Senior iOS Engineer

In the small town of Takefu Japan a centuries-old tradition of crafting the world's finest kitchen knives lives on through the skilled hands of master artisans like Shiro Kamo. With each precise strike of the hammer and careful adjustment of the forge Kamo-san infuses his unwavering dedication and passion into every knife he creates. The result is a tool that not only performs flawlessly but serves as an extension of the user's own hand expanding the possibilities of what a talented chef can achieve. At Mercury we draw inspiration from masters like Kamo-san as we strive to infuse the same level of skill intuition and beauty into our financial technology craft particularly in our iOS app.

Just as a chef relies on their trusted knife to bring their culinary visions to life we believe that businesses should have access to financial tools that are not only functional but also a joy to use. As we embark on this exciting journey we are looking for a great iOS Engineer who can help us expand the Mercury iOS app enabling our users to have peace of mind by managing their finances in a safe stable and beautiful application.

*Mercury is a fintech company not an FDIC-insured bank. Banking services provided through Choice Financial Group and Column N.A. Members FDIC.

In this role you will:

• Join a small-but-mighty team of experienced iOS and Android engineers (and one backend dev!) – the team has been making apps for over a decade and we’re pretty darn good at it.

• Feel a strong sense of product ownership and actively seek responsibility – we often self-organize on small/medium projects and we want someone who’s excited to lay their own vision atop our foundation and make a big impact across the mobile team and Mercury as a whole.

• Work closely with designers to ship a beautiful app – they love to collaborate on getting the details right; plus many of our customers are startups and appreciate our thoughtful polished designs.

• Maintain a high quality bar – we provide banking services so preventing crashes errors visual glitches and wacky edge-cases is a top priority for us.

You should:

• Have at least 5 years of iOS experience working in Swift.

• Have experience shipping production apps with SwiftUI and some experience working in UIKit (we use both).

• Be interested in learning about and engaging with other parts of our stack (Android: Kotlin/Compose; Frontend: TypeScript/React; Backend: Haskell/Nix).

• Be adaptable (we often context switch between product domains) empathetic (product teams are trying to ship product and don’t always think about mobile first) and pragmatic.

• Above all else we’re looking for great engineers with a deep passion for iOS apps and an interest in learning – even if you don’t meet all the qualifications we’d love to hear from you !
