About the role

Mercor is seeking senior civic and public administration professionals to build evaluation tasks for AI systems operating in large government and public-sector contexts. The role emphasizes high-stakes regulatory and legislative environments across federal, state, and municipal levels. You will design scenarios, draft reference outputs, and write rubrics that capture how senior government and civic leaders think, ensuring authentic judgment over rote recall.

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.
