[Mercor](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) raised a [$750 million Series D valuing Mercor at $20 billion](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) on Nov 10, 2026, and its network now holds [more than five million experts](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) who get paid to train frontier AI models [based on their unique knowledge](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d). The new value is [double the $10bn Mercor reached when it raised $350m in October 2025](https://thenextweb.com/news/mercor-750m-series-d-20bn-valuation). For the experts themselves, the work is paid [by the hour](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts) or [by deliverable](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), the [average contracted rate is $90/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/) on the company's current experts page, and the [latest roles](https://www.mercor.com/experts/) range from a retail trader and a cardiologist to Spanish tutors. For [Metaintro](https://www.metaintro.com) readers who are doctors, lawyers, engineers or other specialists, this guide covers what Mercor is building, what the work involves, what current listings pay and ask for, and the trade-offs that come with contract work.

## What Did Mercor Announce on November 10?

Mercor calls itself [the AI data company helping organizations train and evaluate AI using human expertise](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html).

The investor list is long. The round [included an employee tender along with participation from numerous investors, including Benchmark, Felicis, Fundomo, funds managed by affiliates of Apollo, G Squared, General Catalyst, Glade Brook Capital, NVIDIA, Salesforce, Sapphire Ventures, StepStone Group, XTX Ventures, and Zoom](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d).

Mercor [did not say how much of the $750m went to the tender](https://thenextweb.com/news/mercor-750m-series-d-20bn-valuation).

Felicis [led Mercor's Series C, and also led its $100 million Series B round](https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/27/ai-hiring-startup-mercor-funding.html).

## What Does Mercor Mean by Experts Training AI Based on Their Unique Knowledge?

Mercor describes the work as [remote AI training work grounded in your professional background](https://www.mercor.com/experts/), in which experts are paid to train frontier AI models [based on their unique knowledge](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d). Mercor calls this a [new category of work](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d). The experts covered range from [Doctors. Lawyers. Engineers. Creators. Operators. Hobbyists.](https://www.mercor.com/experts/), and the company's line is that [together, we teach AI what only humans know](https://www.mercor.com/experts/).

> We’ve created a new category of work with more than five million experts in our network getting paid to train frontier AI models based on their unique knowledge, according to [the Mercor Series D post](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d).

Mercor counts [more than 800 distinct occupations, each containing workflows that models have yet to be evaluated against](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) in the United States alone, and argues that professional work depends on two kinds of knowledge that no model inherently has, [how a task gets done and how a specific company does it](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d), down to its own [systems, policies, or quality bar](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d).

In practice, the work often means grading AI answers. Mercor's experts [grade a model’s response using a rubric they’ve created after consulting with a team of other experts in their field](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs), and those graded responses are fed back so the model is trained to aim for good grades. Experts [can earn up to hundreds of dollars per hour teaching AI to do their own jobs](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs), CNN reported in February.

The most popular experts Mercor hires are [in software engineering, followed by finance, medicine and law](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs), Mercor CEO Brendan Foody told CNN in February. Job posts on Mercor range [from journalists to mechanics](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs).

## Why Is Mercor Moving Beyond the Big AI Labs?

The new money is [meant to sell the same service to other companies](https://thenextweb.com/news/mercor-750m-series-d-20bn-valuation), not only the frontier AI labs that have been its main buyers. The funding will [accelerate Mercor's evaluation (evals) and post-training business, giving companies in any industry a way to measure and set standards for how reliably AI agents complete tasks and at what cost](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html).

Foody framed the shift this way in the release: [Every job in the economy will need its own AI agents, and every company will need a way to train and evaluate them on its own work](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html). Foody's Series D post adds that the capabilities Mercor built for frontier labs [are now being adopted by big tech, developers of open models, application layer companies, and the Fortune 500](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d).

Co-founder and co-CEO Adarsh Hiremath explained the gap the company is selling into, saying a model [can score well on a public benchmark and still fail on the systems, policies, and edge cases that define how a specific business runs](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html). Frontier labs [have been the primary buyers of expert-driven training data, which is about to change](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html), said Jai Das, President, Partner and Co-Founder at [the investor Sapphire Ventures](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html).

Mercor also makes a jobs claim of its own. Mercor forecasts that [over the next five years, more jobs will be created and more money will be spent applying existing models to real work than building new ones](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html). That is the company's forecast, not a count of open roles.

