About the role

Mercor is seeking input from hands-on security professionals for a short, paid research engagement. You will join two to three one-hour video conversations over roughly four weeks, with sessions scheduled around your availability. Compensation is hourly, and participation requires discussing patterns rather than confidential incidents. Remote, US-based engagement with flexibility; no prep work is required and the final rate will be confirmed during the official process.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
