More about this role
Terac is building the infrastructure for accessing human capability on demand. We are working toward a future where Terac deeply understands:
What every person is capable of, what they want, and where they can thrive
What work our customers need completed and what success requires
What creates a great match between the two
With this understanding, Terac can intelligently allocate human capability to the work where it creates the most value for both our experts and customers. Today, our initial wedge is providing specialized experts for AI training, evaluation, market research, and other expert-driven research.
We place 1,000s of experts per month and pay our experts, on average, over $90/hr. We're a team of 15 based in San Francisco. We've raised $16M from SignalFire, Emergence, Audacious, and SV Angel, and we work with leading AI labs and research companies.
