Mercor is partnering with leading AI labs to advance frontier agent evaluations in visual design. As a Visual & Brand Design Expert, you’ll build long-horizon design tasks that mirror the work you already do, each paired with a deterministic rubric that grades agent performance against verifiable ground truth (brand guidelines, accessibility standards, asset specs). Tasks need to have checkable answers; “which logo looks prettier” doesn’t qualify.

Expect to build scenarios across:

• Brand system enforcement: auditing assets against a defined guideline set for color, type, spacing, and logo usage
• Spec-driven asset production: outputs meeting required dimensions, formats, and element lists
• Accessibility and technical standards: WCAG AA contrast, font-size minimums, export specs, file size limits

These scenarios will be challenging and take long sessions of focus.

Who we’re looking for

• 3+ years in visual, brand, or marketing design
• Portfolio demonstrating brand systems and polished visual craft
• Expertise in one or more of the following: Figma production, Adobe CC (Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign), typography systems, brand guideline authorship, accessibility standards (WCAG)
• Comfortable reading and producing design artifacts: brand guidelines, asset specs, audit reports, accessibility annotations
• Clear written communication; can articulate reasoning step by step and encode it into deterministic rubrics
• Located in the United States or Canada

Compensation

$70–$95/hr depending on domain depth and prior experience. Strong contributors are promoted based on task quality and throughput.

We consider all qualified applicants without regard to legally protected characteristics and provide reasonable accommodations upon request.
