Senior Product Designer - Cards & Credit

Mercury is looking for a Senior Product Designer to join our Cards & Credit team. You'll tackle complex product problems, question inherited assumptions, and shape experiences that help startups spend less time banking and more time building.

In this role, you'll:

• Own meaningful Cards & Credit product problems from initial framing through shipped experience, partnering closely with Product and Engineering.
• Turn complicated systems, requirements, and edge cases into experiences that feel remarkably simple and intuitive.
• Work across the entire design stack, from framing problems and exploring concepts to workflows, detailed interactions, visual design, prototyping, and final implementation.
• Explore broadly and design from first principles, questioning inherited patterns and assumptions.
• Bring a high level of interaction and visual craft to the Cards & Credit experience, from workflow structures to typography, motion, and state.
• Collaborate with Mercury’s Brand team on physical cards and related products, creating a cohesive experience.
• Develop a deep understanding of customers, communicate design reasoning clearly, and work through tradeoffs with partners.

What you'll bring:

• A strong portfolio of product work demonstrating exceptional product thinking, interaction design, and visual craft.
• An ability to understand complicated systems and turn them into simple, thoughtful product experiences.
• Deep curiosity about why a problem exists before deciding how to solve it, with a willingness to question assumptions and work from first principles.
• Real ambition for the work itself and a high bar for craft.
• Comfort navigating ambiguity and taking ownership without waiting for every requirement to be defined.
• A habit of exploring multiple possibilities, prototyping ideas, and changing direction when a stronger solution emerges.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills to build conviction with Product and Engineering partners.
• Deep care for customers and an ambition to create products that genuinely make their lives better.

You don’t need a background in banking, fintech, cards, or credit.
