## 1\. Overview

We are hiring a senior **business and sales operations domain expert** to work directly with a leading AI lab's research and program management teams, improving how frontier AI models reason about real business operations work.

Your operating expertise is the substance of this role. You will review the quality of business operations knowledge work tasks, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that define what "correct" looks like, and build the benchmarks that show whether the model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practicing operator rather than a generalist.

This is a full-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI lab as part of their extended workforce. You will be provisioned with client-issued accounts and equipment, and will work inside the client's own tools alongside their research teams.

- **Seniority:** Clear progression to a senior level, for example Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Vice President, COO, or President, with real ownership of a function, a budget, or a team.
    
- **Domain depth:** Genuine specialization in at least one area, for example sales operations and territory or quota design, revenue operations and forecasting, CRM and go to market systems, pricing and deal desk, supply chain and inventory planning, business analytics, or process improvement.
    
- **Education:** A bachelor's degree, with an MBA or an equivalent advanced degree strongly preferred.
    
- **AI fluency:** Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
    
- **Availability:** Able to commit reliably to 40 hours per week for an initial engagement of 6 months.
    
- **Location:** Living in the Bay Area, California, and able to work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. Candidates not currently based in the Bay Area must be willing to relocate there at their own cost. Relocation assistance is not provided.
    
- Excellent written communication, and the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.

Clinical Medicine Domain Expert

**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 AI models.**

## 1\. Overview

We are hiring a senior **pharmaceutical R&D domain expert** to work directly with a leading AI lab's research and program management teams, improving how frontier AI models reason about real pharmaceutical research and development work.

Your drug development expertise is the substance of this role. You will review the quality of pharmaceutical knowledge work tasks, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that define what "correct" looks like, and build the benchmarks that show whether the model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practicing specialist rather than a generalist.

This is a full-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI lab as part of their extended workforce. You will be provisioned with client-issued accounts and equipment, and will work inside the client's own tools alongside their research teams.

**Location:** This is a **hybrid** role based in the **Bay Area, California**. You must live in the Bay Area and work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. This is not a remote role. If you do not currently live in the Bay Area, you must be willing to relocate there at your own cost before the engagement starts. Relocation assistance is not provided.

## 2\. Key Responsibilities

- **Data QA and reviews:** Vet the quality of pharmaceutical knowledge work tasks and model outputs, spotting missing behaviors, thin reasoning, unsupported efficacy or safety claims, and answers that read well but would not survive scientific or regulatory scrutiny.
    
- **Instruction specs and golden datasets:** Write high-quality instruction specs, produce golden solutions to drug discovery and development problems, and define new tasks that reflect how the work is actually done in industry.
    
- **Benchmarks and domain depth:** Design challenging pharmaceutical tasks and evaluation sets, and help build domain-specific skills and tools together with the research team.
    
- **Calibration:** Work with client researchers and specialists in adjacent fields to keep standards consistent, translating tacit development judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
    

## 3\. Core Qualifications

- **Education:** PhD or PharmD in a pharmaceutically relevant discipline, for example medicinal or organic chemistry, pharmacology, molecular biology, pharmaceutical sciences, or toxicology. An MD with substantive drug development experience also qualifies.
    
- **Experience:** 4+ years of substantive pharmaceutical or biotechnology research and development experience, at a pharmaceutical company, a biotechnology company, a contract research organization, or a translational research institute. Purely academic research with no drug development exposure is a weaker fit.
    
- **Domain depth:** Genuine specialization in at least one stage of the pipeline, for example target identification and validation, medicinal chemistry and lead optimization, preclinical pharmacology and toxicology, translational and biomarker science, clinical development, or regulatory affairs and CMC.
    
- **Seniority:** Clear progression to a senior level, for example Senior Scientist, Principal Scientist, Director of Research, or a VP level R&D role, with real ownership of a discovery project or development program.
    
- **Research record:** Peer-reviewed publications, granted patents, or contributions to programs that reached the clinic. Strongly preferred.
    
- **AI fluency:** Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
    
- **Availability:** Able to commit reliably to 40 hours per week for an initial engagement of 6 months.
    
- **Location:** Living in the Bay Area, California, and able to work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. Candidates not currently based in the Bay Area must be willing to relocate there at their own cost. Relocation assistance is not provided.
    