## What Do the Latest Mercor Roles Pay?

Pay differs from role to role. The [latest roles on the Mercor experts page](https://www.mercor.com/experts/) include these rates.

- [Cardiologist at $350/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/) and [Nephrologist at $200/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/)
- [General Physician at $150/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/)
- [US Contract Attorney, Transactional, at $100-$120/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/)
- [Project Management Specialists at $70-$110/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/)
- [Sales and Marketing Expert at $60-$70/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/) and [Spanish Tutors at $60-$65/hr](https://www.mercor.com/experts/)

Each of these is one listing at one point in time, not a standard rate for the profession. Mercor's current experts page shows [738k roles created](https://www.mercor.com/experts/), and its current newsroom page shows [$4M paid out to the expert network every day](https://www.mercor.com/newsroom/).

How you are paid depends on the contract. [Hourly contracts are the most common format at Mercor](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), and the hourly rate is [displayed in your offer and onboarding dashboard](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts). Some work instead uses [deliverable-based contracts](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), where pay comes on completing specific work items, [typically used in projects involving Rubrics](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts).

## What Do Two Current Listings Ask For?

Two current Mercor listings, [one in medicine](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl) and [one in law](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), show how specific the entry rules can be.

The [cardiologist listing](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl) is for experts who will [evaluate health AI models in partnership with a leading AI lab](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl). The work is to [read de-identified patient charts and judge AI answers to clinical questions in cardiology](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl). The listing asks for all of the following.

- An [MD or DO from an accredited medical school](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl)
- [Board certified in ABIM Cardiovascular Disease through an ABMS member board or the AOA](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl)
- An [active, unrestricted US medical license](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl), with [residency complete, plus fellowship where your specialty requires one](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl)
- [Currently practicing and seeing patients in the US, with at least 1 year of independent practice after training](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl), with [3+ years of post-training experience strongly preferred](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl)
- [Clear written communication and close attention to detail](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl)

The [US transactional attorney listing](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj) is an [evergreen talent pool](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), so applicants join a standing bench and are contacted when fitting work comes up. Typical work includes comparing pairs of AI responses to transactional tasks such as [contract drafting, redlines, issues lists, due diligence summaries and deal analyses](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj) and deciding which is stronger, plus [creating realistic transactional tasks and reference answers](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj). It asks applicants to be [admitted to practice in at least one US state (active bar membership)](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), to have [3+ years of US transactional practice, such as M&A, finance, capital markets, commercial contracts or corporate matters](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), to [hold a J.D. from an ABA-accredited law school](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), and to [write clearly and pay close attention to detail](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj).

Both listings carry the same contract terms. The expert is [engaged as an independent contractor](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl), projects [can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj), and the company is [unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl).

## How Do You Apply, and How Does Payment Work?

Applicants [upload your resume, complete the required assessments, and verify your work authorization](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/apply), though [the procedures may differ depending on the role](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/apply), and the AI interview needs [Google Chrome on a desktop](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/apply) with camera and microphone permissions granted. The cardiologist role adds a [25-minute conversational interview on your background, experience and motivations](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl), plus [credential verification of license status, board certification, training and current practice setting](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl).

Treat the assessments carefully. [Most assessments permit a single submission only](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/assessments), but [many assessments are reused across listings](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/assessments), and [completing one can qualify you for several opportunities](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/assessments).

Hourly work is tracked with the [Insightful desktop application](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), and [Insightful may take periodic screenshots to confirm you are working](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/time-tracking-pay). Hours logged from [Saturday 00:00 IST to Friday 23:59 IST are locked, verified, and paid the following Wednesday](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), and [first payouts are subject to a 7-day hold by Stripe](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts). Hourly pay is [provided irrespective of the quality of work](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts), though weak output [may influence eligibility for future opportunities](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts).

## Which Countries Can Mercor Pay Experts In?

Location decides whether you can work at all. Payouts [use Stripe Connect](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries), and [countries marked Wise are paid through Wise instead](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries), with Brazil, Nepal, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates marked Wise on the [supported countries list](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries).

The supported list includes India, Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, among many others on [the payment countries page](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries). Kenya, China and Hong Kong appear on the unsupported list, and Mercor [cannot onboard experts or issue contracts in any of these locations, or in any location that does not appear on this page](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries).

Some listings narrow this further. The attorney role, for example, lists its [location requirements](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj) as the United States only.

