From Mercor's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
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 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.
Frontier AI is going physical, and the labs building it are bottlenecked on one thing: high-quality data from the real world. Mercor pairs its operational scale with the specialized engineering that physical-world data demands.
As a Software Engineer on Robotics, you'll sit between Mercor's data systems and our customers' infrastructure. Every frontier lab wants something different: container format, schema, fields, and quality requirements. You'll build infrastructure general enough that a new customer becomes a quick configuration, and you'll work directly with customer engineering teams on bespoke requests, feeding what you learn into scalable platform architecture decisions.
An example might be modifying the segmentation model derived from a customer request for stricter filtering on hands being in frame and building this into a configurable pipeline feature.
Prior robotics experience is not required. This is a backend and data engineering role at its core, developing pipelines, formats, and storage methods. If you've built high-volume data infrastructure anywhere and want depth in robotics data and directly, working directly with the engineers and researchers at the labs and robotics companies building physical AI, this role is for you.
