Remote, Remote

Mercor is hiring software engineers to assist a leading AI research lab with environment setup and dependency management for open-source Python projects. Your work will focus on configuring development environments, resolving dependency issues, and ensuring tests pass across various codebases. This is a remote, flexible role.

More details about the role

• This project is focused on environment set up in Python. Given open-source GitHub repos, you will be asked to get the codebases up and running locally, with passing test cases.
• The project has a 2 week trial period up front to see if it’s a good mutual fit, and will extend beyond that based on performance.
• You will be expected to commit between 20-40 hours per week. The hours are fully flexible and the opportunity is remote.
• The application process is very simple: upload your resume, immediately take a 45-minute long interview (no wait), and then wait to hear back from us!

• Have expertise in both Python and Docker
• Are deeply familiar with setting up development environments (installing dependencies, upgrading/downgrading to the right version of Python)
• Have high attention to detail
• Have exceptional written and verbal communication skills
