Mercor

Mercor operates at the intersection of labour markets and AI research. The company partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to supply the human intelligence required for AI development, drawing on a network of domain experts who train frontier models by sharing knowledge, experience and context. Its main product, the Mercor Talent Network, spans technical domains including artificial intelligence, machine learning, AI model training and labour marketplaces.

The network has reached considerable scale: more than 30,000 experts participate, and collectively earn over $1.5 million per day. Mercor raised a Series C round at a $10 billion valuation and reports that it is profitable. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, where it has opened a new office.

Roles are based in-person five days a week at the San Francisco headquarters, rather than remote. The team works alongside researchers, operators and AI companies, and describes its purpose as creating a new category of work in which professional expertise powers advances in AI.
