, you’ll be focused on getting bank accounts open for startups from all over the world. These companies will range from the latest hot Silicon Valley tech startup cracking cheap space travel to a Peruvian farm growing sustainable coffee, so you’ll be exposed to a pretty wide range of characters and ideas.

You’ll make getting an account for a startup easier than buying groceries, and you’ll also sniff out and catch bad actors, balancing protection of our company with a great user experience.

• Figure out how to improve product and processes to make onboarding unthinkably smooth
