Original posting from Mercor
Mercor is hiring highly detail-oriented Generalists on behalf of an AI lab to support human data pipelines used to train and evaluate advanced AI systems. This role is ideal for people who are extremely quality-focused, methodical, and take pride in producing consistently high-accuracy work.

- Follow complex guidelines precisely and apply them consistently across tasks

- Provide clear, structured feedback to improve downstream AI training quality
- Maintain high accuracy across repetitive, high-volume workflows
- Flag unclear instructions or ambiguous cases proactively
**What We’re Looking For**
- Exceptionally detail-oriented and quality-obsessed mindset
- Prior experience as a CB / reviewer / rater in human data or AI training pipelines
- Proven ability to follow nuanced instructions without deviation
- Strong written communication and reasoning skills
- High reliability, consistency, and comfort with repetitive precision work
- Ability to work independently and maintain focus over long task batches
**Nice to Have**
- Experience with large-scale AI data annotation or evaluation programs
- Background in QA, operations, trust & safety, or structured review work
- Familiarity with multi-step rubric-based evaluations
- Comfort giving calibrated feedback aligned with strict quality bars
**Why Join**
- Work directly on training next-generation AI systems
- Clear expectations and quality-first culture
- Long-term opportunity for consistent, high-quality contributors
