**About the Role**
\- Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research lab to support a Frontier Code Agents project.
\- Contributors help evaluate and improve frontier AI coding models through structured technical assessments.
\- The work focuses on realistic software engineering workflows and model evaluation rather than traditional software development.
\- Spots are limited and filling quickly on a first come, first serve basis.
**What You'll Do**
\- Use frontier AI coding agents to complete and evaluate complex engineering tasks.
\- Review model-generated code for correctness, quality, maintainability, and performance.
\- Identify bugs, edge cases, and failure modes in model outputs.
\- Compare outputs from multiple frontier models and assess their strengths and weaknesses.
\- Apply professional engineering judgment to realistic backend engineering scenarios.
**Time Commitment**
\- Sprint based project that runs in 12-24 hour stretches based on client requirement.
**Compensation**
\- $400 per accepted task.
\- Typical tasks take approximately 2–3 hours after ramp-up.
\- Compensation is tied to accepted work.
**Who Should Apply**
\- 2+ years of professional backend engineering experience.
\- Experience building APIs, distributed systems, microservices, backend platforms, or databases.
\- Regular use of AI coding agents such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Windsurf, Gemini CLI, or similar tools.
\- Ability to evaluate model-generated code and identify bugs, edge cases, and architectural tradeoffs.
\- Experience working on large-scale production systems is preferred.
