Job Description

About the work /n

Mercor is assembling a panel of skilled video editors to build post-production tasks used to train and evaluate AI agents. Each task gives an AI agent what you'd hand a junior editor: source footage, a brief, and a deliverable spec, plus a hidden answer key or rubric so the finished video can be scored on the result, not on a text answer.

/n

You will:

/n

/n
/n

Contribute original footage you shot and fully own (or source openly licensed footage) and author realistic editing briefs from it.

/n
/n

Build each task end to end in your own editing software: cut, introduce defects or distractors where the task calls for them, and produce the reference edit a correct result is judged against.

/n
/n

Write the grading criteria — concrete, checkable standards with the editorial reasoning behind them.

/n
/n

Blind-solve tasks built by other editors and write up a step-by-step solution.

/n





Background we're looking for /n

/n
/n

5+ years editing professionally in film and TV, commercials, broadcast news, or creator and social production, owning deliverables end to end.

/n
/n

Fluent in at least one qualified editor (Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, Avid Media Composer), including basic color and audio cleanup.

/n
/n

Comfortable with delivery specs: resolution, frame rate, codecs, audio channel layouts and frame-accurate cuts.

/n
/n

Robust plus: a library of unpublished original footage you shot and fully own, with people on camera who will sign an appearance release. The more, the better.

/n

Before you apply /n

/n
/n

Not open to residents of California.

/n
/n

Expect about 12 hours/week.
