Remote Social Work Expert - AI Trainer ($850-$1000 per hour)

Role Overview Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas — an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We’re seeking experienced clinical and macro social‑work professionals from large hospital systems, county departments of human/social services, and major nonprofit organizations (e.g., Catholic Charities, Red Cross, United Way, large behavioral‑health networks) to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state‑of‑the‑art AI. You’ll bring your expertise in clinical social work, case management, child or adult protective services, or community/policy social work to build a high‑fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and workflows of a modern social‑services organization — and then author tasks grounded in the cases and programs you actually run today. Responsibilities Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day‑to‑day — the case notes, assessments, service plans, referrals, progress reports, grant/outcome reports, program narratives, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., Apricot (Bonterra) or Salesforce Nonprofit, DocuSign, SharePoint). Design multi‑step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents. Collaborate with other social‑work experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other’s scenarios for realism and rigor. Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for social‑services agent benchmarks. Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking — the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems. Qualifications LCSW / LMSW / equivalent state licensure strongly preferred. 3+ years of full‑time experience at a large hospital system, county DHS/DCF, or major nonprofit/behavioral‑health organization. Background in one or more areas such as: clinical/medical social work (hospital, oncology, palliative, behavioral health); child or adult protective services/case management; school social work or juvenile‑justice social work; macro social work (policy, community organizing, program administration); substance‑use/mental‑health program operations. Day‑to‑day use of Salesforce Nonprofit / Apricot (Bonterra), DocuSign, and SharePoint / Box. Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate social‑work practice into structured task specs. Compensation Task Completion Pay: Competitive and based on task quality (~$850 – $1,000 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves). Performance Bonus: Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per‑task rate. Hourly Opportunity: Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput. #J-18808-Ljbffr
