Multilingual Sports Expert
Mercor is collaborating with a leading AI lab on a large-scale AI training initiative focused on improving sports analysis, rule-based reasoning, and performance evaluation capabilities in advanced language models. We’re seeking experienced Sports experts to contribute by creating and evaluating sports-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 sports within their linguistic and cultural context — including familiarity with league structures, rules, player development systems, statistics conventions, media narratives, and fan communities.
This role is ideal for serious sports enthusiasts, analysts, commentators, bloggers, statisticians, fantasy sports players, or dedicated hobbyists who actively participate in sports discourse in their language ecosystem.
2. Key Responsibilities
Author realistic sports prompts spanning game rules, strategy analysis, player evaluation, statistics interpretation, historical comparisons, and league structures
Review and revise AI-generated responses for factual accuracy, rule compliance, contextual nuance, and clarity
Write high-quality human-authored “gold” responses for complex analytical or scenario-based sports questions
Create controlled prompt variations that test subtle differences in rules, scoring systems, player conditions, tournament formats, or historical eras
Evaluate outputs across different tones (analytical, commentary-style, instructional, data-driven) and instruction constraints
Identify model failure cases involving rule misinterpretation, statistical errors, outdated information, or culturally inconsistent sports knowledge
3. Ideal Qualifications
2+ years of sustained, serious engagement with sports as a hobby or analytical pursuit (e.g., sports writing, statistical analysis, coaching, competitive play, active participation in sports communities)
Active participation in sports discourse within at least one of the following languages: Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Russian, German, Arabic, Thai, Tamil, or Hindi
Strong familiarity with rules, league systems, player development pathways, and sports culture within your language and regional context
Ability to clearly articulate strategic reasoning, statistical insights, and rule-based analysis in the target language
Strong written communication skills and thoughtful editorial judgment
