Overview

Mercor seeks bilingual English and Portuguese speakers to review how advanced AI models handle sensitive subjects in Portuguese. You will write expert-level prompts, sort conversations under structured guidelines, and mark adversarial phrasings or escalation patterns with clear reasoning. The project starts right away, runs part-time, and follows a remote setup, with a preference for candidates in Portugal or Western Europe. You do not need prior AI or machine learning experience; training covers the workflow.

Who Should Apply

Portuguese speakers with strong written English who can reason through sensitive topics and explain their calls.
