Overview

Mercor partners with a leading AI lab to test generative music models, and this role puts your ear at the center of that work. You listen to AI-generated tracks across many genres, then score them against detailed quality standards in Hindi and English. Reviews cover vocal quality, mix quality, creativity, and how closely each track follows its prompt. The project starts right away and runs up to six months, with most experts logging around 20 hours per week on a flexible schedule.

What You'll Do5

Compare pairs of AI-generated songs on musicality, creativity, prompt adherence, vocal quality, and production and mix quality.
Tag each track by genre, structure, instruments, vocal type, and other musical characteristics.
Check AI-written lyrics and sung vocals against reference material for accuracy and quality.
Apply the lab's written scoring standards to every track you review.
Work in Hindi and English as you move through review batches and instructions.

Requirements7

Native or near-native Hindi, plus enough English to follow detailed written instructions.
2+ years of hands-on work as a music producer, audio engineer, or mixing engineer.
Headphones or studio monitors you trust for critical listening.
Availability to complete a Bilingual Competency Interview in Hindi during application.
Nice to have: formal training in music performance, theory, or composition.
Nice to have: credited or commercially released production, engineering, or mixing work.
Nice to have: broad familiarity with contemporary Hindi genres, sub-genres, and artists.

Who Should Apply

Producers and mixing engineers with at least two years in the studio, strong Hindi, and a sharp ear for vocals and mix balance. Bonus points if you have released or credited work and know contemporary Hindi genres inside out.

Salary Insight

Pay runs from $14 to $42 per hour, a wide band that reflects how much weight the lab gives your experience and credits. The engagement starts hourly, and if the project moves to per-task pay your effective hourly rate stays the same. Expect the upper end to favor producers with released work and fluency across Hindi genres.
