Senior Software Engineer at Mercury building internal AI platform infrastructure. Focus on LLM gateway systems, MCP servers, knowledge layers, and enabling teams to prototype and deploy AI workflows safely at scale.
In 1600, William Gilbert published De Magnete—the first systematic study of magnetism. He didn't just theorize; he built instruments, ran experiments, and shared what he learned so that others could go further. Three centuries later, those foundations helped power the modern world.
At Mercury, we're making a deliberate, company-wide bet on AI. Frontier users are already pushing boundaries—building agents, automating workflows, moving fast. But they're doing it in silos. This role exists to change that: to take those scattered experiments and turn them into shared infrastructure, shared context, and shared capability. The goal is a multiplier effect—where the most ambitious AI work inside Mercury lifts the velocity of everyone else.
You'll join a team that has already started building Mercury's internal AI platform and enablement layer. Your work will be to extend, harden, and scale what's in motion, and to help partner teams adopt it.
This list is illustrative. Priorities will shift as we learn; the right person will help choose the next highest-leverage work.
