Head of Product

Mercury is a Series B developer tools business — strong technical product, twelve thousand active customers, the kind of growth profile that means you’re hiring for who you’ll be in two years rather than who you are today.

The Head of Product role is open because the CEO (a technical founder) has been running product themselves for three years and the firm has reached the point where that’s no longer scalable. They’re looking for the senior product leader who can take that work, build the team behind it, and partner with engineering and design on the firm’s next chapter.

What makes this interesting: the product is technically substantive — developer tools where the customers are themselves senior engineers and the conversations are about API design, abstraction layering, and ergonomics rather than colour palettes. You need someone who can hold those conversations credibly.

Who fits: you’ve led product at a developer tools or technical SaaS business through scaling. You’ve hired and built product teams of 4-10. You’re comfortable with the technical detail without being precious about it. You’ve earned credibility with engineering counterparts.
