资深视觉设计师 - 设计系统
Staff Visual Designer - Design Systems
1954年，建筑师Eero Saarinen为印第安纳州哥伦布市的Irwin Union设计了一家极具现代感的银行分行。玻璃墙、没有私人办公室、开放式的平面布局，体现了金融行业前所未有的透明度。这栋建筑被树木环绕，由Herman Miller提供家具，地面铺着乡村风格的砖块。如今，这个地方已成为一个会议中心，而这种以设计为导向的银行理念几乎已消失殆尽。
Mercury认为，现代金融中这种对设计的用心和工艺已经遗失，我们正在打造一个重新带回这种理念的品牌。我们是一家金融科技公司，致力于打造使用起来令人惊艳的产品。我们通过将银行业务从一种令人沮丧的体验转变为实现人们和企业目标的催化剂，帮助他们更好地管理资金。
我们的设计系统团队为每个产品设计师、每个UI界面以及每个富有表现力的产品时刻奠定了视觉基础，从基础的字体和颜色，到高度富有表现力的品牌与产品结合的瞬间，让Mercury显得更加用心。
我们正在寻找一位资深视觉设计师，来提升Mercury设计系统和产品体验的工艺水平。这是一个高级个人贡献者角色，要求能够看到整个UI系统，并且知道如何在大规模上推动其发展。
设计基础是一个全新的团队，负责设计系统、产品中的品牌以及帮助任何人进行构建的AI工具。这意味着这个职位有真正的影响力去定义它：支持一个渴望成长的高协作团队，并有一个清晰的蓝图来设定未来愿景。
在这个职位上，你将：
- 重新定义并推出对Mercury设计语言的大规模改进（如字体、颜色和图标），这些改进能在每个产品界面上优雅地扩展。
- 与品牌和其他工艺负责人合作，将富有表现力的瞬间带入产品，并确定品牌与产品视觉语言如何协同工作。
- 设定设计部门的工艺标准：定义什么是优秀的表现，并建立系统、指南和参考文档，使优秀成为可重复的实践。
- 积极指导产品设计师提升他们的工艺水平，提供直接反馈，提高个人作品和设计系统本身的品质标准。
- 与设计系统设计师和工程师合作，确保视觉决策能干净利落地转化为可扩展、可维护的组件。
- 代表设计团队

In 1954, architect Eero Saarinen designed a radically modern bank branch for Irwin Union in Columbus, Indiana. With glass walls, no private offices, and a floor plan that invited openness, it embodied a new kind of transparency in finance. The building was surrounded by trees, furnished by Herman Miller, and featured rustic brick flooring. Today, that space is a conference center, and that spirit of design-forward thinking in banking feels all but extinct.
Mercury believes that level of care and craft in design has been lost in modern finance and we’re building a brand that brings it back. We're a financial technology company building products that feel extraordinary to use. We help people and businesses accomplish more with their money by turning banking* from a frustration into a catalyst for their ambitions.
Our Design Systems team sets the visual foundation that every product designer, every UI surface, and every expressive product moment builds on, from the foundations like type and color, to highly expressive brand-in-product moments that make Mercury feel considered.
We’re looking for a Staff Visual Designer to raise the ceiling on craft across Mercury’s design system and product experience. This is a senior individual contributor role for someone who can see the whole UI system and knows how to evolve it at scale.
Design Foundations is a brand-new team at Mercury, responsible for design systems, brand in product, and AI tools to help anyone build. This means this role has real agency to define it: supporting a highly collaborative team that’s hungry to grow its craft, and a clean slate for setting the vision forward.
In this role, you’ll:
- Redefine and ship large, foundational improvements to Mercury’s design language (things like type, color, and iconography) that scale beautifully across every product surface.
- Partner with Brand and other craft leaders to bring expressive moments into the product and set direction for how brand and product visual language work together.
- Set the craft bar for the design org: define what excellent looks like, and build the systems, guidelines, and references that make it repeatable.
- Actively coach product designers on their craft, giving direct feedback that raises the quality bar across both individual work and the design system itself.
- Partner with design systems designers and engineers to make sure visual decisions translate cleanly into scalable, maintainable components.
- Represent design systems and visual craft in conversations with Brand, Engineering, and design leadership.
What you’ll bring:
- 10+ years of experience in visual design, with deep expertise in typography, color systems, and iconography at a product or brand scale.
- A portfolio that shows range: foundational systems work as well as high-craft, expressive visual design.
- Not just taste, but conviction and language to articulate what makes something successful.
- A track record of coaching or mentoring other designers, with a clear point of view on what strong craft looks like and how to teach it.
- Systems thinking, you’re comfortable balancing expressive visual design with the pragmatic needs of a scalable design system for a data rich product.
- Strong stakeholder management, comfortable winning buy-in from executives and cross-functional leaders on high-visibility work, backed by conviction.
- Strong communication and presence: able to set direction, build alignment, and defend opinionated design decisions with both designers and engineers.
- Proficient in design tools and front-end prototyping with React; comfortable working closely with engineers on how visual systems get built and maintained in code. Affinity for AI-assisted prototyping. Motion design skills are a plus.
