Generalist Expert
GeneralistRemotePart-timeAlways-open talent poolPosted Sep 15
Mercor keeps this listing open to build a pool of candidates. Applying puts you in the pool; it is not a single fresh opening.
Paid as a fixed feeThis opportunity lists pay as a fixed fee, rather than an hourly rate.
The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for careful human judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and attention become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.
This is a standing listing for generalists who want AI training and evaluation work, not a specific job opening. It stays open whether or not a matching project is running this week.
New projects start on short notice, so instead of posting and pulling a listing each time, we keep one open per field and draw from it when one begins.
What the work looks like
We match generalists in the network to projects like:
- Writing prompts and reference answers on everyday questions that have a right answer, with the context a good response has to account for
- Grading model output on general reasoning: whether the answer is correct, whether it follows the instruction actually given, whether it is complete without padding
- Flagging where a model is confidently wrong, contradicts itself earlier in the same answer, or answers a question that was not asked
