Web Design and Development Expert

Mercor is recruiting Web Design and Development Experts for research projects with leading AI labs.

These projects involve evaluating webpages' visual design and functionality. You are a good fit if you:

• Have had 3+ years work experience as a web app building expert, product engineer, UX designer, design engineer, or frontend engineer at (1) a major tech company or (2) a company with 50 employees that has consumer-facing web products
• Or have extensive and recent experience as an IC with recognizable tech companies for web dev
• Are proficient in React and Javascript
• Have hands-on experience with modern development practices and can provide strong, well-reasoned opinions on code quality and coding approaches
• Have an expert-level understanding of website design, aesthetics, and usability

Here are more details about the role:

• We are primarily looking for U.S., U.K., and Canada-based applicants but will consider top talent from other countries (please note that the $100+/hour pay scale is for U.S.-based applicants and that that scale will differ depending on where a candidate is geographically based - but pay will remain competitive for your geographic area)
• You will interface directly with prominent AI researchers from top labs
• The work is fully asynchronous and can be done around your schedule
• We expect a minimum commitment of 10 hours per week, but you can work up to 40 hours per week depending on quality of work
• This project is currently expected to last for at least one month but the expected timeline can change depending on the AI lab's needs. Projects with high performing experts are often extended
• Successful contributions increase the odds that you are selected on future projects with Mercor
• The selection process involves a ~20 minute virtual interview that assesses your knowledge of design principles and website functionality (e.g., usability, interactivity, and performance)

With respect to pay and legal status:

• We can meet industry-standard compensation expectations for your current role
• We will pay you out at the end of each week via Stripe Connect based on the number of hours you log
• You will be classified as an “at-will” contractor to Mercor
• Please note that we cannot currently support H1-B or STEM OPT status candidates
