French-Canadian Professional Voice Actor

## About the Role

Mercor is hiring **residency-trained physicians** across specialties for non-clinical work developing and evaluating clinical AI systems. You will apply your clinical judgment to grading-criteria development, dialogue evaluation, and structured annotation work that determines how these systems are measured.

This is a **non-clinical role** — no direct patient care, and no responsibility for live diagnosis.

**This is a shared expert pool.** After onboarding you may be matched to any of several concurrent clinical workstreams based on your specialty, availability, and interest. You are not committing to a single project, and you may move between streams as priorities shift.

## What you may work on

Work varies by workstream and may include:

- **Grading criteria development** — taking a clinical question and breaking the ideal answer into discrete, checkable criteria, so a model response can be graded consistently rather than impressionistically.
    
- **Clinical dialogue evaluation** — reviewing multi-turn clinical conversations and judging them for accuracy, safety, completeness, appropriate hedging, and whether escalation advice was correct.
    
- **Clinical reasoning annotation** — recording how you would work through a case, including the differential you considered and rejected, not only the conclusion.
    
- **Output review** — flagging hallucinated findings, dangerous omissions, unsupported certainty, and advice that is technically correct but clinically unsafe.
    
- **Guideline authoring** — defining edge cases and standards of care for your specialty so annotation stays consistent across a large group of clinicians.
    
- **Difficult-case writing** — constructing clinical questions that probe the limits of current model reasoning.
    

Task length varies by stream, from roughly 45 minutes for a dialogue evaluation up to an hour or more for grading-criteria authoring. You will get a specific throughput target for whichever stream you are matched to.

## Required qualifications

- **MD or DO** with a **completed residency** in any specialty
    
- **Active, unrestricted medical license** in your country of practice
    
- **2+ years post-residency** clinical experience, practising or previously practising
    
- Comfort writing structured clinical rationale that a non-specialist reviewer can follow
    
- Written and spoken English fluency
    
- **Minimum 20 hours per week**, with the ability to concentrate hours when a stream is time-boxed
    

## Preferred qualifications

- Board certification in your specialty
    
- **U.S. licensure**, and familiarity with U.S. standards of care and clinical guidelines
    
- Primary care, internal medicine, emergency medicine, or hospitalist background, where breadth of presentation matters most
    
- Prior clinical annotation, AI evaluation, medical education, or question-writing experience
    
- Grading-criteria design, resident assessment, or clinical guideline development experience
    
- Published research or sustained technical writing (please link a sample)
    

## Why this work

Most clinical AI failures are not exotic — they are ordinary questions answered with misplaced confidence. Catching that requires someone who has actually carried clinical responsibility. The standard these systems get held to is written by physicians, and here you would be writing it.

General Clinician (MD/DO) — Ajax

**Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team to be at the core of the AI revolution, where your expertise fuels the development of the most advanced Large Language Models.**

# 1\. Overview

Join a leading AI lab's cutting-edge GenAI team and help build foundational AI models from the ground up. We're seeking MLOps Engineers with hands-on experience in large language model infrastructure across any of four areas: GPU kernel programming, performance profiling and trace analysis, debugging accelerated and distributed workloads, and high-throughput inference serving. This role involves AI model training and evaluation work, including writing and assessing MLOps and ML systems tasks and solutions to generate high-quality training data for frontier AI systems.

This is a W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce. **This is a 40-hour full-time engagement, with no conflicts/no other engagements.**

# 2\. Key Responsibilities

- Design challenging, domain-relevant tasks across four areas, GPU kernels, performance profiling, debugging, and inference serving, and write accurate, well-structured solutions to them.
    
- Guide research and engineering teams to close knowledge gaps and improve AI model performance on ML systems, training infrastructure, and framework-level topics.
    
- Evaluate MLOps and ML systems tasks and solutions, and provide clear, written technical feedback that stands up to reviewer scrutiny.
    
- Develop guidelines and detailed rubrics or evaluation frameworks covering kernel-level optimization, profiler output interpretation, distributed systems reasoning, and serving throughput and latency trade-offs.
    
- Collaborate with other subject matter experts to keep training data consistent and accurate.
    

# 3\. Core Qualifications

- 2+ years of hands-on professional experience in ML systems, ML infrastructure, model serving, or GPU and accelerator performance engineering. This is a hands-on systems role rather than an applied modelling or data science one.
    
- Practical experience in at least one of the following, with more than one a strong plus: writing or optimizing custom GPU kernels (CUDA, Triton, Pallas); performance profiling and trace analysis (Kineto, torch.profiler, Nsight, XLA or JAX profiler); debugging distributed or accelerator-bound workloads; serving large language models at scale (vLLM, SGLang, TensorRT-LLM, Ray Serve, KV cache, paged attention, continuous batching).
    
