Visual Studio Code macOS Application User

What You'll Do7

• Open Visual Studio Code on your own Mac and complete assigned application tasks.
• Use the editor's extensions, debugger, and integrated terminal as directed.
• Capture screenshots that exceed 2.5 megapixels for each required submission.
• Confirm your single monitor meets an accepted resolution or your dual monitors can span into one image.
• For dual-display setups, combine both screens into one image that meets the pixel threshold.
• Keep your Mac, VS Code installation, and display hardware ready throughout the hourly engagement.
• Follow Mercor's instructions for documenting application use and any specific code editor activity.

Requirements8

• Hands-on experience with specialized applications and a background as a software developer across any stack.
• Visual Studio Code installed and available on your personal Mac running macOS before you apply.
• Ability to open that editor on the same day work starts without a license, virtual machine, or hardware from Mercor.
• Screenshot capability above 2.5 megapixels from your existing display setup.
• A single monitor at or above the accepted resolution for 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 3:2, or 21:9 ultrawide aspect ratios.
• Or two displays side by side, each at 1920x1080 or higher, that you capture as one spanning image.
• A single 1080p screen does not qualify when it forms one half of a dual-monitor pair.
• MacBook Pro 14-inch and 16-inch built-in displays meet the requirement.

Who Should Apply

The right candidate already develops software and runs Visual Studio Code on a Mac that can produce screenshots above 2.5 megapixels. A single QHD, 4K, 5K, or comparable monitor works, and a MacBook Pro 14-inch or 16-inch built-in screen also qualifies. Dual-monitor users must show two 1920x1080+ displays and capture them as one spanning image. This role is less suitable for people who need Mercor to supply a license, virtual machine, or hardware. Candidates often score low when they apply without VS Code already installed on macOS or when their monitor setup cannot meet the pixel threshold. A single 1080p screen in a dual-monitor pair also fails the display check.
