Why we read it this way (5)
The role is titled 'Member of Technical Staff, iOS' with no explicit seniority level in the title, hence advertised seniority is Unspecified. The stated experience range of 2–5+ years and the scope (small team, end-to-end feature ownership, no people management) best maps to Mid-level.
The posting lists three office locations — San Francisco, NYC, and London — with in-person work required five days a week. San Francisco is listed first and is Mercor's primary HQ; the CBSA reflects that. The role is not remote.
The London office makes this potentially a non-US role for some hires, but the posting is clearly US-primary (SF/NYC listed first, USD compensation context, US benefits structure), so the US-based flag is set to true.
AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, or similar) appear in the requirements section but are framed as 'comfortable with' and 'e.g.' — indicating familiarity is expected but the specific tool is interchangeable; captured as preferred with alternatives.
No compensation figures are stated in the posting; only non-cash benefits and bonuses are described.
