Generalist Researcher
Mercor
$20 – $30/hour · as listed
Mercor is looking for a Generalist Researcher to help build evaluation frameworks for multimodal search systems. In this remote role, you'll review diverse visual and textual content—including photos, screenshots, documents, and conversations—to establish what constitutes a correct answer. Rather than scoring responses yourself, you'll develop clear scoring standards that define accuracy criteria, ensuring consistency across evaluation efforts.
Your main tasks involve identifying specific entities like names, titles, product models, venues, and public figures from various media types. You'll transcribe factual information and data points with precision, then translate these observations into detailed answer keys and scoring guidelines. This work suits detail-oriented beginners comfortable with systematic analysis and structured documentation.
This is a remote, hourly position offering $20–$30/hour on a flexible basis. It's ideal for those interested in AI training and data work who can commit to consistent hours while building foundational experience in AI evaluation processes.
