We’re building global payouts, stablecoin banking, and yield infrastructure for the companies supplying data to frontier AI labs. As demand for high-quality data grows, millions of contributors around the world are generating, labeling, validating, and improving the datasets that power modern AI systems. Yet the financial infrastructure behind these platforms remains slow, fragmented, and expensive. Archer enables data marketplaces, AI labor platforms, and reinforcement learning environment providers to onboard workers globally, pay contributors instantly, and earn yield on idle balances. Today, companies use Archer to manage contributor earnings, global payouts, and treasury operations across hundreds of countries and payment corridors. We believe the next generation of AI companies will need purpose-built financial infrastructure. Just as cloud providers became the backbone of software, Archer is building the financial layer for the global workforce powering artificial intelligence. ## About the role Headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, Archer is a leader in the next-gen aerospace sector building an end-to-end advanced air mobility platform that delivers air taxis, unmanned aircraft systems (“UAS”), aviation-related physical artificial intelligence (“AI”) solutions, and other technologies to customers worldwide across the commercial aerospace and defense sectors.
