Machine Learning Engineer

Machine Learning Engineer – Remote (Hourly Contract) 🇺🇸 💰 $100–$120 per hour 🕒 Project-Based | Fully Remote If you’ve actually built, trained, debugged, and optimized ML models in the real world — not just notebooks for demos — this is for you. Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to evaluate frontier machine learning systems. The goal? Turn real ML engineering workflows into structured evaluation benchmarks for advanced AI models. This is deep, technical work. Not surface-level. 🚀 What You’ll Be Doing • Design detailed evaluation suites for ML engineering tasks • Translate real-world ML workflows into structured benchmarks • Assess AI-generated solutions across: – Model training – Debugging – Optimization – Experimentation • Evaluate system design trade-offs and reasoning quality You’ll help define what “good ML engineering” actually looks like — and test AI against that standard. 🧠 What They’re Looking For ✔ 3+ years in ML engineering or applied ML research ✔ Strong hands-on experience with model development and experimentation ✔ Background in ML research (industry lab or academia preferred) ✔ Ability to reason about ML architecture decisions and trade-offs ✔ Clear technical writing and strong attention to detail This is for engineers who think in gradients, trade-offs, and system design — not just APIs. 💼 Engagement Model • Independent contractor • Fully remote, flexible schedule • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise • Project scope may expand or conclude based on needs • H1-B / STEM OPT not supported If you enjoy dissecting ML systems and pushing the boundaries of model evaluation — this is your lane. 📩 Apply via the link.
