More about the IT Services Consulting Expert role at Mercor

Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to engage experienced IT services and consulting professionals to improve AI systems' understanding of enterprise technology, digital transformation, and technical advisory workflows. Contributors will apply their expertise in areas such as systems integration, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, data engineering, and IT strategy to evaluate and enhance AI performance on technology consulting tasks. This is a project-based opportunity with potential for ongoing engagement depending on performance and project needs.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and evaluate AI-generated outputs related to solution architecture, technology recommendations, implementation planning, and technical documentation
• Create realistic scenarios based on IT consulting workflows — discovery workshops, requirements gathering, vendor evaluation, migration planning, and post-implementation review
• Annotate, label, and validate data across IT services use cases (e.g., cloud migration assessments, security posture reviews, infrastructure design, DevOps pipelines)
• Provide structured feedback on AI accuracy in areas such as enterprise architecture frameworks (TOGAF, Zachman), cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), security standards (NIST, ISO 27001, SOC 2), and ITSM practices
• Collaborate asynchronously with research teams to refine evaluation frameworks for technology-domain AI
  
  

Ideal Qualifications

• 3+ years of professional experience at an IT services firm, systems integrator, or technology consultancy (e.g., Accenture, Deloitte Digital, Infosys, Cognizant, Wipro, or equivalent)
• Background in one or more areas such as:
• IT strategy and digital transformation advisory
• Cloud architecture and migration (AWS, Azure, GCP)
• Cybersecurity consulting and risk assessment
• Data engineering, analytics, or AI/ML implementation
• Enterprise application consulting (SAP, Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday)
• Relevant certifications a plus (AWS SA, Azure Solutions Architect, CISSP, PMP, TOGAF)
• Strong analytical thinking and ability to translate technical consulting workflows into structured evaluation tasks
• Clear written communication and attention to detail
