Overview

Mercor brings on Hindi and English speakers to sharpen how large language models handle sensitive material in Hindi. Your day centers on writing expert-level Hindi prompts, sorting conversations against a fixed set of annotation guidelines, and catching adversarial phrasing before it reaches a model. No AI or ML background is needed since the team trains you on the workflow from the start. The engagement is part-time and fully remote, with a stated preference for people based in South Asia.

What You'll Do4

Compose expert-level prompts in Hindi that probe sensitive subject areas models often mishandle.
Sort prompts and full conversations into the right categories using the project's written guidelines.
Spot adversarial wording and escalation patterns, then flag them for review.
Write up the reasoning behind each classification so reviewers can follow and audit your logic.

Requirements4

Native or near-native Hindi, plus written English strong enough for business communication.
A bachelor's degree, either completed or still in progress.
Clear written reasoning and close attention to detail.
Sound judgment about sensitive and dual-use information.

Preferred Qualifications3

Based in India or elsewhere in South Asia.
Prior work reviewing, grading, or red-teaming written or technical content.
Background in trust and safety, content moderation, policy evaluation, or adversarial testing.

Who Should Apply

Hindi speakers with sharp written English who want part-time AI safety work and do not need a machine learning background. A policy, moderation, or red-teaming history helps, along with comfort judging dual-use material.

Salary Insight

Pay runs $18 to $22 per hour, a band that lines up with part-time expert annotation and safety review work. Hours are part-time, so read the figure as supplemental income rather than a full-time salary.
