You will apply strict grading rubrics to assess scenario quality and provide vital feedback to the creators. This is a W2 employment position with Cincinnatus LLC, with the opportunity to be placed at a leading AI Lab as part of their extended workforce. You will join a team of domain experts and together, you will guide the next generation of frontier AI tools and agents. Audit & Evaluate: Review richly detailed personas, digital environments, and tasks created by AI Training Scenario Designers to ensure they are logically sound and properly structured. Apply Strict Rubrics: Utilize complex evaluation rubrics to score scenarios objectively, ensuring the tasks effectively challenge an AI agent's ability to reason, filter, and prioritize without being broken or impossible. Quality Assurance: Identify logical inconsistencies, factual errors, missing context, and technical flaws (e.g., invalid JSON structures) within the simulated environments. Provide Feedback: Deliver clear, constructive, and actionable feedback to the scenario designers to help them refine their worlds and improve their overall output. Document Outcomes: Maintain rigorous quality standards by logging your review outcomes, scores, and feedback clearly in Airtable and Crucible. Have a proven track record in QA, editing, auditing, or reviewing complex written/technical content. Ability to engage for ~40 hours/week Excel at learning and rigorously applying comprehensive grading rubrics (prior high scores in rubric-based training or academies is a massive plus). Have an "eagle eye" for inconsistencies, edge cases, and logical gaps that others miss. Are comfortable giving constructive, structured feedback to peers and creators. Can quickly navigate structured tools like JSON editors, Airtable, and AI platforms. Must Have: Undergrad degree, 2+ years professional experience. Nice to Have: Editing / QA background β Senior editor, QA tester, technical reviewer, compliance auditor, or peer-reviewer. Technical / data comfort β JSON familiarity, Jira/Asana power user, data analyst, SQL/Python exposure. You don't need to write the code from scratch, but you must be able to spot when a JSON structure is broken. Process & Systems thinking β Operations managers, technical PMs, or systems designers who understand how complex, multi-stakeholder workflows should logically function in a professional setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for freelancers or full-time employees?
Both. Mercor tries to match you with clients who want long-term contractors. Unlike other platforms where you log in and grab small tasks, Mercor matches you with one company for a steady role (e.g., 'Python Tutor for 3 months').
I'm not comfortable on camera. Can I still apply?
No. The application requires a video interview with an AI avatar. The AI asks you questions about your resume, and the video is shared with potential clients to prove your communication skills.
Does it cost money to join?
No. You should never pay to join these platforms. Mercor makes money by charging the client a fee on top of your hourly rate.
Is this traditional consulting?
Not exactly. You act as a "Teacher" for advanced AI. Instead of client deliverables, you are given complex scenarios to evaluate. You grade the AI's logic, correct its hallucinations, and provide expert-level reasoning. Your job is to train the model to think like you do.
Why is the pay so high?
This role requires deep, verified expertise. General knowledge isn't enough; the model is specifically being trained on "edge cases"βthe rare, difficult, or highly technical nuances that only a senior professional would know.
What is the workload like?
This is cognitive, deep work. Unlike simple data labeling, you might spend 45-60 minutes on a single task, researching citations or verifying complex calculations. Quality is prioritized over speed.
How soon will I start?
Important: Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue. Applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You will only start working when a specific client (like a major AI lab) selects your profile. This matching process can take weeks.
