Payments Engineer

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. Payments is the core infrastructure of our marketplace, not a back-office function. As our AI systems scale to evaluate, place, and compensate millions of workers across geographies, we are investing in making our financial systems deterministic, observable, and resilient because the models that route talent are only as good as the infrastructure that pays them. In a matter of months, we've gone from moving hundreds of thousands of dollars to hundreds of millions across our platform: what used to work at $200K won't work at $200M. The mission of the Payments group at Mercor is to be the financial and commercial backbone of the company.