- Working production experience with JAX and/or PyTorch. Framework-level depth is a strong plus: custom operators, distributed training (FSDP, DDP, DeepSpeed, Megatron), or compiler and graph-level work.
    
- Familiarity with modern accelerators such as A100, H100, B200 or TPU, and the ability to reason about throughput, latency and memory trade-offs.
    
- Demonstrable career progression.
    
- Ability to engage reliably for at least 40 hours/week during weekdays.
    
- Strong written communication skills and the ability to explain complex technical decisions clearly.

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
    

Most contracts in this field have paid $40 to $70 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

**What we're looking for**

- Careful reading and sound judgment, from a professional or academic background in any field
    
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
    
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
    

**Who this is for**

This pool is for people whose work does not fit neatly into one of our specialist networks, or who work across several of them. If you looked through our other listings and none of them quite described you, this is the one.

No particular credential is required. What matters is that you read carefully and can say precisely why an answer is wrong.

**How it works**

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.

We verify your background and add you to the generalist pool.

When a project needs general reasoning work, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

**What to expect**

This listing does not accept or reject candidates, so you will not get a decision on it. We reach out when a project matches your background. Depending on what our clients are running, that can be within a week or several months.

Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.

Finishing the domain expert interview and joining every network you qualify for both improve your odds of being matched. You only need to sign up once to be eligible across all of them.

Biotechnology Expert

The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for biology judgment they can't generate on their own. Your standards and expertise become the rubric that frontier AI is graded against.

This is a standing listing for biologists 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 biologists in the network to projects like:

- Writing a research problem from your own work, with the system, the data, and the controls, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
    
- Grading model-written experimental designs and interpretations: whether the controls rule out what they claim to, whether the statistics suit the design, whether the conclusion follows from the figure
    
- Flagging where a model gives a textbook-correct answer that would not survive at the bench, given the organism, the limits of the assay, or what the reagents can actually show
    

Past rates have run $70 to $105 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

**What we're looking for**

- A graduate degree in biology or a related life science, with research experience
    
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
    
- Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
    

Where you trained matters less than whether you designed and ran the experiments yourself, recently enough to explain the calls you made.

**How it works**

Apply here with your resume and confirm where you work from, then take a short AI interview, about 20 minutes total.

We verify your background and add you to the biology pool.

When a project needs biology expertise, we invite matching people from the pool to that specific listing. It names the rate, the hours, and the client, and any hiring decision is made there.

This is a standing listing for machine learning practitioners 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 machine learning practitioners in the network to projects like:

- Writing a modeling problem from a system you actually shipped, with the data, the objective, and the constraint, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
    
- Grading model-written training and evaluation code: whether the loss matches the objective, whether the eval set leaks, whether the ablation supports the conclusion drawn from it
    
- Flagging where a model proposes an approach that would train cleanly and still fail in production, given distribution shift, label noise, or a metric that rewards the wrong behaviour
    

Comparable machine learning projects have posted at $70 to $120 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

**What we're looking for**

- Professional experience training, evaluating, or deploying machine learning systems
    
- Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning

**What the work looks like**

We match asset and wealth managers in the network to projects like:

- Writing an investment case or a client scenario from your own mandate or book, with the thesis, the constraints, and the risk budget, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
- Grading model-built portfolio construction, allocation, and tax strategy: whether the factor exposures are intended, whether the benchmark is the right one, whether the withdrawal sequencing holds, whether the attribution actually explains the return
- Flagging where a model's recommendation is defensible on paper and would breach a real mandate or fail a real client, given liquidity, concentration limits, drawdown tolerance, or time horizon

Comparable investment management projects have posted at $100 to $130 an hour, set per project by scope and depth.

- Writing a clinical vignette from your own practice, with the presentation, labs, and imaging, plus the attending-level reference answer a model gets graded against
    
- Grading model output on diagnostic reasoning: whether the differential is ordered sensibly, whether it anchors, whether the proposed workup is guideline-concordant
    
- Flagging where a recommendation is defensible in a textbook but wrong for the patient in front of you, given comorbidities, contraindications, or what the patient can access
    

**What we're looking for**

- An M.D. or D.O. with board certification and a current, active, unrestricted license
    
- Active clinical practice, or recent enough that you can still explain the reasoning behind a call

Investment Banking Expert

We're working with a leading AI research lab to build rigorous evaluations of how well AI reads real radiology studies, and we need practicing radiologists to define what "correct" actually looks like. AI can describe an image fluently; whether it gets the clinically load-bearing call right — the measurement by the correct convention, the interval change against a prior, the structured category in a borderline case — is where expert judgment is scarce and where you come in.

