Overview

Mercor is an AI research platform that hires contractors to help benchmark and improve AI models. This role involves completing real graphic design tasks on your own Mac while narrating your process to create training data for advanced AI systems.

What You’ll Do

Complete and narrate real graphic design tasks on your Mac
Create high-quality training data for advanced AI models
Clearly explain creative decisions while working

Requirements

Own a MacBook or Mac with Apple M-series chip or Intel processor running macOS 15 or higher
Proficiency in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Affinity, or Canva
2-3 years of professional or freelance design experience, or currently enrolled in postgrad design studies
Experience with branding, layout, typography, and visual communication
Portfolio (a plus)
Ability to clearly explain creative decisions
Excellent written and verbal communication skills

Who Should Apply

This suits experienced freelance or junior-to-mid-level designers who are self-directed, comfortable working alone, and genuinely interested in how AI training data is created. You'll thrive if you can articulate your design reasoning clearly and don't need the structure or pressure of a traditional full-time role. It will frustrate you if you need immediate feedback, mentorship, or a team environment — this is methodical solo work at your own pace.

Salary Insight

$50–$60/hour is fair for freelance design, though skewed toward the lower end for someone with 2–3 years of professional experience. This is a part-time commitment (10–20 hours/week), so total monthly income will depend on your availability. The hourly rate signals this is data-collection work rather than client-facing design; payment is weekly via Stripe or Wise with no mention of benefits, holiday, or long-term security.