## What Are the Trade-Offs for Experts?

One trade-off is security of income. Under a deliverable-based contract, [payment is only issued upon successful completion](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts) and there is [no minimum hourly guarantee](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts). A project can also move between hourly and task pay, and a change reaches you as a [contract amendment](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts) to accept or reject. If you reject it or miss the deadline, [your current terms may stay in place, the contract may be paused, or it may end](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts). Mercor promises that [completed work is never repriced](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/contracts).

Data safety is a second issue. In late March 2026, Mercor was hit by [a supply chain attack involving LiteLLM, a commonly used open-source tool](https://www.mercor.com/blog/update-on-mercor-security-incident/). By its June 25 update, Mercor's investigation had found that of its [nearly five million experts, only a very limited subset had sensitive information affected](https://www.mercor.com/blog/update-on-mercor-security-incident/), and that notifications [would include an offer of TransUnion identity protection services](https://www.mercor.com/blog/update-on-mercor-security-incident/). The breach led [Meta to freeze its AI data work with the company](https://thenextweb.com/news/mercor-750m-series-d-20bn-valuation), The Next Web reported.

The third trade-off is what the work feeds. Some say Mercor is [replacing stable full-time careers with gig work that will contribute to AI taking human jobs](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs), as CNN put it. Dr. Alice Chiao, who has worked in [both primary and emergency medicine](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs) and trains AI models with Mercor, sees it differently.

> I don’t want to see it as AI taking over our jobs. I want to see it as AI taking over the aspects of our jobs that prevent us from being good doctors, good healers and good listeners, Dr. Alice Chiao said in February, according to [the CNN Business feature](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs).

## Is Mercor Also Hiring Staff of Its Own?

Yes, Mercor points job seekers to its careers page for [open positions and career opportunities](https://finance.yahoo.com/technology/ai/articles/mercor-raises-750-million-series-131500640.html). Mercor's current newsroom page shows [400+ employees across San Francisco, New York, and London](https://www.mercor.com/newsroom/), and it [opened offices in New York and London](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) this year.

Mercor also [acquired Deeptune earlier this year](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d). It [unveiled a plan on Jul 9, 2026 to acquire](https://www.mercor.com/blog/mercor-to-acquire-deeptune/) the company, which Mercor calls a leading company building environments for reinforcement learning, and whose team [recreated hundreds of enterprise applications, from spreadsheets to Salesforce](https://www.mercor.com/blog/mercor-to-acquire-deeptune/). [Andreessen Horowitz led Deeptune's $43 million Series A](https://www.mercor.com/blog/mercor-to-acquire-deeptune/), and Deeptune's team is joining Mercor [as Mercor expands its team in NYC](https://www.mercor.com/blog/mercor-to-acquire-deeptune/).

Inside its own company, Mercor already spends [3x as much on inference as on employee salaries](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d), a ratio Foody tied to [something closer to double-digit GDP growth over the next five years](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d) if it holds across the economy.

## What This Means for Experts and Job Seekers, and What Should You Do Next?

Our take is that the Series D makes expert AI training a real income option for skilled professionals, but not a replacement for a career. Mercor is now selling the service to [enterprises across the economy](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d), so the buyers are no longer only AI labs, and Mercor builds custom evals for each one based on [the company’s actual workflows](https://mercor.com/blog/series-d). That favors people who know one job deeply. Mercor is [not the only company in this space](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/17/business/ai-experts-training-jobs), and [AfterQuery, which pays experts to write AI training data](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/afterquery-3-2-billion-expert-ai-training-data-work), is part of the same wider shift of [professionals training AI and getting paid to do it](https://www.metaintro.com/blog/mercor-ai-training-white-collar-jobs-skills-2026). The catch is that both listings are [independent contractor roles](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl) that name no benefits, and projects [can be concluded early](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj).

- **Lead with your license or credential.** Listings such as [the cardiologist role](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWtwvCp5G7Swt0JDu7wl) screen on board certification and current practice, so have proof ready before you apply.
- **Prepare for the first assessment.** Because [most assessments permit a single submission only](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/how-to/assessments), read every instruction before you begin.
- **Check the country page first.** If your location is not on [the supported countries list](https://talent.docs.mercor.com/policies/supported-countries), Mercor cannot onboard you.
- **Keep your main job.** Treat this as side income, since projects [can be extended, shortened, or concluded early](https://work.mercor.com/jobs/list_AAABoWoHm--lhpCWq05MdZXj).
