This role is strictly limited to candidates who are native to Austria, Switzerland, or Germany and have lived in or spent significant time in the country, with deep familiarity with local language usage, tone, and cultural context (including distinctions such as Austrian German, Swiss Standard German, and Germany-specific conventions).

Establish high-level expectations for correct responses in Austria, Switzerland, and Germany consumer contexts, and develop comprehensive rubrics that account for linguistic nuance, tone, and cultural conventions specific to these regions. Run prompts through models and assess preliminary outputs for accuracy, fluency, and cultural fit in German, comparing results against English where needed. Collaborate in QA review processes to ensure prompt tasks and rubrics meet rigor—maintaining consistency and reliability across German-language benchmarks before integration into official evaluations.

Based in Austria, Switzerland, or Germany (or able to reliably produce country-specific, culturally accurate German aligned with one of these regions). Experience in teaching, research, editing, or academic writing. Experience creating evaluation criteria, rubrics, or grading guidelines. Familiarity with LLMs, prompting, or model evaluation (helpful but not required). Complete an AI-led interview (about 15 minutes). If approved, complete a paid assessment focused on writing and rubric creation Then, if selected, you will be invited to work on the project. Expect to contribute at least 20 hours per week.

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.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
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.
