Remote Underwriting Expert - AI Trainer ($70-$95 per hour)
What you'll do
Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in insurance underwriting. As an Underwriting Expert, you'll build long-horizon underwriting tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth. Tasks need to have checkable answers; no open-ended essays, no subjective judgment calls. Expect to build scenarios across the following areas:
Submission and triage – submission intake against appetite rules, risk classification, referral memos to senior underwriting against defined thresholds
Risk assessment and pricing – exposure analysis with ground-truth calculations, quote preparation against rating manuals, surplus lines processing against state rules
Issuance and brokerage – bind and issue prep with required documents, broker correspondence against playbook positions
These scenarios will be challenging and will require long sessions of focus.
Who we're looking for
3+ years in commercial, specialty, or personal lines underwriting at a carrier, MGA, or wholesale broker
Expertise in one or more of the following: a specific line of business (property, GL, professional, workers' comp, cyber, specialty), rating and pricing manuals, surplus lines and E&S processing, broker relationship management, an underwriting platform (Duck Creek, Guidewire, or carrier systems)
Comfortable reading and producing underwriting artifacts: submission packages, risk reports, quote letters, referral memos, bind documentation
Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
Located in the United States
Compensation: $70–$95 / hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.
