Director of Data
In the 1970s, engineer Edgar Codd proposed a radical idea: instead of the hierarchical databases his employer IBM used and sold, he proposed the concept of “relational databases” to manage large datasets. His ideas, codified with a set of rules called Codd's 12 rules, fundamentally transformed how we store, retrieve, manipulate, and manage data, enabling advancements across various sectors of society and industry.
We’re looking for a Director of Data who can help us use our relational databases to drive Mercury’s success.

New hire offers are made based on a candidate’s experience, expertise, geographic location, and internal pay equity relative to peers.
