Mercor is training models that predict how well someone will perform on a job better than a human can. Similar to how a human would review a resume, conduct an interview, and decide who to hire, we automate all of those processes with LLMs. Our technology is so effective it’s used by all of the top 5 AI labs.
We crossed a $100M revenue run rate and have averaged 59% month over month growth for the last 6 months, making us the fastest growing company in the world. The team is small and we remain extremely profitable because we can’t hire great people as fast as revenue is growing.

- Develop, implement, and maintain the organization’s information security strategy, policies, and procedures
- Lead threat modeling, risk assessments, and vulnerability management programs
- Monitor security systems, analyze logs, and respond to security incidents and breaches
- Ensure compliance with industry standards (e.g., ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, HIPAA, etc.)
- Collaborate with DevOps, Engineering, Legal, and Product teams to embed security into product lifecycle
- Evaluate and implement security tools, including SIEM, EDR, firewalls, IAM, and DLP solutions
- Lead internal and external audits, and manage third-party security assessments
- Respond to and complete customer security questionnaires and due diligence requests
- Stay up to date with evolving threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory requirements
Compensation
- Base cash comp from $130K-$300K
