Security Engineer, Cloud Infrastructure

Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development. Our vast talent network trains frontier AI models in the same way teachers teach students: by sharing knowledge, experience, and context that can't be captured in code alone. Today, more than 30,000 experts in our network collectively earn over $3 million a day. Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion. We work in-person five days a week in our San Francisco, NYC, or London offices. You'll own cloud and infrastructure security at a company where tenant isolation is a critical enterprise requirement. Mercor's customers - including frontier AI labs - need hard guarantees that their data stays within strict boundaries. This is not a compliance checkbox role. You'll architect multi-account AWS isolation, harden Kubernetes clusters, deploy cloud security posture management, and build the infrastructure that lets Mercor serve enterprise clients who demand the highest security bar. We use AI heavily in our own security work. You should be comfortable building alongside AI code-gen tools, using LLMs to accelerate infrastructure review and policy authoring, and automating away the repetitive work that slows infrastructure security down. We're in-person five days a week at our SF headquarters, with first Fridays remote.
