[LONG PROJECT] Anonymization Writer

Mercor Operations

Remote — United States only

About the role
We're hiring Writers on a contract basis for Project Sisyphus, a PII anonymization program. You work through business documents and structured records (CRM exports, email, tickets, chat logs, accounting data), deciding what is and isn't personal information, catching anything that was missed, and grouping related entities so the same person or organization is handled consistently. Reviewers check your work before it ships.

We are working to build a lasting team. This is an internal project that will run long into the future, and we want writers we can build lasting teams and structures around. Strong writers are the pool we promote reviewers from.

Scope of Work

Confirm, reject, add and correctly type PII across tasks that contain dozens to hundreds of individual decisions

Group related entities (people, organizations, contact details) into the right clusters

Find personal information that automated detection missed, and avoid tagging things that aren't personal

Apply guidelines that are updated several times a week, using the version in force on the day you work

Act on reviewer feedback quickly, and apply it across your other tasks rather than fixing one instance

Work asynchronously with a distributed team, and raise ambiguous cases in the project channel rather than guessing

What you'll bring

Able to commit 30+ hours per week, with this as your main project

Prior experience with AI data work (labelling, rating AI responses, or QA/review of AI outputs)

A sharp eye for detail across long, repetitive material, and the patience to double-check your own work

A track record in detail-heavy work such as operations, accounting, editing, design, compliance or account management

Comfort with rules that change frequently, and a habit of checking the current guideline before relying on memory

Takes feedback well and adjusts quickly

Ability to work entirely without AI assistance on task data

US-based, with excellent written English; reliable internet and a quiet, focused workspace

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with PII, privacy or data-protection concepts (what counts as an identifier, direct versus indirect identification)

Experience with medical record de-identification, copy-editing or paralegal work

Experience reading structured business data such as CRM, ticketing, email or accounting exports

Schedule and availability
30+ hours per week, with this as your main project. Long-running internal project; duration is not guaranteed.

Contract & Payment Terms

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.

You will be engaged as an independent contractor.

This is a fully remote role that can be completed on your own schedule.

Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance.

Your work at Mercor will not involve access to confidential or proprietary information from any employer, client, or institution.

Payments are weekly on Stripe or Wise based on services rendered.

Please note: We are unable to support H1-B or STEM OPT candidates at this time.

This role is open to people based in: United States.
