1. Role Overview

Mercor is seeking experienced Bilingual Software Engineers to support high-quality content across a range of AI training initiatives. This role involves creating image-based coding training examples — finding relevant images, writing prompts, and crafting ideal model responses — in both English and your native language.

We are looking for people who demonstrate strong programming ability across multiple languages, clear technical communication in two languages, and a meticulous eye for detail. This role requires consistent engagement and reliability over time.

Languages we are hiring for: Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, French, Chinese, and Russian.

2. Key Responsibilities

• Create high-quality training examples consisting of an image, a code-related prompt, and an ideal response

• Write, debug, and explain code based on visual inputs such as screenshots, error tracebacks, architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and UI mockups

• Generate working code from visual specifications including wireframes, UML diagrams, and system design sketches

• Identify and fix bugs shown in code screenshots and terminal output

• Write prompts and responses that sound natural and fluent in your native language — not translated from English

• Produce clean, well-commented code with proper error handling inside fenced, language-tagged code blocks

• Follow style guides, system prompts, and formatting requirements with precision

• Source appropriate images (code screenshots, terminal output, error tracebacks, architecture diagrams, flowcharts, UI mockups) that meet project quality standards

3. Ideal Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a closely related field

• Bilingual proficiency in English and one of the following languages: Arabic, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, French, Chinese, or Russian (native-level proficiency in at least one required)

• Proficiency in one or more popular programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, C, C++, HTML/CSS, or equivalent)

• Demonstrated professional or academic experience writing, reviewing, and debugging code

• Ability to read and interpret system architecture diagrams, flowcharts, and UI mockups

• Strong ability to explain technical concepts clearly in written form across both languages

• Extremely high attention to detail and ability to catch subtle bugs and logic errors

• Ability to work independently while maintaining consistent quality standards

• Reliable availability and consistent engagement

4. More About the Opportunity

• Minimum commitment: 20 hours per week

• Ongoing, consistent engagement expected

• Work involves creating and refining high-volume code-related content in a multilingual context

5. Application Process

• Submit your resume highlighting relevant software engineering and language experience

• Complete the attached required interview and assessment

• We aim to follow up within a few days with next steps
