Nuclear Engineer — AI Safety Red-Teaming Specialist

Mercor; Paris; À distance; EUR 90 000 - 120 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Mercor is assembling a panel of nuclear domain 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 prompts, evaluate model responses, and draft reference answers with detailed reasoning to explain the decisions behind each result.

Qualifications

• This is writing-intensive work. Every judgment you make needs a written rationale that a non-specialist can follow. Prior technical writing, published research, or expert witness experience is a strong signal — please include a sample or link. You will also be reading and writing about misuse scenarios in your field for sustained periods.

Responsabilités

• Write challenging single-turn prompts in your domain, labelled across three levels: benign, dual-use, and adversarial.
• Evaluate the responses that come back against a defined policy standard, and judge whether each was handled correctly.
• Write the reference answer; what a correct response looks like, and the technical reasoning for why.
