About this role
From the Mercor listing
Finnish Music Expert
Mercor is hiring music experts for a frontier generative-music AI lab, working in Finnish.
We're looking for someone with formal musical training or professional experience — a degree in music, or a few years working as a musician, composer, transcriber, engineer, or teacher. You should have a strong ear: the hardest part of the work is transcribing a melody by ear with relatively accurate pitch and rhythm, and recognizing key, tempo, and time signature.
For Finnish, you also need strong fluency so you can accurately handle sung lyrics — including accents and less-clear delivery.
This is a pilot at 2–5 hrs/week, but it is very likely to expand, and high performers will be prioritized for the larger phases.
Requirements
- Fluent proficiency in English (Written & Verbal)
- Reliable high-speed internet connection
- Bachelor's degree or equivalent professional experience
- Demonstrated expertise in STEM

Common questions
Does Mercor's application require an on-camera interview?
Yes. You record a video interview with an AI interviewer that asks about your resume, and clients watch it before they hire, so plan to be on camera.
Does it cost money to apply to Mercor?
No, applying to and joining Mercor is free. Mercor charges the client a fee on top of your rate. If anyone asks you to pay to join, treat it as a scam.
Is research-level AI training steady work?
Usually not. Work comes in projects, such as training a model on quantum mechanics, that can last a few weeks. Plan for it like a short fellowship.
Is research-level AI training the same as data labeling?
It's closer to academic research. You write or check proofs, solve advanced problems and test the logic behind a model's step-by-step reasoning in your field.
What does STEM work look like for a Finnish Music Expert?
You check AI answers to STEM questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a Finnish Music Expert, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on STEM experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Finnish is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening to test for it.
How many hours per week does this role require?
Based on the listing, this role is scoped at 2–5 hours per week. Plan your week around it.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $50-70/hr, an hourly rate. Where you land in the range depends on your background and the assessment. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
Do I need to be fluent in Finnish?
Yes. This role needs fluent Finnish, as well as the English most AI training work uses. If you aren't fluent, search for roles in the languages you speak.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
Apply opens Mercor's site, where you create an account and follow its sign-up steps.
How soon will I start working after applying to Mercor?
Usually after a few weeks. Applying puts you in Mercor's pool of candidates, and you start once a client, such as an AI lab, picks your profile.
