Responsibilities:
Lead a team of 3 senior IC data scientists supporting the Expansion team across bill pay, invoicing, spend management, accounting, credit/lending, and personal banking initiatives

Develop comprehensive measurement frameworks and automated reporting systems for new product launches
Create and maintain sophisticated A/B testing frameworks to evaluate product improvements
Partner with Product and Engineering leads to establish data infrastructure and ML systems for new product lines

Hands-on experience with real-time machine learning: building, deploying, and managing P0 production systems with SRE responsibilities
Experience building self-service analytics tools and data products
Strong background in experimentation and causal inference
Track record of successful zero-to-one product development and launches
Background in financial services (banking, insurance, accounting, or payments)
Proven ability to influence strategy and lead cross-functional initiatives
The total rewards package at Mercury includes base salary, equity (stock options), and benefits.