This is not image labeling. It's the reasoning you already do every day, captured as a reference standard that trains and tests frontier models.

**What you'd do**

\- Read de-identified studies (CT, MR, radiography, ultrasound, PET/CT, mammography, and more) and write the reference report or the specific finding.

\- Apply the structured systems and measurement conventions you use in practice (RECIST, Lung-RADS, BI-RADS, CAD-RADS, ASPECTS, and others)

\- Review AI-drafted reads and mark what's inaccurate, unsupported, or unsafe.

\- Contribute the kinds of cases that stump a strong model.

**Who we're looking for**

\- Board-certified or board-eligible radiologists (ABR, FRCR, EDiR, or international equivalent). Residents and fellows in later training may be considered.

\- Any diagnostic sub-specialty: neuro, chest, abdominal, MSK, breast, cardiac, nuclear medicine, paediatric, and others.

\- Currently reading studies, or recently in active practice.

Radiology Expert

We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, documents and site photos, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: an egress analysis, a correction list, a plan review decision. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.

What you would be building
Tasks drawn from real fire and life safety review work, including: egress and life safety plan check, fire access plan review, fire alarm review from both the design engineer and the fire marshal seat, sprinkler review from the engineer, fire marshal and property insurer seats, hazardous materials control area review, fire occupancy video inspection, firestop penetration photo verification, and fire system inspection, testing and maintenance report review.

Who we are looking for
You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that reviews fire and life safety design: fire marshal or fire prevention plan reviewer, fire protection engineer, or sprinkler and fire alarm designer-reviewer.
Fire marshal appointment, NICET Level III or higher, or PE in fire protection.
3 or more years in the seat, US based, working to IBC, IFC and NFPA standards. We prefer 8 or more years.
You can mark up plan sets and read hydraulic calculations and device layouts.

What makes someone excellent here
The hard part is not citing the standard, it is knowing which occupant load, travel distance or coverage gap gets waved through. Standouts have usually trained junior inspectors or reviewers, written department correction language or an SOP, done acceptance testing as well as plan review, or worked across several NFPA editions and can say what changed and when it applies.

Probably not a fit
Firefighters and fire officers without plan review or inspection responsibility, sprinkler installers without design or review work, alarm technicians who service rather than design systems, and general safety or OSHA specialists.

Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.

Fire & Life Safety Reviewer — Vulcan

We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, maps, aerials and site documents, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: a plan review comment set, a survey exception schedule, a measured read. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.

What you would be building
Tasks drawn from real site, civil and survey work, including: civil grading plan review, erosion and sediment control plan review, stormwater design plan review, roadway plan check, work-zone and traffic control plan review, utility service drawing review, floodplain permit review, civil RFI response review, landscape ordinance and tree protection review, earthwork quantity verification and stockpile volume certification, ALTA Table A survey items, title survey exception review, closing survey setback review, elevation certificate photo checks, topographic map review and map stack reading, historic aerial and Sanborn map dating, and assessor sketch verification.

Who we are looking for
You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that produces or reviews site, civil and survey work: civil engineer, land development engineer, land surveyor, or geospatial or Phase I environmental analyst.
PE in civil engineering, or PLS for the survey and mapping work.
3 or more years in the seat, US based, working to US standards and state DOT or local land development practice. We prefer 8 or more years.
You are comfortable moving between drawing sets, aerials, topographic maps and parcel data.

What makes someone excellent here
The hard part is not reading the sheet, it is knowing which quantity, contour or exception a reviewer takes on faith. Standouts have usually reviewed submittals for an agency or DOT, mentored EITs or survey crews, carried a project through agency resubmittal cycles, or worked across several jurisdictions and can name what each one checks differently.

Probably not a fit
GIS analysts who have not reviewed engineered drawings, drone pilots without survey credentials, environmental scientists whose work is sampling rather than site plan review, and CAD technicians without design or review responsibility.

Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.

Civil / Survey Engineer — Vulcan

We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, documents and site photos, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: an RFI response, a coordination comment set, a marked-up set. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.

What you would be building
Tasks drawn from real design and coordination work, including: architectural RFI response review, architectural set QC check, technical peer review, cross-sheet coordination review, constructability review, redline back-check, design change approval, addendum change scoping, as-built drawing production, pre-bid drawing scope review, drawing-set document control, commissioning design review, and shop drawing review for interiors, millwork and building envelope details.

Who we are looking for
You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that produces and coordinates permit and construction drawing sets: architect of record, project architect, job captain, or design coordination lead.
Licensed architect. In lieu of a license, 8 or more years as a project architect or job captain producing permit sets.
3 or more years in the seat, US based, working in US model code jurisdictions. We prefer 8 or more years.
You can mark up drawing sets and details. Bluebeam Revu or equivalent.