- Excellent written communication, and the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.

Engineering & Software Domain Expert

We want to understand how people actually find their way to Mercor.

**What's involved**

Five short questions as part of your application, under a minute. There is nothing to prepare and no right answer. This part is not paid.

We may invite you to a 20-minute AI interview about how you came to Mercor. That part is paid: $25 on completion.

Your answers will not affect your standing on Mercor, your pay, or whether you get selected for a project. Tell us what actually happened, including the parts that reflect badly on us.

Open to anyone who has worked on a Mercor project, anywhere.

Research: How You Found Mercor

**Mercor is partnering with a venture-backed AI lab building frontier AI platforms and physics-based foundation models for chemistry, materials science, and drug discovery.** They're extending their platform into new areas of pharmaceutical development and are looking for hands-on preclinical R&D experts across drug modalities to help guide what they build.

Are you a preclinical R&D scientist who has taken drug programs from the bench toward the clinic — and curious how AI is reshaping drug discovery? This is a hands-on role that blends your wet-lab and translational experience with a growing understanding of how scientific data trains the next generation of AI models.

**In this role, you'll:**

- Review technical materials and real-world R&D data in your area of expertise

- Label, classify, and annotate scientific data and model outputs to improve model performance

- Provide expert perspective on key scientific and development decisions (target/modality selection, optimization, trade-offs, risk)

- Help define structure and quality standards for the client's dataset pipeline

- Participate in expert discussions, interviews, and research engagements

**You're a strong fit if you:**

- Have hands-on, non-administrative preclinical R&D experience at a company that develops its own drug assets in-house and has taken programs to the clinic — Must Have

- Work in a core R&D function: discovery biology, medicinal chemistry, protein/antibody engineering, computational, in vivo/translational, pharmacology/PK-PD, toxicology, or CMC/formulation — Must Have

- Have hands-on experience with one or more drug modalities (small molecules, monoclonal antibodies, peptides, ADCs, bispecifics, mRNA, siRNA, ASOs, PROTACs, molecular glues, cell therapies, gene therapies, radioligand therapies, etc.) — Must Have

- Have 5+ years of relevant industry R&D experience (flexible based on depth)

- Have taken a program through lead optimization or IND-enabling/preclinical development (nice to have)

- Have experience at mid-sized, emerging, or resource-constrained biotech — ideally currently outside the top-20 pharmaceutical companies (nice to have)

This is a hands-on preclinical R&D role — likely **not the right fit** if your work is mainly CRO/CDMO services, academic-only, QC/analytical-only, clinical-development-only, diagnostics, or regulatory/medical-writing.

Your work will directly feed into the models reshaping how medicines are discovered, helping intelligent systems reason about real-world pharmaceutical R&D.

**Here are more details about the role:**

- You will interface directly with the client team.

- This is an ongoing, part-time engagement of roughly 10 hours per week.

- Seniority welcome from individual contributor through Director.

Preclinical R&D Expert – In-house Drug Development

**About the work**

We're building a high-quality dataset of human preference judgments on AI-generated frontend code. Each task hands you a reference web page — crawled from the real internet, delivered as a full zipped site tree plus screenshots of its default view and, on some pages, additional states reached by hovering, clicking, or scrolling. Alongside it come two model attempts, A and B, each a zipped self-contained site tree. The models only ever saw the screenshots; they never had the source.

You download all three, run them locally, view each at a 1920×1080 viewport, interact with them to reach every required state, then open the source of both attempts and grade them against each other — on visual fidelity per state, and on how the code is actually constructed. Structure and responsiveness are explicitly part of the rubric, not just the render.

This is evaluation work, not authoring. The defining skill is not that you can build a page — it's that you can open someone else's page and tell how it was built and where it cheats.

**Please read before applying**

- Each unit takes roughly 2–3 hours and is timed. This is not microtask work; if you can only offer scattered 15-minute windows, you will not be able to finish a unit.
    
- You need a real local development environment. A tablet, a Chromebook, or a locked-down work machine that cannot run a local static server will not work for this project.
    
- You need at least one completed Mercor engagement, delivered in full. We are not onboarding net-new experts to this project.
    

**What you'll do**

- Render a reference page and two candidate replications at 1920×1080 and judge which is the closer reproduction, state by state.
    
