Bilingual Chinese Generalist Expert — AI Safety | $48-$52/hr Remote
Overview
Mercor is hiring a bilingual Chinese-English speaker to bolster AI safety around sensitive topics. Your tasks: compose expert-level prompts in Chinese, apply standardized classification rules, and flag adversarial phrasing. No prior ML expertise is required, and the training is comprehensive. The role is remote, part-time (around 7 hours weekly), and open for immediate start.

- 1Compose expert-level prompts in Chinese that explore sensitive subject areas.
- 2Use the structured classification rules to label prompts and conversations.

Who Should Apply
Someone with near-native Chinese who can write about fragile topics without hesitation fits here. You'll need comfort with sensitive and potentially harmful content, so if that makes you uneasy, this role isn't suitable. Candidates often get passed over when their Chinese writing samples lack nuance, or when they rush through classification and miss subtle adversarial phrasing. No AI experience is needed, but a clear, structured approach to written reasoning is essential.
Salary Insight
The pay is $48–$52 per hour. For a part-time remote language role with no required AI background, this rate is notably higher than typical gigs in the field, reflecting the need for strong judgment and fluency. The hourly range suggests they're willing to pay for quality, even without prior industry experience.
