As an Applied AI Engineer at Mercor, you'll work at the intersection of machine learning research, product engineering, and customer success. You'll be responsible for refining human datasets and transforming them into model-ready signals. You'll also translate real-world insights into product and infrastructure features that meaningfully improve the platform. In addition, you'll run tight feedback loops across the Ops and Engineering teams to ensure clients get the maximum value from Mercor by building tooling and prototypes. What Are We Looking For?

Mercor is training models that predict how well someone will perform on a job better than a human can. Similar to how a human would review a resume, conduct an interview, and decide who to hire, we automate all of those processes with LLMs. Our technology is so effective it's used by all of the top 5 AI labs. We crossed a $100M revenue run rate and have averaged 59% month over month growth for the last 6 months, making us the fastest growing company in the world. The team is small and we remain extremely profitable because we can't hire great people as fast as revenue is growing.
