Engineering Manager leading Release Engineering at Mercury, a fintech company. Oversees CI/CD infrastructure, build systems, and deployment automation for 400+ engineers. Requires 7+ years software engineering experience with 4+ years managing teams.
Every line of code that ships at Mercury passes through a gauntlet of builds, tests, and gates before it reaches our customers. On the surface, that process should feel seamless — frictionless for engineers, undetectable to users, and impossibly reliable. Behind that invisibility is Release Engineering.
Mercury moves fast. We ship frequently, our monorepo grows daily, and the pressure to do it right never lets up. Release Engineering is the team that makes this possible: owning the CI/CD platform, build infrastructure, deployment tooling, and the practices that let 400+ engineers deliver with confidence.
We're looking for an Engineering Manager to lead this team. You'll partner with the Backend Developer Experience team to deliver the full software delivery lifecycle from code commit to production, and build the engineering culture that keeps our release process a competitive advantage rather than a bottleneck.

What Success Looks Like:
In your first 90 days, you've developed deep context on Mercury's release infrastructure, built trust with your team, and identified the highest-leverage opportunities to improve pipeline performance and developer experience.
Within six months, you've shipped meaningful improvements to build reliability, deployment speed, or observability — and your team has a clear roadmap for the next year.
Over time, you've made Mercury's release process a model for how fintech companies can move fast without breaking things.
