1. Role Overview Mercor is collaborating with a
leading AI lab on a large-scale AI training initiative focused on
improving culinary reasoning, recipe generation, ingredient
knowledge, and culturally grounded food analysis in advanced
language models. We’re seeking experienced Food and Drink experts
to contribute by creating and evaluating food- and beverage-related
prompts and responses. This is a multilingual opportunity. We are
specifically seeking experts who are fluent and deeply engaged in
one or more of the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
Spanish, Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi.
Importantly, we are not looking for translation ability alone.
Candidates must have sustained, hands-on engagement with food and
drink within their linguistic and cultural context — including
familiarity with regional cuisines, cooking techniques,
ingredients, dining customs, beverage traditions, and culinary
terminology. This role is adecuado for serious home cooks, food
writers, culinary enthusiasts, mixologists, specialty coffee or tea
experts, fermentation hobbyists, or dedicated food community
participants who actively engage in culinary discourse in their
language ecosystem. 2. Key Responsibilities Author realistic food
and drink prompts spanning recipe development, technique
explanation, ingredient substitutions, regional cuisine analysis,
and beverage pairings Review and revise AI-generated responses for
culinary accuracy, cultural authenticity, clarity, and practical
feasibility Write high-quality human-authored “gold” responses for
nuanced cooking scenarios, dietary constraints, or culturally
specific dishes Create controlled prompt variations that test
subtle differences in ingredients, equipment availability, dietary
needs,



regional adaptations, or serving contexts Evaluate outputs
across different tones (instructional, conversational, technical,
editorial) and instruction constraints Identify model failure cases
involving incorrect techniques, unsafe food handling advice,
unrealistic substitutions, or culturally inaccurate representations
of cuisines 3. Ideal Qualifications 2+ years of sustained, serious
engagement with food and drink as a hobby or practice (e.g.,
cooking, recipe development, food writing, beverage crafting,
culinary content creation, participation in food communities)
Active participation in culinary discourse within at least one of
the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish,
Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi Strong familiarity
with regional cuisines, traditional techniques, ingredient
availability, and dining customs within your language and cultural
context Ability to clearly explain cooking processes, flavor
profiles, and beverage pairings in the target language Strong
written communication skills and thoughtful editorial judgment 4.

week 5. Application Process Submit your resume, portfolio, or
relevant culinary work to get started Complete a short form