What makes someone excellent here
The hard part is not answering the RFI, it is knowing which cross-sheet conflict a rushed reviewer signs off on. Standouts have usually run set QC or back-check on other people's drawings, mentored job captains, maintained office standards or a detail library, or worked both sides of the RFI process as designer and as reviewer.

Probably not a fit
CAD or BIM drafters without authorship of the set, renderers and visualization specialists, interior decorators, and PMs who coordinate schedules rather than drawings.

Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.

Architect — Design Coordination (Vulcan)

We are building a large set of evaluation tasks for the construction and property field. Each task starts from real drawings, documents and site photos, and asks for the same structured deliverable you would produce at work: a correction letter, a review decision, a marked-up set. You author the task and the correct answer, and a second reviewer in your discipline checks it before it ships.

What you would be building
Tasks drawn from real permit review work, including: building plans examiner review, code consultant plan review, third party and private provider plan review, accessibility and ICC A117.1 review, energy code drawing checks, occupancy classification and storefront change of use, zoning site plan review, permit intake completeness screening, as-built versus permit deviation, and specialty occupancy review for healthcare facilities, schools, food service and public pools.

Who we are looking for
You currently hold, or recently held, the seat that reviews permit drawing sets for code compliance: a building department plans examiner, a third party or private provider plan reviewer, or a code consultant.
ICC Building Plans Examiner certification (B1, B2 or B3), or current or recent employment doing AHJ or third party plan review. There is no degree requirement for this role.
3 or more years in the seat, US based, working in US model code jurisdictions (IBC, IEBC, IECC, ICC A117.1). We prefer 8 or more years.
You can mark up and measure a plan set. Bluebeam Revu or equivalent.

What makes someone excellent here
The hard part is not applying the code, it is knowing exactly what a careless reviewer would miss. Standouts have usually trained junior examiners, written or maintained a comment library or correction template, done QA on other reviewers' work, or worked across several code editions and jurisdictions and can say precisely what changes between them.

Probably not a fit
General contractors and superintendents without plan review responsibility, estimators, CAD drafters, and permit expediters who file applications but do not review them.

Paid hourly at $45 to $60 depending on experience, with a path to grow your rate as the project scales.

Code Plan Reviewer (Plans Examiner) — Vulcan

## About the work

We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real financial analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment.

This role covers company event propagation: identifying the companies related to an upcoming event and estimating how the catalyst should transmit to each of them.

## What you will do

- Map suppliers, customers, competitors, distributors, substitutes and geographic exposure from EDGAR filings, footnotes, exhibits, transcripts and industry data
- Identify related companies ahead of an event and separate direct exposure from weak thematic correlation
- Estimate direction, magnitude, horizon and confidence, and name the revenue, margin, earnings or valuation mechanism behind each
- Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard

## Who we are looking for

- A senior sector PM, lead equity analyst, or event-driven investor with deep knowledge of a specific industry
- Hands-on experience mapping a company's economic network from primary filings, not from screens or third-party tags
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance

Backgrounds we look at first: top multi-manager and event-driven funds, leading sector teams at major asset managers and banks, and elite specialist research firms — for example Citadel, Millennium, Point72, Balyasny, D. E. Shaw, and top sell-side sector franchises. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.

## Point-in-time discipline

Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.

Company Analysis Expert — Event Propagation

## About the work

We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real macro analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment.

This role covers non-G7 central bank communication. We staff separately by country: a broad global-macro profile is not enough, and we are looking for depth on one specific central bank.

## What you will do

- Interpret statements, minutes, speeches and wording changes from a specific non-G7 central bank in their source language
- Compare current language against prior guidance and prevailing market expectations
- Assign a calibrated dovish-to-hawkish score and spell out the implications for rates, FX and equities
- Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard

## Who we are looking for

- A former economist or adviser from the relevant central bank, or a senior local rates or FX strategist who covered it through multiple policy cycles
- Professional fluency in the source language
- Deep knowledge of that bank's reaction function and communication style, and experience reading it in real time
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance

Backgrounds we look at first: the exact central bank, the BIS, the IMF, leading local institutions, top emerging-markets teams at global banks, and established macro funds. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.

## Point-in-time discipline

Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.

Central Bank Expert — Non-G7 Policy Communication

## About the work

We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real financial analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment.

This role covers single-name equity analyst publications: predicting when a named sell-side analyst will publish after a catalyst, and what that update will contain.

