About the Role
Mercor has thousands of users joining the platform each week to interview for different roles our clients have posted. When they run into issues or have questions and reach out for help, you will be responsible for giving them a speedy and delightful experience. You will work directly with our engineering team, triaging and investigating bug reports so being super savvy with modern websites and issues SaaS-type applications run into will come in handy. Since your conversations with the talent applying on our platform will often be the first interaction someone has with Mercor, maintaining an enthusiastic, upbeat tone while writing at native English level proficiency is important. We use a lighthearted and informal tone in our support communication while at the same time being very professional and precise in our replies.
Key Responsibilities
Investigate talent-reported issues end-to-end: reproduce bugs, identify root causes, and separate UX friction, model edge cases, and system defects. Debug across our AI + SaaS stack using telemetry, logs, network inspection, and database queries to understand production behavior. Triage with sound judgment — escalate true engineering issues and resolve others via configuration, prompt refinement, or clear user guidance. Surface systemic patterns and product risks to engineering and product leadership. Create clear documentation and runbooks to reduce repeat issues and improve resolution speed. Communicate with precision, professionalism, and empathy.

Qualifications
Ability to debug web applications, likely coming from either a Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field from a top-tier institution or prior experience at a high-growth technology startup. Experience building modern web applications (React, Node, Flask, Next.js, etc.) OR 2-5 years of experience supporting customers on such web applications. Comfortable with AI systems — you’ve played with LLMs, agents, or generative models. Experience exploring behavior of AI tools (fine-tuning, prompt chains, chain-of-thought debugging, or building agents). Ability to understand model outputs, failure modes, hallucinations, and feedback loops. Familiarity with how modern AI APIs work (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) or how agent frameworks (LangChain, AutoGPT, etc.) function is a plus. Mercor is at the intersection of labor markets and AI research. We partner with leading AI labs and enterprises to provide the human intelligence essential to AI development. Our vast talent network trains frontier AI models in the same way teachers teach students: by sharing knowledge, experience, and context that can't be captured in code alone. Today, more than 30,000 experts in our network collectively earn over $2 million a day. Mercor is creating a new category of work where expertise powers AI advancement. Achieving this requires an ambitious, fast-paced and deeply committed team. You’ll work alongside researchers, operators, and AI companies at the forefront of shaping the systems that are redefining society. Mercor is a profitable Series C company valued at $10 billion.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this for freelancers or full-time employees?
Both. Mercor tries to match you with clients who want long-term contractors. Unlike other platforms where you log in and grab small tasks, Mercor matches you with one company for a steady role (e.g., 'Python Tutor for 3 months').
I'm not comfortable on camera. Can I still apply?
No. The application requires a video interview with an AI avatar. The AI asks you questions about your resume, and the video is shared with potential clients to prove your communication skills.
Does it cost money to join?
No. You should never pay to join these platforms. Mercor makes money by charging the client a fee on top of your hourly rate.
What does the work actually look like?
It is practical, hands-on data work. You might be recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. The tasks are designed to be short and distinct—typically 5-60 minutes per task.
How flexible is the schedule?
Extremely. This is true "log in and work" flexibility. You can usually work for 20 minutes or 4 hours depending on your availability. There are rarely minimum hour requirements, making it ideal for side income.
Is there an interview?
Usually, no. Hiring for these roles is almost entirely based on passing an automated assessment or "qualification" task. If you pass the test, you get access to the work.
How soon will I start?
Important: Mercor is a talent marketplace, not a task queue. Applying puts you in a pool of candidates. You will only start working when a specific client (like a major AI lab) selects your profile. This matching process can take weeks.
