Job Description

Design Expert creating evaluation scenarios, prototypes, rubrics, and usability reports for Mercor, which partners with AI labs to train frontier models. Remote contract work across product design and AI-assisted development.

Responsibilities:

  • Construct scenarios spanning rapid prototyping and iteration cycles, design system development, and cross-functional product-design-engineering collaboration
  • Build tasks across AI-assisted application development, natural-language-to-code workflows, and rapid prototyping for the Vibecoding subdomain
  • Build tasks across UX/UI design, design systems and component libraries, user research, and usability testing for the Design subdomain
  • Develop scenarios using AI coding assistants such as Cursor, Claude Code, v0, and Replit
  • Develop scenarios using Figma, Framer, and design systems tooling
  • Apply iterative prompt-driven development methodologies for Vibecoding
  • Apply human-centered design principles and heuristic evaluation for Design
  • Produce reference prototypes, code artifacts, design specifications, and usability evaluation reports
  • Author rubrics distinguishing authentic senior-level product judgment from generic tutorial-level or template-driven work
  • Work on projects focused on training and enhancing AI systems

Requirements:

  • 5+ years working as a product designer, design lead, or AI-native engineer/vibecoder
  • Experience at a major product- or design-forward company, notable independent product builder, or startup product builder
  • Direct ownership of product design systems or AI-assisted development workflows shipped to production
  • Fluency in vibecoding or design tooling
  • Understanding of user-centered design principles and rapid prototyping practices
  • Portfolio of shipped work strongly preferred in place of a formal credential
  • Prior rubric, training, or design critique authorship is a plus
  • Independent contractor engagement
  • Must not require H1-B or STEM OPT support

Benefits:

  • Fully remote role
  • Flexible own schedule
  • Weekly payments via Stripe or Wise based on services rendered
  • Competitive pay
  • Collaboration with leading researchers
  • Opportunity to help shape the next generation of AI systems
  • Projects can be extended, shortened, or concluded early depending on needs and performance
  • Reasonable accommodations upon request
  • Referral payments of up to $320 for each successful referral, with no limit on referrals (restrictions may apply)
