About this job
Mercor is seeking experienced software engineers at companies that serve retail investors for a short, paid expert interview on behalf of a leading AI company building financial intelligence products. In a single 45–60 minute conversation, you will share how engineering teams like yours evaluate, choose, and integrate third-party APIs and AI vendors. This is a good fit for backend, integrations, or platform engineers (or hands-on tech leads and engineering managers) at online brokerages, investing apps, robo-advisors, neobanks with investing, wealth platforms, or brokerage infrastructure providers.

What You'll Do
• Join one 45–60 minute remote interview at a time that works for you.
• Walk through how your team evaluated or shortlisted an outside API or AI vendor (e.g. market data, news/research, identity, or AI chat), and what drove the final decision.
• Share what made integrations go well or badly: documentation, reliability, pricing, security and compliance review, and support.
• Give candid feedback on what you would want from vendors serving retail-investing products.
Please share only your own experience and opinions. You will not be asked for confidential or proprietary information about your employer.
Requirements

Nice to Have
• Integrated market data, news, research, or AI chat features.
• Experience across different company sizes or seniority levels.
Why Join?
• Paid for your time, with a flexible, one-time commitment that fits alongside your current role.
• Share your perspective to help shape AI and data products built for retail investors.
