About Mercor
Mercor partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to train frontier models using human expertise. We provide these labs with careful human judgment that they cannot generate on their own—serving as the rubric against which frontier AI is graded.
Rather than posting and pulling listings for every new initiative, we maintain a standing talent pool for generalists. When projects start on short notice, we draw directly from this pool.
What the Work Looks Like
As a Generalist Expert, your work will directly shape the next generation of AI systems. Typical projects include:
- Prompt & Answer Engineering: Writing high-quality prompts and reference answers for everyday questions that have definitive correct answers, incorporating all necessary contextual nuances.
- Model Grading & Evaluation: Rigorously evaluating model outputs on general reasoning—checking for accuracy, strict adherence to instructions, and completeness without unnecessary padding.
- Error Detection & Analysis: Identifying and flagging instances where models are confidently wrong, contradict themselves within an answer, or answer questions that were not actually asked.
What We're Looking For
- Sharp Critical Thinking: Careful reading skills and sound judgment, backed by a professional or academic background in any field.
- Clear Communication: Excellent written communication skills, as the role heavily involves explaining your reasoning clearly.
- Adaptability: Comfort with ambiguous tasks and a proactive willingness to flag unclear instructions.
- Generalist Profile: Ideal for individuals whose expertise does not fit neatly into a single specialist network, or who work comfortably across multiple disciplines.
Note: No specific degree or credential is required. What matters most is your ability to read carefully and articulate precisely why an answer is correct or incorrect. Key Role Details & Requirements
- Employment Type: Independent Contractor (fully remote, versatile schedule).
- Workplace Boundaries: Your work will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.
- Important Constraint: We are currently unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates.
