Requirements

Candidates should excel at platform thinking and understanding how to design systems that start focused but can elegantly expand to serve entire ecosystems. They must master visual craft at scale, creating design systems that maintain beauty and usability whether serving 10 customers or 10,000. Candidates must also navigate complex stakeholder dynamics, balancing the needs of founders, accountants, bookkeepers, and business objectives, and think strategically about competitive disruption. Expertise in multi-sided platforms, having designed products that serve both end users and the professionals who support them, is essential. A strong focus on workflow optimization and bridging consumer and enterprise design principles is also required.

Responsibilities

The Staff Product Designer will define the future of bookkeeping software by creating a compelling user experience that encourages migration from legacy platforms. They will design for dual users with competing needs: founders seeking simplicity and automation, and professional accountants requiring power, flexibility, and integration with practice management tools. Responsibilities include architecting a platform strategy that integrates accounting capabilities into Mercury's ecosystem, creating visual systems for complex financial data, and pioneering collaborative workflows. The designer will also focus on platform extensibility for future integrations, drive strategic efforts from early adoption to advancing Mercury's accountant strategy, and balance immediate usability with long-term vision.
