Mercor is building a network of experienced management consultants for potential future projects with leading AI research organizations. These projects may focus on evaluating how effectively AI systems perform real-world consulting work. There is no immediate project opening, but qualified applicants may be contacted as relevant opportunities become available.
Mercor is seeking experimental scientists and engineers across inorganic synthesis, characterization, superconductors, and semiconductors (including advanced packaging) to support a frontier AI research lab building models for materials science and the physical sciences. This is hands-on, expert-level work: you’ll apply deep, specialized knowledge to generate, structure, and evaluate the scientific data these models learn from — and your input will directly shape how advanced models reason about materials, devices, and processes. Contribute domain expertise across synthesis, characterization,
We’re looking for engineers who have shipped production search systems (especially agentic ones now that we’re in the era of LLMs and agents) and are thinking hard about the requirements and optimizations of those systems. Owned relevance or retrieval on a system real users depended on. Decided how to quantify impact and improvements with these systems.
We’re looking for highly accomplished Cybersecurity Research Experts to help evaluate cutting-edge AI systems in advanced security reasoning, vulnerability analysis, exploit development, and secure software engineering. This project is ideal for practitioners with a strong track record in offensive security research and publicly recognised technical contributions. Evaluate AI-generated analyses of complex cybersecurity scenarios, exploits, and vulnerability reports.
Mercor is seeking experts in Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) and thin-film processes to support a frontier AI research lab building models for semiconductors and the physical sciences. This is hands-on, expert-level work: you’ll apply deep, specialized knowledge to generate, structure, and evaluate the scientific data these models learn from — and your input will directly shape how advanced models reason about deposition, materials, and semiconductor processes. Contribute domain expertise across ALD process development, precursor chemistry, and thin-film characterization to build high-quality tr
We’re looking for experienced machine learning researchers with hands-on experience training and improving deep learning models end-to-end, across vision and language. You’ll work on well-scoped empirical open-ended ML research problems. Train image classifiers and generative image models from scratch, and fine-tune open-weight language models.
