This role is with one of Micro1’s customers and involves working as a frontend developer using Swift and SwiftUI for iOS. The work is contract-based and part-time, fully remote. Your core responsibilities include designing and building application components in Swift, implementing new features, and testing alpha AI models inside Cursor — Micro1’s AI coding tool — during real development workflows. You will document issues you encounter, submit incident reports with bug traces and screenshots, and share findings with the research team via a dedicated Slack channel. You will also complete post-testing surveys to capture your impressions. The role requires 5 or more years of professional frontend or UI development experience with strong expertise in Swift, and the ability to deliver polished, pixel-perfect interfaces. Strong written English is important because your feedback on AI model behaviour needs to be clear and actionable. You are not just writing code — you are helping shape how AI coding tools perform in real iOS development contexts. Open source contributions or a strong GitHub portfolio are a plus, as is previous experience providing product feedback to engineering or research teams. The work is flexible and schedule is your own.

This is a part-time contract role working as a COBOL developer for one of Micro1’s customers, fully remote.

Mercor is hiring experienced Software Engineers for a short-term, high-impact project evaluating AI-powered CLI coding agents on real-world infrastructure debugging tasks. You will work on TerminalBench: broken infrastructure scenarios running inside Docker containers — databases, TLS, networking, security, and pipelines. For each task you use AI CLI coding agents (such as Claude Code, Copilot, or similar) to help diagnose and fix the problem, write a bash script that resolves the root cause and survives service restarts, then compare agent approaches and rank their performance. This directly informs product decisions at frontier AI companies. The role requires 3+ years of SWE experience with hands-on systems and infrastructure debugging, strong bash/shell scripting, Docker experience (you will use docker exec extensively), and familiarity with at least some of: PostgreSQL, MySQL, Redis, nginx, TLS, systemd, or log analysis. Experience with AI coding tools is a plus. Duration is 1–2 weeks, 15–25 hours/week (up to 40/week). Start date is immediate. Payment is weekly via Stripe or Wise. This is an independent contractor arrangement — not employment. Note: H1-B and STEM OPT candidates cannot be supported at this time. This role is on the Mercor platform, not Micro1.
