About the job
Mercor is seeking a Senior Product Engineer to join their Studio Platform team. This role is critical as the Studio platform powers all workflows for generating, managing, quality-reviewing, and delivering data to leading AI labs. The engineer will own the end-to-end user journeys for the React frontend and the backend services that drive data pipelines and customer output delivery. This position requires a strong blend of engineering craft and product impact, focusing on shipping scalable, reliable systems and intuitive interfaces to enhance user efficiency.
Responsibilities
- Own the Studio platform across the full stack, including contributor-facing and operator-facing React interfaces, backend APIs, and pipelines for data ingestion, QA review, and AI lab delivery.
- Lead engineering best practices, setting standards for frontend architecture, component design, and performance.
- Build foundational layers to support new data types, task formats, and customer configurations rapidly.
- Ship high-leverage product features to improve throughput and quality in core data generation and delivery pipelines.
- Collaborate with Applied AI researchers, product, design, and operations to translate ambiguous requirements into technical solutions.
Requirements
- 5+ years of full-stack engineering experience building and shipping production software.
- Deep proficiency in JavaScript/TypeScript (React + Next.js) with a strong grasp of frontend architecture, state management, and design patterns.
- Solid backend experience in Python and/or Node.js, including designing and building relational databases, REST APIs, and async task infrastructure.
- Strong design sense and empathy for end-users, with a high bar for usability.
- Experience with complex, high-throughput systems (pipelines, large data volumes, or multi-tenant architectures).
- High ownership mindset, capable of navigating ambiguity and driving projects from design to delivery.
- Strong communication skills to articulate technical and product tradeoffs clearly.
