Member of Technical Staff, Deeptune

About Mercor Mercor's mission is to organize human intelligence to power the AI economy. We're a leading AI data company, building the layer between human expertise and frontier models. Millions of domain experts on the platform are paid over $4 million per day to train frontier AI models. Mercor's APEX benchmark family measures AI's real-world impact on professional work. Mercor Enterprise brings this same infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies: helping companies capture how their best people actually work, translating that expertise directly back into agents.

Mercor Enterprise brings this same infrastructure to Fortune 500 companies: helping companies capture how their best people actually work, translating that expertise directly back into agents. 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. About Deeptune Deeptune is an RL environments lab within Mercor that builds training gyms for AI agents: high-fidelity simulations where AI learns to perform real-world tasks through reinforcement learning. We work with the leading AI labs to help them train the next generation of agentic models, and our environments have already contributed to recent breakthroughs in computer use, code generation, and multi-step task completion. About You You're a strong engineer across backend and infrastructure (Python, Go, TypeScript, etc.) with a deep interest in agentic AI. We care more about what you've done, not how long you've been doing it. You've been a founding engineer, founded your own company, or had a major impact at a top-tier company, and you're ready to join an early-stage team. You are motivated by ownership, impact, and building frontier tech. Your work is a craft you want to master. You thrive in ambiguity and love hard problems. You appreciate diverse perspectives and uncommon ideas. You are excited about building in-person, 5 days a week, from our office in One World Trade You'll also build direct partnerships with leading AI labs and enterprises, and contribute hands-on to improving frontier model quality through data, evaluation, and systems - work that sits squarely in the areas the field agrees matter most right now: RL with verifiable rewards, rubric-based reward modeling for subjective and agentic domains, and the pipelines that turn raw human demonstrations into training-ready environments. This role requires high ownership and abstraction: setting direction, driving outcomes, and staying hands-on while leading. What We're Looking For 4 - 10 years in engineering; 2-3+ years experience with Strong background in building scalable systems Comfort with core ML/LLM concepts - post training, evaluation metrics, reward modeling - deep enough to partner with researchers, not just consume their output Ability to lead in ambiguous, fast-moving environments with sound technical judgment Proven ability to coach engineers and drive execution Strong ownership mindset with pragmatic decision-making Benefits
