The role, as Mercor describes it

Mercor is recruiting UK-Based Data Engineering experts for a short, intensive project with a globally leading AI lab.

What the work involves

Those outputs are then logged and used to build the tasks and rubrics that train and evaluate frontier AI models, so your professional judgement is the core of what makes the work valuable.
