Competitive Programmer for AI Model Training

Compete in a live Codeforces contest as a top-level competitive coder, producing and validating high-quality C++ solutions and checker implementations. This role tests your ability to analyze complex problem constraints, deliver robust code under time pressure, and clearly document and communicate technical details while working remotely.

• Participate in the scheduled live competitive programming contest on Codeforces.
• Analyze problem statements and multiple solution approaches to design reliable validation logic.
• Implement robust C++ checkers and related tooling to validate outputs and enforce problem constraints.
• Ensure output consistency and correctness, with meticulous attention to edge cases and specification details.
• Document code, explanations, and validation rules clearly for reviewers.
• Work independently in a remote environment and communicate technical findings concisely.

• Proven expertise in competitive programming and coding problem analysis.
• Advanced proficiency in C++, with specific experience implementing robust checker solutions.
• Strong analytical skills for interpreting complex constraints and multiple solution paths.
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills to articulate technical details clearly.
• Meticulous attention to detail when validating code and outputs.
• Ability to work independently, meet tight deadlines, and produce well-documented code.

• Prior experience as a problem setter, tester, or checker on major competitive programming platforms.

• Location: Remote only.
• This is a contest-based engagement. The contest is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14 at 10:00 AM PST; eligible applicants will receive an official invitation if they qualify.
• Applications will close 24 hours after posting, so prompt submission is required.

• Pay range: $45 to $65 per hour.
