What this role involves
Mercor is hiring musician-transcribers to transcribe AI-generated songs into MIDI for a frontier generative-music AI lab. You'll transcribe the lead vocal melody of a track — note by note (pitch, start time, duration) — using MuseScore (free, open-source; piano-roll view + native MIDI export). This is a single-line, monophonic transcription task; full multi-track transcription is a later expansion.
