Have you personally trained, fine-tuned, or optimized machine learning models?
Mercor has a remote opportunity for experienced ML Research Engineers, Research Scientists, and Applied Scientists.
The project involves designing challenging ML engineering problems for a leading AI lab.
Your main responsibility is to develop task ideas that test the limits of frontier AI models, rather than implementing the tasks yourself.
What you'll work on:
- Design challenging ML engineering tasks.
- Focus on inference, evaluation, and systems problems.
- Identify weaknesses in frontier AI models.
- Explain why proposed tasks are technically difficult.
Who qualifies?
Candidates must have current or recent ML research experience and hands-on expertise with PyTorch or JAX.
Strong knowledge in at least one of the following areas is required: LLMs, GPU inference, reinforcement learning, or scientific ML.
Experience developing AI benchmarks, research publications, or advanced academic qualifications is an advantage.
Pay: $150-$200/hr
Location: Remote
Type: Hourly contract
Note: This is not intended for general AI annotators or developers whose AI experience is limited to RAG/LangChain applications.