- Diff visual fidelity in detail: box model and spacing, typography (family, size, weight, line-height, letter-spacing), color and border treatment, image and asset handling, z-order and overflow.
    
- Read the source of both attempts and grade construction quality — distinguishing a replication that is genuinely correct from one that merely looks correct at one viewport. Hardcoded pixel offsets, absolute positioning standing in for real layout, inline style soup, a single undifferentiated div tree, or a screenshot pasted in as an `<img>` instead of a rebuilt section.
    
- Test responsiveness: a nav bar that looks right at 1920px but collapses at 1400px is a defect, and you should be able to say precisely why.
    
- Write a specific, evidence-cited justification for every preference. We need "B nests the article body in a single absolutely-positioned div, so the text overlaps the footer below 1600px, while A uses normal document flow" — not "A looks closer."
    
- Use the "this task is broken" escape hatch with judgment: distinguish a task that genuinely cannot be completed from the screenshots provided from one that is merely hard. Over-flagging and under-flagging are both failure modes.
    

**You're a fit if you have**

- 3–8 years of professional web development experience, shipping web interfaces for a living, primarily in frontend or full-stack work.
    
- Fluency across web eras. The reference pages are real crawled sites — one is a small charter-fishing business built in the table-and-image-map tradition, another a corporate press-release page with stacked navigation rows and social share widgets. If your entire career happened inside a modern component framework and you have never authored raw CSS or seen a `<table>` used for layout, you will misjudge many of these pages.
    
- Command of hand-written HTML and CSS: semantic markup, flexbox, grid, media queries, and legacy float- and table-based layouts you can read and reason about. You should be able to look at a rendered layout and predict what's holding it together before opening DevTools.
    
- Browser DevTools as muscle memory — setting an exact viewport, walking the element tree, checking computed styles, watching what a hover handler mutates.
    
- Command-line comfort: unzipping an archive, standing up a static local server because the relative asset paths demand it, and untangling a broken image reference rather than giving up and grading from the screenshot.
    
- Enough JavaScript to read a page's scripts and understand what they do to the DOM, even if you don't write JS daily.
    
- Professional written English. Every task ends in a free-text justification, and a rating without a specific rationale is worth very little.
    

**Equipment**

- A desktop or laptop that displays a 1920×1080 viewport.
    
- Administrator rights on your own machine, so you can install and run a local server.
    

**Nice to have**

- Prior RLHF, preference-labeling, model-evaluation, or structured code-review work — the strongest single signal. Rubric-driven comparison at volume needs almost no ramp here.
    
- Pixel-perfect design-to-code experience: agency work, design systems, template production. Anyone who has had a designer reject a build over four pixels has exactly the fidelity eye this needs.
    
- Accessibility expertise (ARIA, semantic landmarks, heading hierarchy) — you'll notice immediately when an attempt renders a heading as a styled `<span>`.
    
- Familiarity with how LLMs fail at code generation.
    
- Web scraping, archiving, or DOM-parsing background — comfort with messy crawled site trees.
    
- More than one completed Mercor project, and availability in contiguous multi-hour blocks.
    

**Note:** this seat is for practicing web developers. Backend-only, ML/data-science-only, mobile-native-only, and DevOps-only engineers do not have the UI instincts this requires, however strong they are otherwise. Designers who do not code cannot grade the source axes at all. Framework-only engineers who have never authored CSS outside a component library will struggle with the legacy reference pages.

Corporate/M&A Lawyer (United Kingdom)

Are you a Level 3 / Tier 3 network support engineer interested in data science and autonomous infrastructure? Our client is building vertically integrated networking systems and using the data they generate to power the next generation of AI-driven infrastructure. They're looking for engineers experienced in final escalations, packet analysis, troubleshooting, and RCA workflows to help label, annotate, and structure networking data from real production systems.

This is a hands-on role that blends your L3 troubleshooting and incident-response experience with a growing understanding of how data pipelines are built and used in AI systems.

