Role Overview

Mercor is partnering with a leading AI research organization to understand how people build with AI coding assistants. We're looking for builders with their own projects, from experienced developers to non-coders who build with AI, to do their normal work in OpenCode, a terminal-based coding assistant, while each session is recorded.

What You'll Do

  • Build or improve your own real project using the open-weight and Gemini models we provide
  • Choose which model to use for each task, and switch whenever you naturally would
  • Use one chat per task

Ideal Qualifications

  • Actively building a real project (side project, startup, app, or LLM-powered feature)
  • Uses AI tools to build, such as Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, Cline, Replit, or Lovable
  • Comfortable following simple terminal setup steps on Mac or Linux
  • Professional coding experience is welcome but not required; non-coders who build with AI are encouraged to apply

Project Details

  • Remote, flexible schedule
  • $500 per accepted session (about 50 turns, typically 2–3 hours of active work)
  • Start: immediate

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
