Overview
Mercor seeks experienced music producers and audio engineers to judge generative music AI for a leading AI lab. You will compare AI-generated songs across genres, rate them against detailed quality standards, and work in both Korean and English. The job centers on musicality, prompt adherence, vocal quality, and production quality, not on creating new tracks. Most experts work around 20 hours per week, with flexible scheduling and an immediate start.
What You'll Do5
- Score pairs of AI-generated tracks against each other for musicality, creativity, prompt adherence, vocal quality, and mix quality.
- Tag each track with genre, song structure, instruments, vocal type, and other musical traits.
- Check AI lyrics and vocal performances against reference material and flag quality or accuracy problems.
- Apply a detailed quality rubric to AI music across many genres and assign clear ratings.
- Read written evaluation guidelines in English and complete assessments in Korean.
Requirements4
- Native or near-native Korean fluency.
- Ability to read and apply detailed written instructions in English.
- At least two years of work as a music producer, audio engineer, or mixing engineer.
- Access to headphones or studio monitors suitable for critical listening.
Preferred Qualifications3
- Formal training in music performance, theory, or composition.
- Credited production, engineering, or mixing work, including commercial releases.
- Broad knowledge of contemporary Korean genres, subgenres, and artists.
Who Should Apply
Korean-speaking music producers, audio engineers, or mixing engineers with at least two years of hands-on work and a critical listening setup. The role suits people who know contemporary Korean genres well and can judge AI-generated songs against detailed quality standards in both Korean and English.