**In this role, you'll:**

- Review real-world data from deployed networks: logs, configs, telemetry, event streams
    
- Label and classify network behaviors, issues, anomalies, and incident patterns
    
- Help define schemas and structure for large-scale data pipelines that downstream ML models will train on
    

**You're a strong fit if you:**

- Work today as a Level 3 / Tier 3 / Principal Support Engineer keeping existing enterprise infrastructure online and stable — on-call rotation, RCAs, final escalations, troubleshooting outages — Must Have
    
- Have hands-on experience with end-customer enterprise networks (switches, APs, firewalls in retail, healthcare, financial, manufacturing, university, hospitality, etc.) — Must Have
    
- Bring hands-on Wi-Fi/wireless proficiency — enterprise WLAN controllers (Cisco WLC, Aruba, or Meraki), 802.1X/RADIUS, and wireless troubleshooting — Must Have
    
- Do packet-level troubleshooting yourself — Wireshark, tcpdump, SPAN captures
    
- Are curious about how raw infra data becomes machine learning input
    

This is a **maintainer** role — likely not the right fit if your current work is mainly network design/architecture, cloud/SRE, security/SOC, or IT helpdesk.

Your work will directly feed into the pipelines that power client's AI models, and help shape how intelligent systems reason about networks in the real world.

**Here are more details about the role:**

- You will interface directly with the client team.
    
- You are expected to work 30-40 hours/week, with your hours overlapping the Pacific (PT) business day.
    
- This is an individual 1099 contract paid to a personal account — no corp-to-corp or agency billing.
    
- You must be authorized to work in the US or Canada without sponsorship.

Applied Computer Science Benchmark Specialist

We’re looking for UK or Europe-based generalist experts to help train and evaluate frontier AI models. In this role, you’ll review and assess a wide range of everyday professional content — documents, slides, spreadsheets, and other written materials — judging them for quality, accuracy, clarity, and completeness. Your feedback directly shapes how AI systems reason about and produce real-world work product.

This is a great fit if you’re a sharp, detail-oriented generalist who’s comfortable moving across different formats and subject areas. You don’t need deep specialization in any one field — strong judgment, careful reading, and clear written reasoning matter most.

**What you’ll do**

- Review and evaluate documents, slides, spreadsheets, and similar materials for quality and correctness
    
- Provide clear, well-reasoned written feedback and ratings
    
- Compare and rank AI-generated outputs against defined criteria
    
- Flag errors, inconsistencies, and gaps in reasoning or formatting
    

**What we’re looking for**

- Bachelor’s degree (minimum requirement)
    
- Based in the UK or Europe
    
- Excellent reading comprehension and written communication in English
    
- Strong attention to detail and sound judgment across varied subject matter
    
- Comfort working independently across common productivity tools (docs, slides, sheets)
    

No prior AI or machine-learning experience is required — we’ll provide the guidelines and context you need to succeed.

Generalist Expert (US/Canada)

We are looking for engineers who build and operate LLM agents in production, and who have real visibility into how agents are actually used inside a company.

You have probably:

- Shipped an agent that real users depended on, and been on the hook when it broke.
    
- Figured out how to tell whether an agent got better or worse after a change.
    
- Run agents that outlive a single request: scheduled jobs, long-running work, cloud sandboxes.
    
- Watched your org build an internal assistant, and seen who adopted it and who quietly did not.
    

We are especially interested in the layers most people do not talk about: internal monoagents wired into company data, shared company memory, reusable skills and playbooks, the tool and MCP surfaces agents call, and how anyone sees what agents did and what they cost.

Applying starts with a short conversational AI interview. No coding, no take-home. We want to hear how you actually think about agent reliability, evaluation, and adoption, and the tradeoffs you have made in real systems. Bring war stories. The messier and more specific, the better.

If that screen stands out, we will invite you to a live 30 minute conversation with our team. We pay $100 to $500 for that conversation, paid on completion of the call, with the amount depending on depth of experience.

If that sounds like you, apply and complete the screen. We review every submission.

Agent Engineer

**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 AI 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 senior image quality experts from film, VFX, animation, and professional photography — VFX and rendering supervisors, colorists, cinematographers, lighting artists, and high-end photographers — with a strong foundation in visual perception, light physics, and pixel-level scrutiny. You will judge, frame by frame, whether an enhanced or upscaled image actually holds up, catching the compression artifacts, noise, aliasing, grain-structure inconsistency, and over- or under-sharpening that typically go unnoticed by the average viewer.

This is a part-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce.

