About the role

Mercor is assembling a panel of nuclear materials and safeguards experts to red-team frontier AI models. The role focuses on writing challenging prompts across benign, dual-use, and adversarial levels, and evaluating model responses against a defined policy standard. You will also draft the reference answer with the technical reasoning, and ensure every judgment is accompanied by a clear rationale for 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.
