Bilingual Vietnamese Generalist Expert — AI Safety | $18-$22/hr Remote
Overview
AI safety projects depend on people who understand culture and subtext. In this part-time remote role, you will craft expert-level prompts in Vietnamese around sensitive topics, then apply a set of structured rules to classify prompts and their replies. You will also detect adversarial phrasings and explain in clear English why they escalated. Mercor provides the workflow training, so no prior machine learning experience is required. Work starts immediately, and the team prefers candidates in Southeast Asia, though others can apply.
What You'll Do4
- 1Compose Vietnamese prompts on sensitive subject areas that push the model to respond safely.
- 2Apply the provided rating scale to each prompt and ensuing conversation.
- 3Detect adversarial phrasings and attempts to escalate topics into unsafe territory.
- 4Write down your classification rationale in English so reviewers can follow your thought process.
Requirements6
- 1Native or near-native written fluency in Vietnamese with strong command of nuance and tone.
- 2Business-level English proficiency for writing clear justifications.
- 3A bachelor's degree completed or in progress in any field.
- 4Attention to detail that catches subtle phrasings and context shifts.
- 5Judgment comfortable with sensitive or dual-use subject matter.
- 6Preferred: experience reviewing, grading, or red-teaming written content, or a background in trust and safety or content moderation.
Who Should Apply
The ideal candidate combines native-level Vietnamese writing with English clarity and a steady hand for uncomfortable subjects. You should feel confident judging where a prompt crosses a safety line and explaining that judgment in a few clear sentences. If you have prior exposure to content moderation, red teaming, or policy evaluation, that experience will strengthen your profile. This role is less suitable for people who struggle with strict guidelines or who lack confidence in their Vietnamese writing. Most applicants who score low fail because they submit generic writing samples or cannot articulate what makes a phrase adversarial.
Salary Insight
$18.00 to $22.00 per hour, paid hourly for part-time work. The amount lands within the typical band for remote freelance content evaluation assignments that require rare language skills. Your exact rate may depend on the quality of your writing samples and relevant trust and safety experience.
