Japanese Music Expert

Japanese Music Expert

Mercor is hiring music experts for a frontier generative-music AI lab, working in Japanese.

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 Japanese, 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.
