Builders & Developers: Share Your AI Coding Sessions

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

• $200 per accepted session (about 50 turns, typically 2–3 hours of active work)

• Start: immediate
