Code-Data Eval Author — Software Engineer (Pilot)

**Code-Data Eval Author — Software Engineer** (Mercor · remote contract) Mercor partners with frontier AI labs to build the evaluations their coding models are trained and measured against. As an eval author you'll write real engineering tasks, golden solutions, and test verifiers, and grade AI-agent work — you define what "correct" means for the next generation of coding models. **What you'll do** - Author non-trivial coding tasks with golden solutions and automated verifiers - Design rubrics and grade agent trajectories / model outputs - Improve task and rubric quality through structured review **You are** - ~5+ years of software engineering at a real product organization (big tech or venture-backed startup) - Strong code quality, systems design, debugging, and testing discipline - Clear written communication (you write instructions others follow) - Familiarity with AI coding tools / evals is a plus, not a requirement **Engagement & pay** - Remote contract, flexible 30+ hrs/week - Hourly rate set to your local market (e.g., US/Canada $90–120/hr; Europe and LatAm scaled to region) **Hiring process — paid** A short Mercor Technical Screen, a live Code Review Session, and a Domain Expert Interview.
