Job Description

Radiation Safety Officer red-teaming Mercor’s frontier AI models. Writing dual-use prompts and evaluating responses for radiological safety and misuse potential.

Responsibilities:

  • Write challenging single-turn prompts in radiological safety, labelled as benign, dual-use, or adversarial
  • Evaluate model responses against a defined policy standard
  • Judge whether responses handled legitimate and dangerous requests correctly
  • Write reference answers and explain the technical reasoning behind them
  • Distinguish routine professional questions from requests indicating misuse
  • Provide written rationales that non-specialists can understand
  • Read and write about misuse scenarios in radiological safety for sustained periods

Requirements:

  • Must have held the radiation safety officer licence, not merely worked under it
  • Experience as the person of record for acquisition, inventory, transfer, and disposal
  • Relevant background such as named RSO on a broad-scope licence, RSO or deputy RSO at a university, hospital, or research institute, industrial or irradiator RSO, licensing and compliance specialist, or radiation protection manager
  • Experience with radionuclide and sealed-source programmes, Category 1 and 2 sealed sources, radiography, gauging, sterilisation, licensing, regulatory submissions, amendments, inspections, ALARA, audits, training, and incident reporting, as applicable
  • Strong written communication; every judgment must include a rationale understandable to a non-specialist
  • Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience is strongly preferred
  • Must not draw on classified or export-controlled information, NDA-covered information, or prepublication review-obligation material
  • Must disclose any such obligations so the work can be scoped accordingly

Benefits:

  • Earn up to $250 for each successful referral through the unique referral link
  • Reasonable accommodations upon request
  • Ability to pause or step away from the work at any point without penalty
