About the role
Open call for founders or founding teams (Eng+) to collaborate on building AI products (Command, CLI, MCP) at Mercury. Flexible, non-fixed role focused on autonomous small teams delivering AI-powered financial products.
Responsibilities
- Find the problem. Work close enough to customers that you spot what matters before anyone assigns it to you — then decide it's worth building.
- Build and automate the workflow end to end using Command, CLI, MCP, and the rest of our AI stack.
- Ship to customers fast — quick understanding, tight iteration, deploy.
- Measure the impact honestly, then do the next one. Kill what didn't move; double down on what did.
- Run as an autonomous team — pick the target, ship the thing, own the outcome.
Qualifications
- Have shipped something real - a product, a tool, a company, or an open-source project people actually use.
- Be dangerous across the stack: PMs who can prototype, engineers with product taste.
- Have strong opinions about AI products and the judgment to recognize fast when one of them is wrong.
- Hands experience building AI products with AI, and knowledge about RAG, evals, agent harnesses a plus
- Move fast and measure. Expect most experiments to fail and treat that as the price of finding the ones that don't.
- Care about craft where it's impactful and resist polishing what isn't.
- Communicate clearly and own outcomes - we want real business impact, customer time/pain saved, and a path to scaling what works

- Open to longer-term relationship opportunities as projects evolve