## What you will do

- Forecast the timing and content of a named analyst's post-catalyst research note
- Reason from filings, earnings, transcripts, estimates, valuation and ratings to an expected published view
- Document the internal research workflow that determines how and when an equity research report gets produced
- Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard

## Who we are looking for

- A former lead sell-side equity analyst or highly senior research associate who personally published post-catalyst research in the exact sector
- Deep command of filings, earnings, transcripts, estimates, valuation, ratings, and the internal workflow behind an equity research report
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance

Backgrounds we look at first: Institutional Investor-ranked teams and leading research franchises such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JPMorgan, Bank of America, Citi, UBS, Barclays, Bernstein, Jefferies and Wolfe Research. Former colleagues, direct coverage rivals, and senior buy-side consumers of a named analyst's work are especially valuable. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.

## Point-in-time discipline

Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.

Equity Research Expert — Single-Name Analyst Publications

## About the work

We are building expert-authored forecasting and research data used to evaluate and improve AI models on real political and financial analysis. Each task asks a practitioner to reason from a fixed evidence cutoff — no hindsight — and document the judgment a strong analyst would have made at that moment.

This role covers political report authorship: elections, polling, and political-risk events.

## What you will do

- Author point-in-time political reports and forecasts from a stated evidence cutoff
- Make and document directional judgments about polling, win probabilities, and market-implied odds
- Explain the causal mechanism behind an event's expected political and market impact
- Review model-generated analyses and grade them against your own standard

## Who we are looking for

- A senior elections forecaster, campaign strategist, polling or statistical-methodology expert, or political-risk analyst
- A record of making live judgments about polling, win probabilities, or odds — not retrospective commentary
- Strong polling literacy and causal event analysis
- Typically 8+ years of direct experience, or unusually strong evidence of equivalent performance

Backgrounds we look at first: top national polling and election-forecasting organizations, major decision desks, senior analytics teams from presidential, Senate or governor races, and political-risk desks at leading banks, funds, or firms such as Eurasia Group and EIU. Brand-name experience is a strong first-pass signal but is not a hard requirement — direct experience and performance on the work sample determine who qualifies.

## Not a fit

Pure communications, journalism, or academic profiles without demonstrated forecasting, polling, or probabilistic judgment.

## Point-in-time discipline

Every task is graded on reasoning from the stated cutoff without hindsight, data leakage, confidential information, or material non-public information.

Product Design Expert

## About the work

Mercor is assembling a panel of chemistry and chemical safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. The goal is to test whether a model can correctly judge the misuse potential of a technical request — answering legitimate questions fully while refusing genuinely dangerous ones.

You will:

- Write challenging single-turn prompts in your domain, labelled across three levels: benign, dual-use, and adversarial.
- Evaluate the responses that come back against a defined policy standard, and judge whether each was handled correctly.
- Write the reference answer — what a correct response looks like, and the technical reasoning for why.

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same casework knowledge that identifies a substance describes how it was produced; the same precursor list that supports an investigation is a shopping list read backwards. A model that refuses a routine identification or casework question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have done casework — identifying substances and precursors, and defending the conclusion in a report or on the stand. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same precursor knowledge that identifies a clandestine route is the route. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Controlled substance casework in a forensic laboratory — identification and quantitation
- Clandestine laboratory response, precursor identification and scene chemistry
- Forensic toxicology — postmortem or human performance casework
- Seized-drug and precursor trend monitoring or intelligence analysis
- Expert testimony and report writing on chemical casework

## What this role demands beyond technical depth

This is writing-intensive work. Every judgment you make needs a written rationale that a non-specialist can follow. Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience is a strong signal; please include a sample or link. You will also be reading and writing about misuse scenarios in your field for sustained periods. We brief experts on this in advance, and you can pause or step away at any point without penalty.

## Before you apply

Your work here will not involve, and must not draw on, classified or export-controlled information, or anything covered by an NDA or prepublication review obligation. If you hold such obligations you may still be a good fit; tell us in your application and we will scope the work accordingly.

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same dispersion model that sites a plant and sets an evacuation radius also predicts an exposure; the same hazard analysis that finds a failure path is a list of failure paths. A model that refuses a routine exposure-limit question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have assessed real exposures and real process hazards, and signed off on the controls. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same release model that protects a community estimates a consequence. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Certified industrial hygienist — exposure assessment, sampling strategy, control banding
- Process hazard analysis — HAZOP, LOPA, what-if studies, management of change
- Toxic release and dispersion modelling — consequence analysis, AEGL/ERPG criteria, facility siting
- Ventilation, containment and PPE programme design for chemical hazards
- Regulatory compliance — PSM, Seveso, COMAH, OSHA or national equivalents

