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 (AWS Serverless & Infrastructure-as-Code Task Auditor) 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.

Original posting from Mercor

Evaluate the quality, correctness, and cloud-architecture soundness of AWS serverless and infrastructure-as-code tasks used to train and evaluate a frontier AI lab's models. You'll assess multi-service serverless designs, IaC fidelity, and cross-service integration correctness - and provide clear, rubric-based written feedback.

Basic Qualifications

• 3+ years hands-on experience building multi-service AWS serverless applications (Lambda, API Gateway, DynamoDB/Streams, S3, EventBridge, SNS/SQS, Step Functions)

• Strong experience with infrastructure-as-code (AWS CDK, CloudFormation, or SAM)

• Demonstrated ability to assess event-driven architecture correctness, IAM/permission boundaries, and failure/retry semantics

• Familiarity with local emulation/testing fidelity (e.g., LocalStack) versus real AWS behavior

Preferred Qualifications

• AWS certifications (Solutions Architect / Developer)

• Experience with observability and cost-optimization for serverless workloads

• Prior code-review or task-grading experience
