In 1968, the New York Stock Exchange began closing on Wednesdays so brokerage firms could catch up on paperwork. Every transaction depended on physical stock certificates being delivered, recorded, and reconciled. Trading had outgrown the infrastructure behind it. The expression “Paperwork crisis” had entered the nation's agenda resulting in other temporary measures like shortened trading days and extending settlement. The industry responded with electronic clearing systems and the establishment of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) laying the foundation for markets that could operate at an entirely different scale.

Every share needs an identity, every movement needs a record, and every balance needs to agree with the institutions holding the assets. The best financial infrastructure makes this complexity feel ordinary. Building it takes extraordinary care.

At Mercury , our Investments team helps founders put their capital to work through products like Treasury and Invest.

Partner with product, investment operations, and compliance to turn business and regulatory requirements into well-designed systems, operational controls, and auditable workflows that balance correctness, scale, and maintainability.

Collaborate with Product and Partnerships to align integrations, responsibilities, and technical roadmaps.

The ideal candidate for the role:

Has 3+ years of experience managing highly technical teams.

Has direct experience building or operating RIA and broker-dealer custody systems at scale, including ledgers, security master service, cash and securities reconciliation, and money movement.
