AI Safety Chemist — Hazardous Chemistry Red-Teaming

Mercor

Mercor is assembling a panel of chemistry and chemical safety experts to red-team frontier AI models. You will write challenging prompts at three levels (benign, dual-use, adversarial) and evaluate model responses against a defined policy standard, providing a reference answer with technical reasoning. This writing-intensive role requires the ability to articulate clear judgments about misuse scenarios in your field, and to share a rationale accessible to non-specialists. #J-18808-Ljbffr Mercor
