Competitive Programmer

Role Overview

Create original competitive programming environments that help evaluate and improve next-generation AI systems. You will develop unique problems, reference solutions, and robust test suites that assess complex reasoning and programming capabilities.

Key Responsibilities

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

Qualifications

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

Work Terms

• Remote independent-contractor engagement.
• Commitment of at least 15 hours per week.
• Selected candidates should be ready to begin initial tasks within 24 to 48 hours after completing onboarding.
• Minimum weekly task-submission requirements apply.

Compensation

• Compensation range: $45 to $65 per hour.
• Payment is output-based and issued per task that meets project specifications. Completion time may vary based on experience and workflow.