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same method that detects a hazardous compound at trace level defines the threshold someone would try to stay beneath; the same library entry that identifies an unknown tells you what a screen will and won't see. A model that refuses a routine method-validation question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for analysts who have built and validated methods for hazardous compounds — people who know what a detection limit really means and what it implies. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same detection method that finds a compound describes how to evade the screen. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Detection and identification of hazardous compounds — GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, IR, NMR
- Method development and validation for trace-level analysis
- Environmental, occupational or emergency-response sampling and analysis

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same route design that scales a medicine underpins a controlled compound; the same impurity profile that proves a clean process identifies how something was made. A model that refuses a routine scale-up or kinetics question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for chemists who have actually run routes and scaled them — bench to pilot to plant — and who know which requests are ordinary process chemistry and which are asking for something else. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same route knowledge that shortens a synthesis serves whoever is shortening it. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Synthetic route design and development in pharmaceutical, agrochemical or fine chemicals
- Process chemistry and reaction engineering — optimisation, kinetics, impurity control
- Scale-up from bench to pilot to plant, with the safety review that goes with it
- Precursor sourcing, controlled-substance registration or regulatory chemistry
- Method development and troubleshooting in a GMP or equivalent quality environment

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same toxicology that sets a countermeasure dose describes an exposure someone might intend; the same decontamination data that protects responders tells you what defeats it. A model that refuses a routine countermeasure or PPE question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have worked chemical threats from the defensive side in an institutional setting — countermeasures, protection, detection, verification. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same agent properties that drive a treatment protocol drive a threat assessment. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Chemical defence research at USAMRICD, DoD, CDC or an allied national institute
- Toxicology of chemical warfare agents and medical countermeasure development
- Decontamination, protection and detection research for chemical threats
- CWC-related work — verification, destruction, designated laboratory analysis

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same design that breaks rock for a highway cut is a description of directed energy release; the same magazine and transport rules that keep a crew safe are a map of where material sits and how it moves. A model that refuses a routine vibration-compliance question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for licensed practitioners who handle, store and move specialty materials as a daily responsibility, and who sign for them. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same inventory and transport detail that satisfies an auditor is what a diversion would exploit. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Licensed blaster or blasting engineer — mining, quarrying, construction or demolition
- Blast design and vibration control — timing, burden, seismograph monitoring, regulatory limits
- Magazine management, inventory reconciliation and transport of specialty materials
- Storage compatibility, security and regulatory compliance for a commercial licensee

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same propulsion analysis that qualifies a motor for flight describes a capability; the same safe-and-arm logic that keeps a system inert is the part someone would want to defeat. A model that refuses a routine performance or qualification question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

This is the engineering half of the domain: we're looking for people who have designed, qualified or tested propulsion and initiation systems, with real hardware and real test data behind them. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same effects model that sizes a safety standoff also sizes an intent. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Munitions or warhead design and effects engineering
- Solid, liquid or hybrid propulsion system design, test and qualification
- Terminal effects modelling — blast, fragmentation, penetration
- Fuzing, safe-and-arm and initiation system engineering

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same residue analysis that identifies what was used is a description of what to use; the same diversion indicators that catch a bad licensee tell someone how not to be caught. A model that refuses a routine forensic identification question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have worked scenes and casework under a national certification — identifying materials after the fact, and inspecting the licensees who hold them. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same residue signature that closes a case describes a recipe in reverse. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Federally certified explosives specialist or national equivalent — scene and materials analysis
- Forensic laboratory identification of energetic materials and post-blast residues
- Post-incident analysis and reporting for an agency or laboratory

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same formulation work that qualifies a propellant or a display composition sits next to something nobody should be helped with; the same sensitivity data that protects a production line reads as a specification from the other side. A model that refuses a routine thermal-stability question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

This is the chemistry half of the domain: we're looking for people who have formulated, synthesised and tested specialty energetic materials in a licensed or government facility, not modelled them from a distance. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same sensitivity result that sets a safe handling limit is what someone else would want to design around. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Formulation chemist for pyrotechnics, propellants or specialty energetic materials
- Synthesis and characterisation of energetic compounds in a licensed or government facility

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same assessment that tells a technician how to approach a device tells someone else how it was meant to work; the same compatibility data that keeps a magazine safe describes what stays stable elsewhere. A model that refuses a routine storage or render-safe question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for public safety professionals who have assessed real devices — the render-safe and post-incident side, held under certification and command accountability. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same assessment that makes a device safe explains how it was built. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Certified bomb technician or hazardous device operator — device assessment and render-safe procedures
- Military EOD with civilian public-safety, training or instruction experience

