About the Role

The research teams behind the best-known AI models come to Mercor for data 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 analysts and data 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 You'll Do

  • We match data practitioners in the network to projects like:
  • Writing an analysis problem from work you actually shipped, with the data, the question, and the constraint, plus the reference answer a model's attempt gets graded against
  • Grading model-written analysis and pipelines: whether the query answers the question that was asked, whether the join fans out, whether the metric means what the model says it means
  • Flagging where a model produces a technically valid result that would mislead a decision-maker, given selection effects, leakage, or a metric that does not track the outcome
  • This pool spans data analysis, including:
  • Business intelligence
  • Data engineering
  • Statistics

You're a Good Fit If You

  • Professional experience in analytics, data engineering, statistics, or machine learning
  • Clear written communication, since most of the work involves explaining your reasoning
  • Comfort with ambiguous tasks, and willingness to flag unclear instructions
