Competitive Coder

Build original competitive programming environments that help evaluate and train next-generation AI systems. You will create challenging, custom problems, reference solutions, and rigorous test suites that measure an AI model''s ability to solve complex programming tasks.

• Create unique competitive programming problems that are not available on existing online judges.
• Develop reference solutions and robust test suites for each problem.
• Design and implement accurate, resilient C++ checkers for problems that allow multiple valid outputs.
• Evaluate and validate submissions against complex problem statements, including problems from platforms such as Codeforces.
• Work with the customer team to refine problem requirements and resolve ambiguous scenarios.
• Write clear, maintainable C++ code that efficiently handles varied outputs and edge cases.
• Document checker logic, communicate technical nuances and edge cases in writing and conversation, and provide feedback to problem setters and reviewers on test cases and checkers.
• Apply current competitive programming standards and checker-development best practices.

• Strong competitive programming and coding-problem analysis expertise.
• Advanced C++ proficiency, including the ability to build robust checker solutions.
• Excellent analytical skills for interpreting complex constraints and multiple solution paths.
• Clear written and verbal technical communication skills.
• Meticulous attention to code validation and output consistency.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative setting and deliver high-quality, well-documented code under tight deadlines.
• Prior experience as a problem setter, tester, or checker on major competitive programming platforms is preferred.
• No prior AI experience is required.

• Remote independent contractor engagement.
• Commitment of at least 15 hours per week.
• Minimum weekly task-submission requirements apply.
• Selected candidates are expected to begin their first tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing the required onboarding process.

• Compensation is listed at $45 to $65 per hour.
• Payment is output-based and issued per task that meets project specifications. Time required may vary based on experience and workflow.
