Expert Interviewer | $50-$60/hr Remote
Overview
Mercor supports a frontier AI lab's high-priority technical-expert panel. The interviewer in this role vets shortlisted engineers across GPU kernel development, security & vulnerability research, and ML-compiler / accelerator domains. You run structured 20-minute interviews, score each candidate against a rubric, and provide an evidence-based read. The engagement is part of an AI model training-and-evaluation effort and operates 100% remote.
What You'll Do4
- 1Conduct 20-minute structured interviews with shortlisted experts, evaluating technical depth, communication, and fit for AI evaluation using the supplied rubric.
- 2Verify each expert's availability, work authorization, and exclusivity status, then flag any concerns.
- 3Assign each candidate a tier (advance, hold, pass) and summarize the reasoning for the program team.
- 4Manage scheduling for interviews inside standard weekday business hours.
Requirements4
- 1Proven experience in recruiting, interviewing, or technical vetting, with confidence assessing senior engineers.
- 2Excellent communication and structured judgment, with the ability to keep conversations warm, professional, and on schedule.
- 3Availability during weekday business hours.
- 4Reliable commitment of about 10 hours per week, 100% remote.
Who Should Apply
The right fit is an interviewer with a track record in recruiting or technical vetting who can hold a structured, timed conversation with senior engineers. You should feel comfortable making judgment calls on technical depth and communication against a rubric. The role works for someone who can commit 10 weekday hours on a consistent remote schedule. Less suitable for people who prefer open-ended talks, lack weekday availability, or have no experience assessing engineers. Common rejection reasons include no prior vetting background and an inability to keep interviews within the 20-minute window.
Salary Insight
Pay is $50-$60 per hour. For a part-time remote interviewing role, this rate often matches a senior technical vetting or recruiting background.

VerifiedRemote Survey Research Expert for AI Evaluation
Mercor is connecting you with a leading AI research organization that needs seasoned survey professionals to evaluate its surveys for methodological quality. You will examine question wording, response scales, and sampling approaches, and articulate why certain designs yield unreliable or biased data. This remote, hourly role suits practitioners from market research, consumer insights, behavioral science, and related fields who have designed and fielded surveys in real projects. Your critical eye will help improve how AI systems think about research design and evidence quality. Candidates with hands-on experience at research agencies or internal insights teams will feel at home.
Mercor
VerifiedGPU Kernel Expert
This remote contract role puts you inside the evaluation loop for GPU/accelerator kernel tasks generated for a frontier AI lab. You will review assignments built on CUDA, Triton, NKI, and Pallas, checking whether they are numerically sound, correctly scoped, and safe to run. Your written, rubric-based feedback helps decide which tasks are used to train and evaluate the lab's models.
Micro1
VerifiedEvaluation Specialist for AI Training and Research
Remote contractor role for Evaluation Specialists or Recent Grads who will help train next‑generation AI systems. You will craft original QA pairs, perform rigorous source triangulation, and create multi‑step questions that require synthesis. The project emphasizes high-quality, real‑world input to influence how models learn, reason, and perform. Prior AI experience isn’t required; deep domain knowledge matters and it’s welcomed.
Micro1
VerifiedAI Engineer
micro1 hires software engineers to build evaluation environments that push AI systems into realistic engineering workflows. As a remote contractor, you set your own schedule at roughly 15 hours per week and focus on one thing: creating reinforcement learning environments that force an AI model to use Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools while solving bugs, implementing features, or refactoring code. Each environment needs deterministic verification and a golden reference solution so results are measurable and repeatable. Prior AI experience isn't required; your coding background and judgment are what the project needs.
Micro1
VerifiedAi Domain Expert Focused on Domain Knowledge and Evaluation
Remote, part-time contractor role focused on guiding AI systems through real-world input. You’ll review AI outputs for accuracy, craft prompts that test reasoning, and provide precise written feedback to improve model performance. Your domain knowledge matters most, even if you’re not required to have AI prior experience. You’ll join a global, distributed team and help shape how models learn and reason. Bolded areas reflect core competencies like data annotation, prompt engineering, and ethical awareness in AI.
Micro1
VerifiedAI Software Engineering Domain Expert
Remote, part-time contract work with micro1 where you apply deep software engineering knowledge to help train next-generation AI systems. You’ll review and polish AI-generated technical content, refine prompts, and judge model outputs using rubrics to ensure accuracy and quality. The role centers on drafting and editing technical docs, architecture plans, RFCs, and design specs that feed AI training, plus independent research and data annotation. Strong writing and a solid engineering background are essential, and you’ll collaborate asynchronously with project leads to meet deliverables.