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same control list that stops a shipment tells a procurement agent what to avoid declaring; the same pathway analysis that informs policy is a roadmap read from the other direction. A model that refuses a routine export-classification question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have worked proliferation questions professionally — export control, treaty implementation, or programme analysis — and who can tell a compliance question from a circumvention question. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same control list that blocks a transfer also names what to route around. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Export control licensing, classification or enforcement — dual-use lists, catch-all controls, end-user screening

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same signature that attributes a sample is the one someone would want to suppress; the same detection limit that catches material moving can be read as a threshold to stay under. A model that refuses a routine measurement-methodology question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have characterised real nuclear material — detection, attribution, and the analytical work behind a defensible conclusion. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same signature that identifies a source tells you what to hide. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Nuclear forensics casework or international exercise participation — sample characterisation and attribution

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same material-balance calculation that closes an inspector's account can be used to hide what is missing from it; the same protection assessment that hardens a facility maps its weaknesses. A model that refuses a routine material-accounting question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have been responsible for keeping nuclear material where it belongs — material control and accountability, physical protection, and the assessments that test both. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same vulnerability assessment that closes a gap also describes it. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Material control and accountability (MC&A) programme design, operation or assessment at a national laboratory or licensee
- Physical protection system engineering — sensors, barriers, delay, response force, performance testing

Mercor is assembling a panel of nuclear materials and safeguards experts to red-team frontier AI models. The goal is to test whether a model can correctly judge the misuse potential of a technical request — answering legitimate questions fully while refusing genuinely dangerous ones.

You will:

- Write challenging single-turn prompts in your domain, labelled across three levels: benign, dual-use, and adversarial.
- Evaluate the responses that come back against a defined policy standard, and judge whether each was handled correctly.
- Write the reference answer — what a correct response looks like, and the technical reasoning for why.

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same material-balance calculation that closes an inspector's account can be used to hide what is missing from it; the same fuel-cycle step that supplies a power reactor is the one a proliferation pathway runs through. A model that refuses a routine criticality-safety question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have worked the fuel cycle itself — enrichment, reprocessing, fabrication, criticality safety — and who know which parameters are routine engineering and which ones only matter to someone going somewhere else with them. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Enrichment, conversion or fuel fabrication engineering — process design, operations, throughput
- Reprocessing and back-end fuel cycle — separations, waste streams, spent fuel management
- Criticality safety engineer — criticality safety evaluations, limits and controls, accident analysis
- Fuel cycle systems analysis and modelling — material flows, cycle performance and economics
- Safety analysis or licensing for a fuel-cycle facility

## What this role demands beyond technical depth

This is writing-intensive work. Every judgment you make needs a written rationale that a non-specialist can follow. Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience is a strong signal; please include a sample or link. You will also be reading and writing about misuse scenarios in your field for sustained periods. We brief experts on this in advance, and you can pause or step away at any point without penalty.

## Before you apply

Your work here will not involve, and must not draw on, classified or export-controlled information, or anything covered by an NDA or prepublication review obligation. If you hold such obligations you may still be a good fit; tell us in your application and we will scope the work accordingly.

A model that refuses a routine accountancy question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have verified nuclear material rather than read about it — inspection regimes, accountancy, and the judgment calls that come with an unresolved discrepancy. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same material-balance figure that closes an account can be used to conceal a diversion. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- IAEA, Euratom or state-system (SSAC/RSAC) inspector — inspection planning, verification, reporting
- Material accountancy — facility declarations, inventory change reports, MUF evaluation and resolution
- Additional Protocol implementation — declarations, complementary access, information analysis
- Safeguards instrumentation and containment/surveillance — NDA measurement, seals, unattended monitoring
- Safeguards-by-design work or safeguards policy analysis at a laboratory, regulator or ministry

This domain lives on the dual-use line more than most. The same isotope underpins cancer therapy and industrial radiography; the same shielding calculation protects a worker and conceals a source. A model that refuses a routine dose question is failing as badly as one that answers a question it shouldn't. Drawing that line reliably is why we need practitioners rather than generalists.

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who produce and handle medical isotopes — the legitimate-use half of the dual-use line, held as a real custody responsibility. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same activity and shielding figures that let a patient go home describe a source someone else wants to move quietly. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Nuclear medicine or radiopharmacy physicist — therapy dosimetry, I-131, Lu-177 and Y-90 work, patient release criteria
- Cyclotron or radiochemistry facility RSO — target handling, PET isotope production, hot-cell operations
- Medical physicist with brachytherapy source custody — HDR and LDR sources, inventory and source exchange
- Radiopharmaceutical production and QC under GMP or an equivalent quality system
- Authorised Medical Physicist or Authorised User support on a medical radioactive materials licence

