Mercor is seeking detail-oriented annotators to contribute to a high-impact video AI research project with a leading lab.

This is a short-term, flexible opportunity for professionals with strong academic backgrounds and a knack for instructional clarity.

Job details

  • Evaluate paired video outputs: watch two short clips side by side and compare them against a rubric across dimensions such as prompt adherence, motion quality, visual artifacts and physical plausibility.
  • Score and justify preferences: assign rubric scores to each clip, select an overall preference and document a brief written justification where prompted.
  • Maintain scoring consistency: apply the same standard across high task volumes so judgments stay reliable and comparable throughout a production run.
