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 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.

  • Develop and maintain a distinctive, modern visual language
  • Partner closely with marketing, product, recruiting, and leadership to bring Mercor’s story to life across channels
  • Help build a scalable brand system, templates, and guidelines that make the company look consistently excellent as we grow

  • Bonus: Experience designing for AI, marketplaces, recruiting, fintech, or other complex technical products
At Mercor, we recognize that exceptional ability comes in all forms, a core philosophy on which we built our platform. Because of this, we welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds with unique experiences and transferable skill sets, even if they don’t meet all the preferred qualifications listed above.
