Define and build the platform Mercury engineers use to deploy, operate, and evolve services.

Own the strategy for service ecosystem at Mercury including identity, authentication, discovery and communication

Work with product stakeholders and Release Engineering to create a paved deployment path with strong defaults for rollouts, rollbacks, configuration, secrets, and operational safety.

Help evolve Mercury’s service runtime architecture, including our use of Kubernetes, while keeping existing services healthy through the transition.

Make observability self-service so product engineers can understand and debug their systems without routing every question through Infrastructure.

Partner closely with Release Engineering, Security, and product engineering teams to create infrastructure that is compliant with financial regulations and useful enough that teams actively want to adopt it.

Find the highest-leverage gaps in our services ecosystem and ship pragmatic improvements instead of waiting for a perfect future architecture.

Establish patterns that let Mercury support many more services without multiplying operational complexity at the same rate.

Mentor engineers and shape infrastructure thinking beyond the systems you directly own.

Have deep experience operating Kubernetes in production and strong instincts around deployment architecture, failure modes, and migrations.

Have designed or materially owned service-to-service authentication, workload identity, service discovery, service mesh, or related distributed-systems infrastructure.

Have experience building self-service observability or operational tooling for application engineers.
