Mercor is seeking current or former CTOs or Founders with direct access and authority over their organization’s private codebase to partner on high-impact AI training and evaluation initiatives. You’ll be working with us and the AI company we engage to securely use your code to build realistic evals and, where permitted, train/improve coding models.
What you’ll do
Authorize & enable access : Verify you have the legal authority to grant a limited license for evaluation and (if agreed) training use; coordinate secure repository access (read-only, scoped).
Curate high-value datasets : Select representative modules/services, strip or mask secrets/PII, and define inclusion/exclusion rules.
Design realistic evaluations : Create task suites spanning your stack (e.g., refactors, bug-fixes, feature diffs, tests, performance work), grounded in your production code.
Develop test harnesses : Build/guide test cases and scoring that reflect real engineering constraints (builds, CI, style, coverage, perf).
Analyze outcomes : Review model behavior on your code, highlight failure modes, and propose improvements aligned to your architecture.
Ensure compliance & security : Partner with us on data handling (DPA/MSA/SOW), audit logs, redaction, secret scanning, and access revocation.

Are fluent in one or more of: Python, Java, C/C++, JavaScript, TypeScript (others welcome).
Can collaborate asynchronously with researchers/engineers and move quickly with minimal oversight .
Are an active OSS contributor on Git

Compensation & legal
