Software Engineer

Role

Mercor is hiring a Software Engineer to own core product delivery for an AI-native platform: foundations, integrations, real-time analytics, agentic tool integration architecture, and pilot launch support.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship production features across backend and frontend, owning end-to-end delivery.
• Design and implement a scalable integrations framework (connectors, event ingestion, sync, actions).
• Build real-time analytics experiences (live metrics, drill-downs, exports).
• Architect an agentic tool-use layer compatible with MCP-style patterns (tool registry, permissions, runtime, observability).
• Establish engineering hygiene: testing, observability, and on-call readiness for pilot launches.
• Iterate quickly and pragmatically while debugging and shipping with real users.

Requirements

• Strong, practical software engineering skills with the ability to ship end-to-end and self-unblock.
• Experience building SaaS products with APIs, data models, and production constraints.
• Deep comfort with integrations: OAuth2, webhooks, API pagination, rate limiting, and sync semantics.
• Familiarity with MCP-style tool interfaces and/or building tool servers.
• “Vibe coding” mindset: effective use of AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) to move quickly without sacrificing correctness; good judgment around tests, interfaces, and guardrails.
• Clear communication skills for explaining tradeoffs and aligning stakeholders.

Employment Note

Positions discovered through Mercor may be employed and administered by Cincinnatus, which provides W-2 employment, payroll, benefits, and compliance for these roles.
