Overview
Mercor needs professionals who already use specialized creative software in real work. For this role, you have installed Unreal Engine on your own Windows PC and can open it on the day you apply. The project covers real-time 3D work tied to games, virtual production, and visualization, so backgrounds in game development, technical art, virtual production, or archviz fit well. You also need a display setup that can capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels, either from one high-resolution monitor or two screens combined into a single spanning image. No licenses, virtual machines, or hardware come from Mercor.
What You'll Do6
- Open Unreal Engine on your own Windows machine and work inside the application when tasks start.
- Complete application-based assignments that reflect how game developers, technical artists, virtual production crews, or archviz specialists use Unreal Engine.
- Capture screenshots above 2.5 megapixels from a qualifying single monitor or a dual-display spanning setup.
- Confirm your display configuration meets the required aspect ratio and resolution thresholds before you submit evidence.
- Keep your Unreal Engine install and hardware available for the engagement without relying on Mercor for licenses, virtual machines, or devices.
- Follow task instructions for application interaction and screenshot submission.
Requirements5
- You have Unreal Engine installed and available on your own PC running Windows, and you can open it today.
- You have a qualifying monitor setup for screenshots above 2.5 megapixels. Option A: one display at or above 4:3 1826x1370, 16:9 2109x1186, 16:10 2000x1250, 3:2 1937x1291, or 21:9 2416x1036. Option B: two displays side by side captured as one spanning image, with two 1920x1080+ monitors qualifying and a single 1080p screen out of the pair not qualifying.
- MacBook Pro 14-inch 3024x1964 and 16-inch 3456x2234 built-in displays qualify.
- You bring hands-on experience with Unreal Engine in games, virtual production, visualization, or archviz.
- You supply your own software license, hardware, and virtual machine setup if needed. Mercor does not provide these.
Who Should Apply
Apply if you use Unreal Engine on a Windows PC and can prove you installed the software and it opens now. The strongest fit is a game developer, technical artist, virtual production specialist, or archviz professional with a monitor setup that already captures more than 2.5 megapixels. Candidates who lack a Windows machine, depend on Mercor for a license or virtual machine, or work from a single 1080p screen will not meet the hardware rules. A common reason applications score low is failing to show the exact display model, resolution, or capture method. Another is claiming Unreal Engine experience without concrete project evidence.
Salary Insight
The pay range is $30.00 to $40.00 per hour. For contract work that asks for a real Unreal Engine installation and a compliant capture setup, that rate fits contributors with practical Unreal Engine experience who can meet the hardware rules. It sits above basic data-labeling rates but below senior Unreal Engine engineering contracts, so expect the scope to match application-user tasks rather than full production ownership.
