Scored from the posting itself — how clearly the role is described, how much it says about pay and benefits, and how recently it was listed. Not a judgement of Mercury as an employer.

What you need

  • 4–7 years of experience in management consulting, business operations, product operations, or a similar role where you owned a business outcome end to end
  • Hands-on experience building with AI: agents, workflows, automations, internal tools
  • Comfortable defining your own KPI, plan, and build in ambiguity, then defending all three to a skeptical team lead
  • Fluent with tooling (APIs, low-code and no-code builders, SQL) and able to communicate effectively with teams about new tools

What you get

  • Base salary
  • Equity (stock options/RSUs)
  • Highly competitive salary and equity ranges
  • Regular updates based on reliable compensation survey data

Worth weighing

  • No specific details on the tools and infrastructure provided by the AI Engineering team
  • Role involves significant change management which may require strong interpersonal skills
  • The position requires working in ambiguity, which may not suit all candidates
