Important: “Everything in the world began with a yes. One molecule said yes to another molecule and life was born. But before prehistory there was the prehistory of prehistory, and there was the never, and there was the yes. It was ever so."
— Clarice Lispector
Every Mercury customer begins somewhere in the never, but not yet fully arrived. Not yet alive in the product.
The Activation team exists to close that distance. To design the conditions that move a customer from the never to the yes: their first deposit, their first payment sent, their first card created, and their first real sense of what Mercury can do for their business. That first yes is not a feature or a metric. It is the beginning of a relationship. And like all beginnings, it shapes everything that follows.
We’re looking for a product manager to lead this effort: to guide customers from their first deposit to their first “aha” moment and to design the systems that help them keep discovering value every single day. Done well, this work is invisible but essential, more choreography than funnel, more intuition than automation.
Activation is one of the most important levers we have to grow Mercury, and to grow with intention. It’s how we turn new signups into enduring customers, introduce the full depth of what Mercury can do, and create the foundation for long-term relationships.
This role is at the center of that motion. You’ll help shape how people first experience Mercury, guide them toward value, and design systems that help them build trust, momentum, and confidence. It’s subtle, foundational work, quietly powerful in shaping how our customers grow, and how we grow with them.

Mercury is remote-first and opens most roles to anyone in the United States or Canada. Some roles are US-only, including sales and SDR positions, certain compliance and audit roles, and weekend support. You can also work from Mercury's offices in San Francisco, New York, and Portland, Oregon by choice, and there is a Dublin, Ireland office for EMEA customer-support roles. Each posting lists its own location eligibility, so check the specific role you are interested in.
Mercury publishes a salary range on every job posting and bases offers on your experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers. Pay is geo-adjusted between countries: a senior engineering role, for example, recently listed roughly $167K to $208K in the United States versus about CAD 157K to 197K in Canada. Every employee also receives equity as stock options or RSUs, and RSU grants vest over six years with no cliff, with a seven-year window to exercise after you leave.

On top of medical, dental, and vision coverage, Mercury offers 12 or more weeks of paid parental leave and fertility, hormonal-health, and family-forming benefits through Carrot. Retirement matching runs up to 4 percent of base salary through a 401(k), or an RRSP for Canadian employees. Remote-friendly stipends include a $600 home-office equipment setup, a $100 weekly food budget, a $100 monthly wellness budget, a $50 monthly phone reimbursement, and a $1,000 annual learning and development budget.
Mercury runs on six stated values: Think actively, Be super helpful, Act with humility, Appreciate quality, Focus on the outcome, and Build relentlessly. In practice that looks like curiosity and experimentation, going out of your way to help teammates, and taking ownership of results while leaving ego at the door. People who want high autonomy and direct impact, and who care about craft and building things that last, tend to thrive here.
Mercury has not published async-first practices such as no-meeting days or documentation-first norms, so expect a fairly synchronous, real-time way of working with meaningful overlap with your teammates. Its offices in San Francisco, New York, and Portland anchor US time zones, and roles run across US and Canadian time zones. Engineering teams are described as autonomous and close-knit, so there is real self-direction within that synchronous default.
Beyond the Haskell backend, Mercury builds its web frontend in TypeScript and React, its iOS app in Swift, and its Android app in Kotlin, on Postgres with AWS infrastructure managed through Nix and Terraform. The data and AI tooling spans Snowflake and BigQuery pipelines and several large language model providers, so engineers work across a modern, type-forward stack rather than a legacy fintech one.
