Software Engineer, Robotics Data

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

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.

You'll build the data backbone of physical AI: the pipelines that take raw multi-sensor capture from the field (video, depth, inertial, audio, and more) and turn it into validated, privacy-safe, delivery-ready datasets for frontier labs.

Ingest, segmentation, pre-labeling, automated QC, and packaging, at petabyte scale across thousands of concurrent collectors.

What You'll Do

Build the end-to-end sensor data pipeline: ingest from capture devices in the field, through segmentation, pre-labeling, QC, and packaged delivery to customers Design automated QC that validates recordings at scale: timing and sync integrity, calibration health, sensor continuity, coverage against requirements Establish dataset schemas, versioning, provenance, and versionin
