Position: Frontend Engineer

Role Responsibilities

• 🔹Render a reference page and two candidate replications at 1920×1080. Judge which is the closer reproduction, state by state.
• 🔹Diff visual fidelity in detail: box model and spacing, typography (family, size, weight, line-height, letter-spacing), color and border treatment, image and asset handling, z-order, and overflow.
• 🔹Read the source of both attempts and grade construction quality. Distinguish a replication that is genuinely correct from one that merely looks correct at one viewport.
• 🔹Test responsiveness. Identify defects such as a nav bar that looks right at 1920px but collapses at 1400px.
• 🔹Write specific, evidence-cited justifications for every preference. Provide detailed explanations like "B nests the article body in a single absolutely-positioned div, so the text overlaps the footer below 1600px, while A uses normal document flow."
• 🔹Use the "this task is broken" escape hatch with judgment. Distinguish a task that genuinely cannot be completed from one that is merely hard.

Qualifications

Must-Have

• 🔹3–8 years of professional web development experience in frontend or full-stack work.
• 🔹Fluency across web eras, including legacy layouts like used for layout.
• 🔹Command of hand-written HTML and CSS : semantic markup, flexbox, grid, media queries, and legacy float- and table-based layouts.
• 🔹Browser DevTools as muscle memory.
• 🔹Command-line comfort: unzipping an archive, standing up a static local server, and untangling a broken image reference.
• 🔹Enough JavaScript to read a page's scripts and understand their DOM impact.
• 🔹Professional written English for task justification.

Preferred

• 🔹Prior RLHF , preference-labeling, model-evaluation, or structured code-review work.
• 🔹Pixel-perfect design-to-code experience.
• 🔹Accessibility expertise (ARIA , semantic landmarks, heading hierarchy).
• 🔹Familiarity with how LLMs fail at code generation.
• 🔹Web scraping, archiving, or DOM-parsing background.
• 🔹More than one completed Mercor project and availability in contiguous multi-hour blocks.
