Electric street lights made their debut in Paris in 1878 marking a significant shift from using gas lamps. Offering brighter and more reliable illumination, they enhanced nighttime visibility, safety, and convenience, while reducing maintenance costs and eliminating the hazards of gas lighting.
Their widespread adoption by cities prompted new lighting policies and heavily influenced urban infrastructure development. Electric street lights not just transformed the urban environment but redefined our idea of public safety and convenience.
One and a half centuries later, Mercury is on a similar journey to transform banking* experiences to become safer and more convenient so that startups spend less time banking and more time building. We believe that the key to our success revolves around thoughtful design and we’re looking to hire the first staff product designer for our Risk Organization. As a staff designer, you’ll play a critical role in shaping how customers interact with risk and fraud experiences and build best-in-class tools for our internal teams.
