Job description

About the Role

This opportunity is with Mercor, a company that links highly skilled creative and technical professionals with top AI research teams. The firm is based in San Francisco and is backed by investors such as Benchmark, General Catalyst, Peter Thiel, Adam D'Angelo, Larry Summers, and Jack Dorsey.

Position Overview

The role is for AI Safety Experts working in English and Kannada. It is a contract position offered remotely.

What You’ll Do

  • Stress-test conversational AI systems and agents by looking for jailbreaks, prompt injection paths, misuse scenarios, and ways bias can be exploited.
  • Create reliable human-labeled data by recording failures, tagging vulnerabilities, and highlighting broader risk patterns.
  • Use structured taxonomies, evaluation benchmarks, and playbooks to keep testing consistent and repeatable.
  • Prepare clear documentation, including reports, datasets, and attack examples that can be used by customers to take action.

Required Qualifications

  • Strong fluency in both English and Kannada is mandatory.
  • Previous experience in AI red teaming, adversarial security work, cybersecurity, or socio-technical probing is required.
  • You should be able to explain complex risks clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Preferred Background

  • Experience in adversarial machine learning, cybersecurity, or socio-technical risk assessment is an advantage.
  • Background in creative probing disciplines such as psychology, acting, or writing will be considered a plus.

Application Process

The application is expected to take about 20 to 30 minutes and includes three steps: submitting a resume, completing an AI interview based on that resume, and filling out a form.

Support and Additional Information

For interview process details and platform guidance, applicants are directed to the company’s documentation. Support is available through the company’s help contact.

Note

The hiring team reviews applications every day. Candidates must finish both the AI interview and the remaining application steps to be considered.
