Remote Legal Technology Expert - AI Trainer

Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs on Project Atlas – an initiative to build realistic enterprise environments that frontier AI agents are trained and evaluated in. We're seeking experienced legal‑operations and legal‑technology professionals from AmLaw 100 firms, Fortune 500 in‑house legal departments, and major legal‑tech vendors to recreate the digital work spaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state‑of‑the‑art AI.

You'll bring your expertise in legal operations, e‑discovery, contract lifecycle management, and matter / spend management to build a high‑fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and cross‑functional workflows of a sophisticated legal department or law firm – and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today.

• Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day‑to‑day – the process maps, intake forms, matter‑management reports, CLM rollouts, e‑discovery plans, vendor‑evaluation decks, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work – with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., Icertis or Hot Docs, Relativity, Clio / MyCase)
• Design multi‑step tasks grounded in your real workflows that require navigating multiple apps, files, and stakeholders in a way that meaningfully challenges frontier AI agents
• Collaborate with other legal‑operations and legal‑tech experts in your field to design the environment, shape task scope, and review each other's scenarios for realism and rigor
• Work asynchronously with research teams to refine task designs and evaluation criteria for legal‑tech agent benchmarks
• Contribute to frontier AI research and benchmarking – the work you produce directly informs how leading labs train and evaluate the next generation of AI systems

• 3+ years of full‑time experience in legal operations or legal technology at an AmLaw 100 firm, Fortune 500 in‑house legal department, or major legal‑tech vendor
• Background in one or more areas such as:
  • Legal operations, process improvement, and legal‑spend management
  • E‑discovery and review workflows
  • Contract lifecycle management
  • Matter management and e‑billing
  • Legal intake, knowledge management, and enterprise‑wide legal program design
  • CLOC / ACC Legal Ops involvement a plus
• Day‑to‑day use of Relativity, Icertis, Hot Docs / Contract Express, and Clio / My Case
• Strong analytical thinking and writing – able to translate legal‑ops workflows into structured task specs

• Task Completion Pay :
  Competitive and based on task quality (~$1,750 – $2,150 per completed task, subject to change as the project evolves)
• Performance Bonus :
  Top performers receive a weekly bonus incentive on top of their per task rate!
• Hourly Opportunity :
  Top performers may be invited to transition to an hourly compensation model based on sustained quality and throughput.
