Overview

Mercor seeks professionals who already run PyCharm on a macOS machine and can open the IDE today. This remote, hourly project centers on hands-on use of the Python development environment for coding tasks. No software licenses, virtual machines, or hardware come with the role, so your own Mac and PyCharm install must meet the technical rules. You also need a display setup that captures screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, either from one high-resolution monitor or two monitors spanning a single image.

What You'll Do6

Open PyCharm on your own Mac and use it for Python coding work throughout the engagement.
Apply IDE features such as debugging, refactoring, and virtual-environment management to real tasks.
Capture screenshots from your display that exceed 2.5 megapixels for each required submission.
Verify your monitor setup fits either the single high-resolution screen rule or the dual-monitor spanning rule.
Work on an hourly schedule and track time for the remote project.
Keep your local PyCharm installation and macOS environment ready for each task.

Requirements6

You have PyCharm installed on a Mac that runs macOS, and you can launch the application today.
You own the hardware and software needed for the work. Mercor does not provide licenses, virtual machines, or computers.
Your screen capture setup produces images larger than 2.5 megapixels.
For a single monitor, the display matches one of the listed resolutions: 1826x1370 or 2048x1536 (4:3); 2109x1186, 2560x1440, 3840x2160, or 5120x2880 (16:9); 2000x1250, 2240x1400, 2560x1600, or 2880x1800 (16:10); 1937x1291, 2160x1440, 2256x1504, 2736x1824, or 3000x2000 (3:2); or 2416x1036, 2560x1080, 3440x1440, or 3840x1600 (21:9).
MacBook Pro 14-inch (3024x1964) and 16-inch (3456x2234) built-in displays qualify as a single monitor.
For a dual-monitor setup, two displays sit side by side and a single spanning image captures both. Two 1920x1080 or higher monitors qualify. A single 1080p screen does not meet the rule.

Who Should Apply

The right candidate owns a Mac, keeps PyCharm installed, and can launch it on demand. This role fits Python developers, backend engineers, data scientists, and ML practitioners who use PyCharm as a primary IDE. Candidates who need Mercor to supply a license, virtual machine, or computer will not fit the engagement. Applicants often lose consideration when they cannot open PyCharm on macOS during the first check, or when they submit from a single 1080p monitor that fails the screenshot rule.

Salary Insight

The role pays $55.00 to $65.00 per hour. That range fits an hourly engagement for professionals who bring their own PyCharm-ready Mac and display hardware. Candidates with direct PyCharm experience on macOS and a qualifying high-resolution monitor sit at the upper end.
