Job description

About the Role

This opportunity is with Mercor, a company that connects strong creative and technical professionals with top AI research labs. The business is based in San Francisco and is backed by investors such as Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.

Position Overview

You will work as a Generalist focused on English and Telugu. This is a remote contract role with compensation in the range of $15 to $20 per hour.

Key Responsibilities

  • Verify information against reliable public sources and external tools to support fact-checking.
  • Create high-quality human evaluation data by spotting strong points, improvement areas, and factual errors in responses.
  • Review outputs for reasoning quality, clarity, tone, and completeness.
  • Check that model responses follow expected conversational standards and system instructions.
  • Work on your own schedule in an asynchronous setup while meeting deadlines and helping improve AI model performance.

Required Qualifications

Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree, be native Telugu speakers, and have substantial hands-on experience with large language models. Strong English writing ability, close attention to detail, and a background in work that requires structured analytical thinking are also essential.

Preferred Background

Extra value will be given to candidates who have experience with RLHF, model evaluation, or data annotation. Experience producing or editing polished written content, as well as making careful comparisons between multiple outputs and nuanced quality judgments, will also be helpful.

Application Process

The application is expected to take about 20 to 30 minutes. The steps include uploading a resume, completing an AI interview based on the resume, and submitting the form.

Support Information

For more information about the interview process and platform details, a help resource is available through Mercor's support documentation. If assistance is needed, candidates may contact support via email.

Additional Notes

Applications are reviewed every day by the hiring team, so candidates should complete both the AI interview and the application steps to be considered.
