Job Description

Sales Engineering Expert evaluating pre-sales deliverables for Mercor’s AI research partnerships. Designing grading criteria and scoring technical sales work to improve frontier AI systems.

Responsibilities:

  • Define what excellent real-world technical sales work looks like for AI evaluation projects
  • Design precise, task-specific grading criteria for pre-sales and solutions-engineering deliverables
  • Evaluate technical discovery plans, tailored product demonstrations, proof-of-concept and technical evaluation plans, security questionnaires and RFP responses, integration/API/architecture explanations, and product-fit and technical-risk assessments
  • Score AI-generated and human work samples against grading criteria
  • Provide detailed written justifications for every score
  • Apply consistent, evidence-based judgment so scores are reproducible and defensible
  • Incorporate structured feedback from senior reviewers and iterate quickly
  • Work on projects focused on training and enhancing AI systems

Requirements:

  • 4+ years of relevant experience as a Sales Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Solutions Consultant, Pre-Sales Consultant, or Technical Sales Consultant
  • Deep fluency in pre-sales: leading technical discovery, translating customer requirements into product solutions, delivering tailored demos, handling technical objections, supporting proofs of concept, and evaluating product fit and technical risk
  • Hands-on experience with technically complex B2B software, including SaaS, cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data platforms, developer tools, or enterprise applications
  • Exceptionally strong written communication, with the ability to explain why technical work would or would not land with technical and business stakeholders
  • Detail-oriented, consistent, and comfortable having judgment reviewed and calibrated against peers
  • Prior experience with AI training, evaluation, or human-data projects is a strong plus
  • Independent contractor engagement
  • Must not require H1-B or STEM OPT support

Benefits:

  • Fully remote role
  • Flexible own schedule
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered
  • Projects may be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance
  • Competitive pay
  • Collaboration with leading researchers
  • Opportunity to help shape the next generation of AI systems
  • Up to $600 referral payment for each successful referral, with no referral limit (restrictions may apply)
