Radiological Security Red-Teaming Specialist

Mercor; United States; Remote; USD 110,000 - 150,000; Full time

Job summary

Mercor is assembling a panel of radiological safety experts to red-team frontier AI models, testing whether models correctly judge misuse potential of technical requests. You will write prompts at benign, dual-use, and adversarial levels and evaluate responses against a policy standard with a defined scoring rubric.

This is a highly writing-intensive role requiring precise reasoning and documented judgments. Prior technical writing or exposure to expert testimony is a strong signal for fit.

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.

Responsibilities

• Write challenging prompts in your domain, labeled across benign, dual-use, and adversarial levels.
• Evaluate model responses 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.
