What this actually is
You bring your specialist expertise to AI evaluation. The shape of the work varies but the pattern is the same: review outputs, rate quality, write prompts, flag errors. The platform title (Application Users - Linux Ubuntu 24.04 Expert - Professionals) reflects the rate band and the expertise required, not the day-to-day work.
How Mercor picks people
- Upload your CV and answer the role's written questions.
- Do a video interview with Mercor's AI interviewer. Most take about 20 minutes, in English unless the role says otherwise.
- Some roles add a skills test. A test you pass once counts for similar roles.
- The project team reviews your results and sends offers to the people it picks.
Before you start
- Take Mercor's free practice interview first. It does not count toward any application.
- Use Chrome on a computer with a camera and microphone, in a quiet room.
- You can retake an official interview up to 3 times, but hiring teams see how many times you retook it.
Not every applicant gets an offer. Prepare well for the interview.

**Overview**
We're looking for professionals with hands-on, real-world experience in specialized applications.
Application Expertise and Access
You must already be running Linux Ubuntu 24.04 as your own day-to-day desktop operating system, and be able to work in it today. We do not provide software licenses, virtual machines, or hardware.
Operating Systems
\- Linux Ubuntu 24.04 - as your primary desktop OS
\---
About These Applications
Linux Ubuntu 24.04 | The Ubuntu desktop itself - the GNOME environment, Files, Settings, the terminal and package management | Linux desktop users, sysadmins, DevOps and open-source developers |
**Technology Requirement**
Must be able to capture screenshots with more than 2.5 megapixels. Satisfy this in either of two ways.
Option A - a single high monitor. Any of these aspect ratios, at or above the resolution shown:
4:3 | 1826 × 1370 | 2048×1536
16:9 | 2109 × 1186 | 2560×1440 (QHD) · 3840×2160 (4K) · 5120×2880 (5K)
16:10 | 2000 × 1250 | 2240×1400 · 2560×1600 · 2880×1800
3:2 | 1937 × 1291 | 2160×1440 · 2256×1504 · 2736×1824 · 3000×2000
21:9 (ultrawide) | 2416 × 1036 | 2560×1080 · 3440×1440 · 3840×1600
MacBook Pro 14" (3024×1964) and 16" (3456×2234) built-in displays qualify.
Option B - a dual-monitor setup. Two displays side by side, captured as a single spanning image. Two 1920×1080+ monitors qualify. A single 1080p screen out of that pair does not.
