Merrick Bank is a Utah-based FDIC-insured lender focused on non-prime credit products, running on a Python + SQL + Snowflake stack paired with enterprise compliance tooling (ServiceNow, Power BI). The hiring pattern is heavily skewed toward compliance, legal, and finance roles — 16 of 24 open positions — while projects cluster around compliance frameworks, risk assessment, and regulatory validation (FDICIA/SOX), reflecting the operational reality of a bank managing credit-building products under active regulatory scrutiny.

A wholly owned subsidiary of CardWorks, Inc., the bank specializes in credit-building products for underserved consumers, combining non-prime lending with data-driven underwriting and compliance infrastructure. The technology backbone combines analytics (Snowflake, Power BI, Tableau) with workflow automation (ServiceNow, Power Automate) and traditional banking systems. Operations span credit origination, portfolio management, and regulatory reporting across a 201–500-person organization.
Python, SQL, Snowflake for data; Power BI and Tableau for analytics; ServiceNow for compliance and workflow; SharePoint and Power Automate for automation; Google Analytics and Adobe Analytics for digital measurement.
