Task Writer

Mercor Contract, part-time 30 openings Posted 2 weeks ago US, UK, EU, CA, AU, NZ

Role details

About the project Agentic-MME tests whether AI models can investigate an image rather than just look at it. To solve a task, the model has to crop, rotate or enhance the image so a small detail becomes readable, then search the web for a fact, and then check each against the other before answering.

What you'll do

  • Use high-resolution images where the key detail is small or degraded to test frontier AI models on the raw image and find what they miss, then build tasks around those gaps

  • Write realistic prompts that need image work and at least one web search

  • Record the shortest solution path step by step, with the image operations used and a credible source for each search

  • Give one exact golden answer, a clear answer format and any accepted variants

What we're looking for

  • Strong attention to detail

  • Excellent writing skills

  • Skill at web research, with a habit of using primary, authoritative sources

  • Advanced degree holders

  • Experience working on rubrics is a plus but not a must-have
