Job Description
Our forebears found wisdom in the rhythm of tides and the migration patterns of birds, reading nature's encyclopedia with practiced eyes, while today's explorers navigate through infinite digital corridors and virtual landscapes that exist only in servers. Now our fingertips dance across surfaces that pulse with invisible electricity—screens that transform abstract data into living, breathing insights. These luminous windows have evolved beyond mere tools: they're archaeologists of information, cartographers of possibility, and architects, building bridges between the chaos of raw data and the clarity of human understanding in our interconnected, algorithm-driven world.
To guide the craftspeople who build these digital bridges, we're seeking a Mobile Engineering Manager who understands that modern business moves at the speed of thumbs and fingertips—for entrepreneurs closing deals from coffee shops, CFOs approving payments from airport lounges, and small business owners managing cash flow between client meetings. We need someone to lead a team of exceptional mobile engineers who can create financial tools that work seamlessly for folks who aren't tethered to their desks but still need to move their businesses and lives forward.
As part of this role, you will:
- Lead an experienced engineering team of 8, consisting of both Android & iOS engineers, including one backend engineer. The team has been building apps for over a decade and has a strong passion for their craft.
- Mentor, retain, and provide feedback to high-performing engineers of all skill levels. You'll contribute to a culture of innovation, collaboration, and calculated risk-taking.
- Work closely with engineering leaders, designers, product leaders, and other cross-functional stakeholders. Including selling ideas across teams, influencing product roadmaps, and creating structured approaches that elevate mobile without creating unnecessary overhead for other engineering teams.
- Serve as the connective tissue between mobile and the broader engineering organization, translating mobile constraints and opportunities into language that resonates with backend, web, and infrastructure teams.
The ideal candidate for the role:
- Has 5+ years of engineering management leading mobile and/or web engineering teams.
- Has the ability to dive deep into technical discussions, with strong expertise in both iOS and Android development.
- Has familiarity with our mobile stack: Kotlin for Android & Swift/RxSwift for iOS.
- Is passionately product-minded and has experience building and shipping new products.
- Excels at developing engineers, creating clear advancement paths, and building teams that can execute independently while staying aligned with broader company goals.
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity, and benefits.
Our salary and equity ranges are highly competitive within the SaaS and fintech industry and are updated regularly using the most reliable compensation survey data for our industry. New hire offers are made based on a candidate’s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.

- US employees (any location): $239,000 - 298,800

Verify Employer Thoroughly
Research the company's identity thoroughly before applying. Check for a professional website with contacts, active social media, and LinkedIn profiles. Verify details across platforms and look for reviews on Glassdoor or Trustpilot to confirm legitimacy.
Never Pay to Get a Job
Legitimate employers never require payment for applications, training, background checks, or equipment. Always reject upfront payment requests or demands for bank details, even if they claim it's for purchasing necessary work gear on your behalf.
Safeguard Your Personal Information
Protect sensitive data like SSN, bank details, or ID copies. Share this only after accepting a formal, written job offer. Ensure it's submitted via a secure company system or portal, never through insecure channels like standard email attachments.
Scrutinize Communication & Interviews
Watch for communication red flags: poor grammar, generic emails (@gmail), vague details, or undue pressure. Be highly suspicious of interviews held only via text or chat apps; legitimate companies typically use video or phone calls.
Beware of Unrealistic Offers
If an offer's salary or benefits seem unrealistically high for the work involved, be cautious. Research standard pay for similar roles. Offers that appear 'too good to be true' are often scams designed to lure you into providing information or payment.
Insist on a Formal Contract
Always secure and review a formal, written job offer or employment contract before starting work or sharing final personal details. Ensure it clearly defines your role, compensation, key terms, and conditions to avoid misunderstandings or scams.
