Senior Engineering Manager – Domestic Wires & Real-time Payments

Mercury is seeking a Senior Engineering Manager for the Domestic Wires & RTP team, which builds the systems behind secure, compliant, and reliable money movement. These systems must balance speed with safety, scale with strict controls, and product flexibility with regulatory requirements. As Mercury pursues a bank charter, this team is at the leading edge of building the infrastructure and controls required to operate bank-grade payments systems. Remote US (also SF, NY, Portland, or remote Canada). Salary: $239,000–$298,800 USD (US employees).

• 5+ years of experience managing software engineering teams at multiple organizations (experience leading remote-first, distributed teams is a plus). • Has been hired as an external manager previously and knows how to gain domain knowledge to have positive impact quickly. • Experience operating in high-responsibility/high-impact domains. • Comfortable with ambiguity and growing scope. • Track record of leading through cross-functional and cross-team coordination. • Brings strong technical judgment and credibility — you'll interview at a similar technical depth as senior ICs. • Familiar with the tech stack (especially Haskell), or excited to learn it. • Experience in finance, fintech, or banking systems; payments experience is a plus.