# 2\. Key Responsibilities

- Evaluate high-resolution video and stills at pixel level, identifying compression artifacts, noise, aliasing, banding, grain-structure inconsistency, and over- or under-sharpening.
    
- Apply an uncompromising focus on the intricate details that typically go unnoticed, and flag where output diverges from professional image-quality standards.
    
- Design and refine evaluation templates and rating guidelines so reviewers apply the same visual-quality bar consistently, including under edge cases.
    
- Translate complex visual details into clear, precise descriptive language that can be captured in data captions and evaluation templates.
    
- Generate your own visual samples for targeted testing and side-by-side comparison.
    
- Collaborate with other subject matter experts and program leads to maintain visual consistency across sequences and across reviewers.
    

# 3\. Core Qualifications

- 5+ years of professional experience in high-end visual evaluation across film, VFX, animation, or professional photography.
    
- Direct professional experience in at least one of the following disciplines:
    
    - **Visual Effects (VFX) Supervisor** — the authority on final image quality, with an elite eye for pixel-level flaws, grain-structure inconsistencies, and visual artifacts.
        
    - **Rendering Supervisor** — accustomed to running dailies and taking ultimate responsibility for visual quality down to the absolute pixel.
        
    - **Lighting Supervisor, Lead, or Artist** — a specialist in illumination and the foundational building blocks of digital video and cinematic motion.
        
    - **Colorist** — deep expertise in color grading, artifact detection, and maintaining visual consistency across sequences.
        
    - **Director of Photography (DP) or Cinematographer** — skilled at framing, capturing visual performance, and critically evaluating over- and under-sharpness in high-resolution images.
        
    - **Effects or Surfacing Artist** — strong command of textures, materials, and the complex simulation of visual elements.
        
    - **High-End Photographer** — deep command of lighting dynamics, depth of field, and color artifacts in high-resolution captures.
        
    - **Director** — particularly those with deep experience directing crowd and background action.
        
    - **Digital Projectionist** — a rigorously trained eye for final-output quality, screen-level fidelity, and visual anomalies.
        
- Training from a university or program with a highly respected film, visual effects, or digital media program.
    
- Reliable access to a 4K-resolution monitor or display to perform precise, pixel-level evaluation.
    
- Familiarity with AI tools and workflows, including the ability to generate your own visual samples for testing and comparison.
    
- Ability to engage reliably for 20 hours per week, with working hours overlapping the PST to EST window.
    
- Fluent in English, with the exceptional ability to translate complex visual details into clear, precise descriptive language.

Visual Quality Expert (Film, VFX & Animation)

**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 AI models.**

## 1\. Overview

We are hiring a senior **finance domain expert** to work directly with a leading AI lab's research and program management teams, improving how frontier AI models reason about real financial work.

Your finance expertise is the substance of this role. You will review the quality of finance knowledge work tasks, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that define what "correct" looks like, and build the benchmarks that show whether the model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practising specialist rather than a generalist.

This is a full-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI lab as part of their extended workforce. You will be provisioned with client-issued accounts and equipment, and will work inside the client's own tools alongside their research teams.

**Location:** This is a **hybrid** role based in the **Bay Area, California**. You must live in the Bay Area and work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. This is not a remote role. If you do not currently live in the Bay Area, you must be willing to relocate there at your own cost before the engagement starts — relocation assistance is not provided.

## 2\. Key Responsibilities

- **Data QA and reviews:** Vet the quality of finance knowledge work tasks and model outputs — spotting missing behaviors, thin reasoning, flawed assumptions, and answers that read well but would not survive professional scrutiny.
    
- **Instruction specs and golden datasets:** Write high-quality instruction specs, produce golden solutions to financial problems, and define new finance tasks that reflect how the work is actually done in practice.
    
- **Benchmarks and domain depth:** Design challenging finance tasks and evaluation sets, and help build finance-specific skills and tools together with the research team.
    
- **Calibration:** Work with client researchers and specialists in adjacent fields to keep standards consistent, translating tacit financial judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
    

## 3\. Core Qualifications

- **Experience:** 5+ years of substantive, dedicated professional finance experience at a recognized institution — for example an investment bank, asset manager, private equity or credit fund, Big Four firm, a large corporate finance function, or a financial regulator. Generalist roles that only touch finance peripherally do not count.
    
