Data Science Expert
Mercor
Verified listingOverview
Mercor partners with leading AI labs and enterprises to train frontier models using human expertise. This role involves evaluating AI-generated work products (slides, spreadsheets, and documents) for real-world quality, applying deep data science expertise to assess outputs and provide structured feedback.
What You’ll Do
- Evaluate AI-generated artifacts for usability in data science context
- Identify factual, aesthetic, and presentation errors
- Provide clear, structured written feedback
Requirements
- 5+ years of relevant professional experience in Data Science at a top firm in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand
- Native or professional fluency in English
- Highly proficient in Microsoft Office and Google Workspace (PowerPoint, Excel, Word)
Who Should Apply
This suits someone with deep data science experience from a recognized firm who enjoys detailed technical assessment work and can make crisp judgments on quality and presentation. It will frustrate anyone looking for collaborative problem-solving, mentorship opportunities, or full-time stability—this is pure evaluation work on your own schedule, and the contract nature means no benefits or guaranteed hours.
Salary Insight
$100–$150/hour signals reasonable pay for expert-level contract work, though the final rate depends on your background and will be negotiated. The wide range suggests it scales with seniority; entry to this band requires the 5+ years stated. No benefits or paid time off, so factor that into your hourly rate expectation.

Application Tip
Lead with a specific example of AI-generated or automated output you've had to assess or improve—ideally showing that you can quickly spot both subtle errors and presentation issues. These evaluators are hired for speed and judgment, not process; demonstrate that you trust your own technical eye. Mention any experience reviewing outputs across multiple modalities (documents, slides, spreadsheets), since the role spans all three.
