About the role
Mercor is assembling a panel of chemistry and chemical safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. You will write challenging prompts at three levels (benign, dual-use, adversarial) and evaluate model responses against a defined policy standard, providing a reference answer with technical reasoning.
This writing-intensive role requires the ability to articulate clear judgments about misuse scenarios in your field, and to share a rationale accessible to non-specialists.
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.
