Job Description

Hazardous-device and public-safety professionals red-teaming Mercor’s frontier AI models. Writing dual-use prompts, evaluating responses, and documenting technically grounded reference answers.

Responsibilities:

  • Write challenging single-turn prompts in the hazardous devices/public safety domain
  • Label prompts as benign, dual-use, or adversarial
  • Evaluate model responses against a defined policy standard
  • Judge whether responses were handled correctly
  • Write reference answers and explain the technical reasoning behind them
  • Red-team frontier AI models for misuse-potential assessment

Requirements:

  • Background as a certified bomb technician or hazardous device operator, military EOD with civilian public-safety, training, or instruction experience, bomb squad commander or training officer, post-blast investigator/device reconstruction specialist, or CBRNE technical response professional
  • Experience assessing real hazardous devices, particularly on the render-safe and post-incident side
  • Ability to distinguish routine professional questions from potentially malicious requests
  • Strong writing skills and ability to provide written rationales understandable to non-specialists
  • Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience is a strong signal
  • Must not use classified or export-controlled information, NDA-covered information, or information subject to prepublication review obligations
  • Must disclose any such obligations so the work can be scoped accordingly

Benefits:

  • Up to $250 per successful referral
  • Reasonable accommodations upon request
  • Ability to pause or step away from misuse-scenario work at any point without penalty