- **Domain depth:** Genuine specialization in at least one core finance discipline, for example corporate finance and FP&A, investment banking and M&A, asset or wealth management, private equity or private credit, quantitative finance and risk management, treasury, or accounting and audit.
    
- **Seniority:** Clear progression to a senior individual-contributor or leadership level — for example Vice President, Director, Principal, Managing Director, Portfolio Manager, Controller, or CFO — with real ownership of analysis and decisions.
    
- **Education and credentials:** An advanced degree from a strong program (MBA, MS, or PhD in finance, economics, accounting, or a quantitative field) and/or a recognized professional credential such as CFA, CPA, FRM, or an actuarial designation. Strongly preferred.
    
- **AI fluency:** Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
    
- **Availability:** Able to commit reliably to 40 hours per week for an initial engagement of 6 months.
    
- **Location:** Living in the Bay Area, California, and able to work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. Candidates not currently based in the Bay Area must be willing to relocate there at their own cost; relocation assistance is not provided.
    
- Excellent written communication, and the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.

Partner & General Counsel - Legal Domain Expert

Private Equity & Venture Capital - Finance Domain Expert

**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 AI models.**

## 1\. Overview

We are hiring an experienced **counsel-level lawyer** to work directly with a leading AI lab's research and program management teams, improving how frontier AI models reason about real legal work.

This listing is for practitioners at **counsel or senior associate level, with roughly 8 to 15 years of post-qualification practice**. If you are earlier in your career, or if you are at partner or General Counsel level, please apply to the corresponding Legal Domain Expert listing instead — we run separate listings by seniority so the rate matches the experience.

Your legal expertise is the substance of this role. You will review the quality of legal knowledge work tasks, write the instruction specs and golden solutions that define what "correct" looks like, and build the benchmarks that show whether the model is genuinely improving. We are looking for a practising specialist rather than a generalist.

This is a full-time W-2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI lab as part of their extended workforce. You will be provisioned with client-issued accounts and equipment, and will work inside the client's own tools alongside their research teams.

**Location:** This is a **hybrid** role based in the **Bay Area, California**. You must live in the Bay Area and work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. This is not a remote role. If you do not currently live in the Bay Area, you must be willing to relocate there at your own cost before the engagement starts — relocation assistance is not provided.

## 2\. Key Responsibilities

- **Data QA and reviews:** Vet the quality of legal knowledge work tasks and model outputs — spotting missing behaviors, thin reasoning, and answers that read well but would not survive professional scrutiny.
    
- **Instruction specs and golden datasets:** Write high-quality instruction specs, produce golden solutions to legal problems, and define new legal tasks that reflect how the work is actually done in practice.
    
- **Benchmarks and domain depth:** Design challenging legal tasks and evaluation sets, and help build legal-specific skills and tools together with the research team.
    
- **Calibration:** Work with client researchers and specialists in adjacent fields to keep standards consistent, translating tacit legal judgment into explicit, teachable criteria.
    

## 3\. Core Qualifications

- **Education:** Juris Doctor (JD) from an accredited law school; a highly ranked school is strongly preferred.
    
- **Experience:** 8 to 15 years of substantive post-qualification legal practice at a reputable institution — an established law firm, a corporate legal department, a regulatory body, or a court. Internships and clerkships alone do not count.
    
- **Seniority:** Currently at or has reached **counsel, senior associate, senior in-house counsel, or Assistant General Counsel** level, with real ownership of matters.
    
- **Domain depth:** Genuine specialization in at least one substantive practice area, for example corporate and transactional, litigation and dispute resolution, regulatory and compliance, intellectual property, employment and labor, or tax.
    
- **Licensure:** Admission to at least one U.S. state bar, in good standing.
    
- **AI fluency:** Hands-on working use of large language models in your professional work, and the judgment to tell a well-reasoned answer from a plausible-sounding wrong one.
    
- **Availability:** Able to commit reliably to 40 hours per week for an initial engagement of 6 months.
    
- **Location:** Living in the Bay Area, California, and able to work on-site with the client's team multiple days each week, when required. Candidates not currently based in the Bay Area must be willing to relocate there at their own cost; relocation assistance is not provided.
    
- Excellent written communication, and the ability to give precise, well-structured written feedback.
