Industrial Hygienist / Process Safety Engineer
Neon
$65 – $75 · as listed
This remote gig invites an experienced industrial hygienist or process safety engineer to contribute to AI safety research. You'll write technical prompts that test how frontier AI models handle chemistry and chemical safety scenarios, evaluating whether they can distinguish between legitimate expert questions and requests with clear misuse potential. Your prompts will span difficulty levels and help red-team these systems before deployment.
The work is task-based and plays to your advanced expertise in STEM writing. You'll draw on real-world knowledge of industrial processes, hazard assessment, and safety protocols to create scenarios that genuinely challenge AI judgment. This suits professionals who understand both the legitimate technical landscape and its potential risks—and who can articulate that distinction clearly in writing.
Compensation ranges from $65–$75 per hour. The role is fully remote and flexible, structured as gig work through the Mercor marketplace.
From the listing: Mercor marketplace · task-based. ## About the work Mercor is assembling a panel of chemistry and chemical safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. The goal is to test whether a model can correctly judge the misuse potential of a technical request — answering legitimate questions fully while refusing genuinely dangerous ones. You will: - Write challenging single-turn prompts in your domain, labelled across three levels: b
