About this Role

From the Mercor listing

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.

A leading AI lab is building models that sharpen and upscale video, and it needs people who can tell, frame by frame, whether the result actually holds up. We are assembling a small group of reviewers with a rigorously trained eye, the kind that catches the compression artifacts, noise, aliasing, and softness that most viewers never notice. If you have spent years judging image quality at a professional level, this is that same skill applied to AI output.

1. Overview

A leading AI lab is building models that sharpen and upscale video, and it needs people who can tell, frame by frame, whether the result actually holds up. We are assembling a small group of reviewers with a rigorously trained eye, the kind that catches the compression artifacts, noise, aliasing, and softness that most viewers never notice. If you have spent years judging image quality at a professional level, this is that same skill applied to AI output. 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. Who We Are Looking For

We would love to hear from you if you have worked as any of the following: 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: used to running dailies and owning visual quality down to the pixel. Lighting Supervisor, Lead, or Artist: a specialist in illumination and the building blocks of digital video and cinematic motion. Colorist: deep experience in color grading, artifact detection, and visual consistency across a sequence. Director of Photography (DP) or Cinematographer: skilled at framing and at judging sharpness and detail in high-resolution images. Effects or Surfacing Artist: strong command of textures, materials, and complex visual simulation. High-End Photographer: a feel for lighting, depth of field, and color artifacts in high-resolution captures. Director: especially with experience directing crowd and background action. Digital Projectionist: a trained eye for final-output quality, screen-level fidelity, and visual anomalies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Mercor for freelancers or full-time contractors?

Mercor places you with one client for a defined engagement, like 'Python Tutor for 3 months', rather than having you grab small tasks from a shared queue. Most roles function as steady contract work, not one-off gigs.

Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?

Yes, every applicant records a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks questions about your resume. Clients review that recording to judge communication skills before matching, so there's no way to apply without going on camera.

Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?

No, applying and joining Mercor is free. Mercor's revenue comes from a fee it charges the client on top of your hourly rate, not from applicants. Treat any request for payment to join as a red flag.

What does task-based AI training work actually look like?

Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.

What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?

No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.

What does Generalist work look like for a Visual Quality Reviewer (Super Resolution)?

Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Visual Quality Reviewer (Super Resolution), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

Do I need to be fluent in English?

Yes. This role specifically requires English proficiency. You will likely be evaluated on written fluency during the assessment, not just conversational level. If English is not your first language or you are not professionally fluent, this is not the right role. Filter for your native language to find better-matched listings.

What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

You'll be taken to Mercor's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.

How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?

Not immediately. Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue, so applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You start working only once a specific client, like a major AI lab, selects your profile, and that matching process can take weeks.
