What the work is

Mercor is partnering with a leading legal AI company to benchmark how well AI systems answer real questions of Australian law. We are hiring experienced in-house counsel to serve as expert reviewers — running the same prompts through two AI platforms, comparing the answers, and scoring them against a standardized rubric.

  • Run the same set of prompts across two AI (LLM) platforms
  • Compare the outputs from both platforms side by side
  • Score each response against a standardized rubric we provide
  • Submit concise written feedback for every evaluation

Requirements

  • 5+ years as in-house legal counsel practising in Australia
  • Strong command of Australian law, especially commercial and contract matters
  • Sharp attention to detail and precise written English
  • Able to work independently to a rubric and to deadlines

Logistics

  • Initial commitment: ~10 hours, with strong potential for more
  • Confidentiality: all work is covered by NDA
