Join us to train next-generation AI systems by designing and implementing high-quality, real-world competitive programming environments. Your domain knowledge and coding expertise will directly shape how AI models learn, reason, and perform — no prior AI experience required.
About the Role
As a Competitive Coder, you’ll play a critical role in training cutting-edge AI systems by creating custom, complex problem environments that test models’ reasoning and performance. You’ll design checkers, reference solutions, and test suites for problems unique to our platform — ensuring accuracy, robustness, and clarity. This is a remote, contractor role with flexible hours (15+ hrs/week), ideal for experts who thrive in independent, high-impact environments. We value precision, communication, and technical excellence — and you’ll be working directly with our customer’s team to refine problem requirements and validate submissions. If you’re passionate about competitive programming and eager to influence AI development, this is your opportunity to make a measurable impact.
What You Will Do
Design and implement checkers for competitive programming problems with multiple valid outputs, ensuring accuracy and robustness.
Evaluate and validate participant submissions against complex problem statements sourced from platforms like Codeforces.
Collaborate with the customer’s team to fine-tune problem requirements and clarify ambiguous scenarios.
Develop clear, maintainable code in C++ to assess diverse outputs and edge cases efficiently.
Document checker logic and communicate intricacies or edge cases in both written and verbal form.
Provide feedback to problem setters and reviewers on potential improvements to test cases and checkers.
Stay updated with evolving competitive programming standards and incorporate best practices into checker development.
What We Are Looking For
Expertise in competitive programming and coding problem analysis.
Advanced proficiency in C++ for implementing robust checker solutions.
Strong analytical abilities to interpret complex problem constraints and multiple solution paths.
Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; ability to articulate technical details clearly.
Meticulous attention to detail in code validation and output consistency.
Experience working independently in a remote, collaborative environment.
Commitment to producing high-quality, well-documented code under tight deadlines.
Nice to Have
Previous experience as a problem setter, tester, or checker on major competitive programming platforms.
Apply now to start your first tasks within 24–48 hours of onboarding. We typically fill roles within 48 hours — if selected, you’ll be expected to begin immediately.
