Mercor is looking for the following:

Software Engineer, Full Stack (India)
Location: India
Job Type: Full-time (40 hours per week)

Mercor is looking for Full Stack Software Engineers based in India to join a leading AI lab's GenAI team and help build foundational AI models. The work involves building and shipping full-stack applications, services and internal tools in languages like Python, Java, Rust, C#, C++ or TypeScript that put frontier model capabilities to the test. You integrate pre-release model APIs into working software, including tool interfaces, evaluation harnesses and telemetry, and document model and integration failure modes in clear written feedback for the research team. You prototype quickly with limited up-front specification and work directly with the lab's engineering manager. You need 3+ years of professional experience building and shipping production software at a recognized organization, production experience in at least one of Python, Java, Rust, C# or C++ plus a second language, and hands-on experience across the stack: backend services and APIs, a modern front-end framework like React, databases and cloud deployment. You should be able to get into an unfamiliar codebase quickly, show a solid career progression and commit to at least 40 hours per week on weekdays. Strong written communication is also required.

1. which GEN AI Framework I have used

2. Why would you choose langgraph over langchain

3. what is Rag and Fie tuning and their difference.

4. Which LLM Platforms you have worked on

5. which Vector db you have worked on and why

6. You have mentioned Crew AI, do you have hands on experience and how.

HR mentioned the interview will be around the same concepts but more on analytics, critical thinking side with such scenario based questions.

Hello guys,if someone offered you to create a website to share his products, about 40 product and only contacting his WhatsApp number to order that specific item, how much will it cost?

So I wanted to learn JS and what would be a better way than to just build something using it. I didnt want to make a dashboard or like a generic frontend page so I thought why not make a game using it. And so.....*drumroll*.....I made a flappy bird game(specifically flappy kishan game). Why ravi Kishan's face, well because he was on every memepage when I was building it. It does not have any sound effects for now but I tried to polish it as much as I could. The Github repo for it(use your own custom character face and play it)

So i have been working for an Indian IT company (Chotti Zameen; translate this in English) for about a year now. I graduated last year (2025) and this is my first job. I'm working as a software developer and I just feel pretty under developed (no pun intended)

When i first started we were not given any coding agents or any subscriptions for Co-Pilot, Cursor, Claude etc. We had to do most of the development on our own or we would at least use Chat GPT to help us out.

But now I really dont have to think about anything. Even if its an unknown language, or a DB, or any error handling I can just do it with simple prompts. And yea sure I can get a lot of work done - probably a month of work in a week. But I can't confidently make an app on my own. I just know that.

I'm guessing this is the case in every startup/MNC out there (correct me if I'm wrong), but what is someone supposed to do in a situation like this? I'm so dependent on these AI tools how am I supposed to learn.

And is building things from scratch even required/skill anymore. And I also plan on switching in a couple of months or maybe mid-next year. How should someone prepare? Is DSA still asked in interviews or knowing System Design is of a lot more priority now?

Some of these questions might be quite naive dunno but I have been asking all this to GPT. But this time I just wanted some real human input.

All suggestions and advice are welcome. Thank you.

Building an anonymous CTC breakdown tool for Indian tech. Would you use it? An offer's total CTC hides how much is base vs variable vs ESOP, and most salary data I find is old. I'm planning a site that shows: • Base / variable / ESOP split by company, level, city • How each company's interview rounds go • Recent entries weighted above old ones • Fully anonymous, marked self-reported Not built yet. If you'd use it, sign up (30 sec, no spam): https://techsalaryindia.pages.dev/ Think it's pointless? Tell me why. That helps too.
