I've been doing contract work through Mercor for 13 months — mostly stress-testing model responses, and a couple of AI safety-adjacent projects. Wanted to flag it here since I know this community has people with exactly the alignment/red-teaming background these roles want.

It's remote, and pays on a regular schedule. 

Two open roles right now:

• AI Safety Red Teamer — $70–84/hr 
  Job Listing: https://t.mercor.com/MjnPw
• AI Safety Practitioner — $60–70/hr
  Job Listing: https://t.mercor.com/YAAVK

Both are hourly, remote, and don't require you to relocate or commit full-time.

Heads up: that's my referral link, so I get a commission if you're hired through it.

Happy to answer questions about what the work is actually like if anyone's on the fence.
