About the role
Mercor seeks specialists to assemble a panel of propulsion experts to red-team frontier AI models. You will craft prompts spanning benign, dual-use, and adversarial categories and assess model responses against policy standards.
The role emphasizes rigorous written justification and a clear reference answer with technical reasoning. Applicants should provide evidence of propulsion domain experience, hands-on hardware testing, and strong technical writing.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
