Full Job Description
About the Role

As a Member of Technical Staff of the talent experience team, you'll be a generalist full-stack engineer supporting execution across Mercor's talent experience product horizon-wherever the highest-leverage work is.

Mercor ships fast across multiple product surfaces used by tens of thousands of AI experts and the world's leading AI labs. You'll be the engineer teams can rely on to parachute into a product area, ramp quickly, and deliver polished, customer-facing experiences-with a lean toward frontend craft while remaining effective across the full stack.

You'll join a small, high-velocity engineering team with significant ownership. From your first week, you'll ship production code, contribute to technical decisions, and work directly with product leaders across the organization. This role rewards versatility: the engineers who thrive here get energy from context-switching, learning new domains fast, and raising the quality bar everywhere they go.

What You'll Do
  • Design, build, and ship high-quality full-stack product features across multiple product areas.
  • Build polished, intuitive user interfaces using modern frontend frameworks, with strong attention to UX detail.
  • Own features end-to-end-from product discussions and technical design to implementation, testing, and release.
  • Move between product areas as priorities evolve, ramping quickly on unfamiliar codebases and domains.
  • Collaborate closely with Product, Design, AI, and Backend Engineering to deliver customer-facing experiences.
  • Build reusable components and contribute to shared frontend patterns and design systems.
  • Leverage modern AI coding tools to accelerate development while maintaining a high engineering bar.
  • Solve real customer problems and continuously improve expert and customer experience.


What We're Looking For
  • 2-5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production web applications.
  • Strong proficiency in modern frontend development (e.g. React, TypeScript) with genuine care for UI polish and user experience.
  • Solid full-stack capability-comfortable building and consuming backend APIs and working with production databases.
  • Track record of shipping across multiple product areas or codebases; you ramp fast and thrive on variety.
  • Comfortable building products using modern AI development tools (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or similar) to accelerate software development.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals, including testing, debugging, and performance optimization.
  • Excellent product intuition-you enjoy building products that people actually use.
  • Comfortable working in fast-moving environments with evolving priorities.
  • High ownership, curiosity, and a bias toward shipping.


Why this role matters
  • Impact: Ship customer-facing products across Mercor's entire portfolio and directly shape the future of the AI workforce.
  • Ownership: Join a small, high-velocity engineering team where you'll own features end-to-end and influence product direction from day one.
  • Learning: Unusual breadth-work across products, teams, and domains alongside world-class engineers and AI researchers.
  • Growth: Rapid career progression with opportunities to expand ownership as the product portfolio and engineering organization scale.


Benefits
  • Bi-annual performance bonus structure
  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
  • Up to $15k Relocation bonus
  • $10K proximity bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
  • $1.5K monthly stipend for meals
  • Free Equinox membership
  • $200 monthly laundry reimbursement
  • $200 monthly personal wellness reimbursement
  • Health, Dental, Vision insurance