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have planned for or responded to a radiological event — the consequence, contamination and protective-action side, held as a real responsibility rather than a tabletop interest. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same dispersal model that drives an evacuation decision also describes an effect someone might want. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Radiological emergency planning at a licensed facility, or at state or national level — plans, drills, exercises
- Field response and monitoring — FRMAC, RAP, CBRN or national radiological response teams
- Consequence and dispersal modelling — plume and deposition estimates, dose projection, protective action decisions
- Incident command or response coordination for a radiological event or full-scale exercise
- Medical and public-health radiological response — triage, countermeasures, population monitoring

## Background we're looking for

We're looking for people who have assessed how Category 1 and 2 sources actually get stolen, shielded or moved — the security and vulnerability side of a licensed programme, not just its paperwork. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same shielding calculation protects a worker and conceals a source. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Security or vulnerability assessment of licensed facilities holding Category 1 and 2 sources
- Physical protection design and review — detect, delay, assess and respond; insider threat considerations
- Source recovery, consolidation or security-upgrade programmes for disused and orphan sources
- Regulatory security inspection and compliance — 10 CFR 37 or national equivalents
- Transport security for radioactive material — routing, escort, tracking and chain of custody

We're looking for people who have done the measurement and the dose planning themselves, in a facility where getting it wrong mattered — survey, assay, contamination control, work planning. What matters most is being able to tell a routine professional question from one that's fishing for something else: the same shielding calculation protects a worker and conceals a source. You will be writing prompts that sit exactly on that line, then judging whether the model held it.

Examples of relevant backgrounds (ideally with red-teaming experience):

- Operational health physicist at a DOE site, national laboratory or reactor facility — survey, assay, contamination control
- Internal dosimetry or bioassay specialist — intake assessment, dose reconstruction, committed dose

**Help make the next generation of AI-narrated audiobooks sound genuinely human.**

## 1. Overview

We're building a team of native Italian speakers who love audiobooks to help evaluate AI-narrated (text-to-speech) audiobooks in Italian (Italy). You'll listen the way a real audiobook fan does — but with a careful, analytical ear — and flag the moments where the narration slips, so the underlying models can be made better.

This is remote, part-time work at roughly 20 hours per week (about 4 hours per day). You can be based anywhere, though we prefer people living in a region where Italian is natively spoken.

## 2. What You'll Do

- Listen to AI-narrated audiobooks in Italian and assess how natural, accurate, and enjoyable the narration is.
- Spot and log errors in the synthesized speech — skipped, added, or mispronounced words; numbers read incorrectly; abbreviations expanded wrongly; unnatural phrasing or intonation; audio glitches and artifacts.
- Categorize each issue and mark the exact span where it occurs, using our review tooling.
- Report on overall listener satisfaction and where the narration feels natural versus where it breaks the experience.
- Work consistently and carefully across many hours of audio without losing attention to detail.

## 3. Who We're Looking For

- Native or near-native fluency in Italian (Italy), and an active, genuine audiobook listener — someone who listens regularly and has real opinions about what makes a good listen.
- Enough working English to report clearly and communicate with the team (you do not need to be bilingual).
- Some experience with annotation, labeling, transcription, proofreading, linguistics, or other detail-oriented review work.
- A sharp, patient ear and the discipline to stay accurate over long listening sessions.
- Reliable availability of about 20 hours per week on a part-time basis.

## Nice to Have

- Prior experience on AI training-data, model-evaluation, or audio/QA annotation projects.
- A background in language, editing, voice, or audio production.

In the first survey, describe your primary responsibilities, tasks, smaller pieces of work, and which tasks need outputs from other tasks. You can also describe different versions of the same task. Written instructions and help from the study coordinator are provided. No outside research or real work product is required.

Wave 1 pays $100 per hour of reviewed survey time, up to 90 minutes ($150 maximum). If you need more time, contact the coordinator before continuing beyond the cap.

A later survey will ask selected participants to review a combined task tree and add details. Its scope and compensation will be confirmed separately before you begin.

## Who should apply

- Current or former public defenders with hands-on experience representing indigent clients in the United States.
    
- Able to describe the work you personally performed and the jurisdiction and period in which you practiced.
    
- Prior Mercor project experience is welcome but not required.
    

Experience solely as a prosecutor, law student, legal-content annotator, or lawyer without public-defense experience is not sufficient for this study. If your work was court-appointed or contract public defense, explain that arrangement so we can review the fit.

## How to participate

Apply with your resume and a short description of your public-defense experience and availability. We review applications before sending personal survey links. Applying does not automatically enroll you or start the paid survey.

Use your own professional experience, not AI-generated answers. Do not include client names, case numbers, identifying facts, confidential information, or privileged material. We do not need any documents from real cases.
