Education Technology Expert

**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 education-technology professionals from **Fortune 500 ed-tech companies, large R1 universities, and major K-12 districts** to recreate the digital workspaces they run every day and design the tasks that genuinely challenge state-of-the-art AI. You'll bring your expertise in LMS administration, educational-product design, learning analytics, or district-wide ed-tech operations to build a high-fidelity environment that mirrors the tools, files, and workflows of modern ed-tech practice — and then author tasks grounded in the programs you actually run today. **Key Responsibilities** - Build a realistic digital workspace centered on the Drive folders you use day-to-day — the product specs, learning-design docs, assessment rubrics, engagement reports, integration plans, PD materials, and email threads that reflect how you actually organize your work — with some representation of the platforms that support it (e.g., Google Classroom, PowerSchool, Google Forms) - 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 education-technology 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 ed-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 **Ideal Qualifications** - 3+ years of full-time experience at a **Fortune 500 ed-tech company, R1 university, or major K-12 district / state-level education agency** - Background in one or more areas such as: - LMS administration and ed-tech integration - Educational product management, learning engineering, or instructional design - Learning analytics, assessment design, or adaptive-learning platforms - District-level ed-tech leadership - Compliance with student-data regulations (FERPA, COPPA) and accessibility (WCAG, Section 508) - Day-to-day use of Google Classroom, PowerSchool or Infinite Campus, and Google Forms - Strong analytical thinking and writing — able to translate ed-tech workflows into structured task specs **Compensation Note** - **Task Completion Pay:** Competitive and based on task quality (~$850 – $1,000 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.
