Expertise: AI Training

Expert Interviewer

Support a high-priority technical-expert panel for a frontier AI lab as an Expert Interviewer. We’re seeking an experienced interviewer to help vet shortlisted engineers across GPU kernel development, security & vulnerability research, and ML-compiler / accelerator domains for an AI model training-and-evaluation engagement. You’ll run short, structured interviews and give our team a clear, evidence-based read on each expert’s fit.

Trainium (NKI) Kernel Expert

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and hardware-appropriateness of Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) development tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess CUDA→NKI migration fidelity, Trainium-specific performance-optimization quality, and cross-platform numerical-correctness standards — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 2+ years of hands-on experience developing or optimizing kernels using the Neuron Kernel Interface (NKI) targeting AWS Trainium/Inferentia2 hardware • Strong understanding of NKI-specific development patterns:

Spanish Tutors

Mercor is partnering with a leading language-learning platform to recruit experienced Spanish tutors for a short-term project involving recorded, one-on-one tutoring sessions. Tutors will conduct genuine Spanish lessons with native English-speaking learners at different proficiency levels. The goal is to produce natural, high-quality conversations that reflect authentic language-learning experiences.

AWS Serverless & Infrastructure-as-Code Task Auditor

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and cloud-architecture soundness of AWS serverless and infrastructure-as-code tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess multi-service serverless designs, IaC fidelity, and cross-service integration correctness — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years hands-on experience building multi-service AWS serverless applications (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB/Streams, S3, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, Step Functions) • Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM) • D

Kubernetes Task Auditor

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and production-readiness of Kubernetes tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess cluster-operations scenarios, manifest correctness, and failure-mode troubleshooting — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years hands-on production Kubernetes experience (EKS/GKE/AKS or self-managed) • Deep understanding of cluster internals: CNI/DNS/ingress, PV/PVC storage, RBAC, and failure modes (CrashLoopBackOff, OOMKilled, scheduling/eviction) • Experience authoring and reviewing manifests / Helm chart

ML Challenge Task Auditor

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and methodological rigor of applied machine-learning tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess experiment design, model-selection reasoning, and evaluation methodology — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years hands-on applied/experimental ML (experiment design, model selection, hyperparameter tuning, evaluation methodology) • Strong grasp of data-quality rigor: leakage detection, metric gaming, and train/test/CV hygiene • Proficiency with standard ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, s

SWE-Bench Task Auditor

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and reproducibility of software-engineering benchmark tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess repository-level tasks, reference patches, test harnesses, and grading integrity — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years professional software engineering • Real open-source contribution or maintainer experience (merged PRs, committer / maintainer roles) • Strong ability to audit reference patches, test runners, and Docker isolation, and to detect answer leakage / reward hacking • Fluency

Electrical Design Specialist

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Electrical Design Specialists for a short-term project. Specialists will apply their hands-on industry experience to analyze, evaluate, and solve complex electrical design and system-level engineering problems across a range of applications. Develop, analyze, and evaluate electrical designs based on technical requirements, specifications, and system performance.

Radio Frequency and Electromagnetic Engineering Expert

Mercor is partnering with a leading technology organization to recruit experienced Radio Frequency (RF) and Electromagnetic (EM) Engineering Experts for a short-term project. Experts will apply their hands-on industry experience to analyze and solve complex problems involving RF systems, electromagnetics, antennas, propagation, and related engineering applications. Solve complex technical problems involving RF and electromagnetic engineering.

AI Developer Trace Task Auditor

Evaluate the quality and correctness of AI-assisted software-development traces used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab’s models. You’ll assess end-to-end coding sessions produced with AI-assisted developer tools — judging correctness, workflow soundness, and reasoning — and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback. Basic Qualifications • 3+ years professional software development • Hands-on experience with AI-assisted coding tools and agentic / spec-driven workflows (Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or similar) • Strong code-reading and debugging skills across full-stack or backe
