## Job description

### **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 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 the Role**

We’re looking for an Analytics Engineer to build the data infrastructure, analytics, and automations that power decision-making and operations across Mercor.

This is a high-ownership role where you’ll work directly with business leaders to identify problems, define roadmaps, and deliver solutions end-to-end. Rather than waiting for stakeholder requests, you’ll proactively uncover bottlenecks and opportunities, often before others recognize them.

We’re looking for someone with exceptional technical ability, strong business judgment, and a bias for action. You should be a fast learner who leverages AI tools to dramatically increase your productivity and thrives in a high-intensity environment.

#### **What You’ll Do**

- **Drive your own roadmap:** Partner directly with stakeholders, proactively identify high-impact problems, and independently prioritize and execute solutions.
- **Build scalable data infrastructure:** Develop reliable data pipelines, models, and metrics using SQL, dbt, and Snowflake.
- **Own analytics end-to-end:** Translate ambiguous business problems into production-ready data models, dashboards, and analytical tools.
- **Automate business workflows:** Identify operational bottlenecks and build automations that eliminate manual work and improve efficiency.
- **Leverage AI to multiply output:** Use AI coding agents and emerging tools to accelerate development and continuously improve how analytics engineering gets done.

#### **What We’re Looking For**

- **8+ years of experience** in Analytics Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, or a related technical role.
- **Strong technical fundamentals:** Expert SQL, data modeling, Python, dbt, cloud data warehouses, and BI tools (e.g., Hex, Looker).
- **Exceptional autonomy:** Proven ability to independently identify problems, define roadmaps, and deliver high-impact projects with minimal direction.
- **Strong business judgment and communication:** Able to work directly with senior stakeholders, understand business priorities, and translate ambiguity into actionable solutions.
- **Rapid learning and AI fluency:** Quickly master unfamiliar domains and technologies, and leverage AI tools to dramatically increase productivity.
- **Proven track record of execution:** Consistently deliver high-quality work at exceptional speed, take ownership beyond your formal responsibilities, and thrive in demanding, fast-moving environments.

#### **Work Environment**

Mercor operates at an exceptionally fast pace. This role is based in our San Francisco office five days per week, and our teams commonly work 9 AM–9 PM. We’re looking for people who are energized by this level of commitment, autonomy, and execution.

#### **Compensation & Benefits**

Mercor offers competitive compensation, meaningful equity, and comprehensive benefits.

- Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
- Up to $15k Relocation bonus
- $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
