The posting

We are sharing a specialised remote consulting opportunity for experienced Competitive Programmers and Algorithmic Problem Solvers with strong expertise in Python, C++, data structures, algorithms, debugging, and complex technical reasoning to contribute their programming and problem-solving skills to advanced AI training and evaluation initiatives.

Selected professionals will solve challenging coding puzzles, analyse unfamiliar technical environments, develop efficient algorithms, and validate reproducible software solutions. The work combines competitive programming expertise with computational reasoning, software debugging, constraint analysis, and structured technical evaluation to help improve the accuracy, reasoning, and problem-solving capabilities of advanced AI systems.

Key Responsibilities

Competitive Programming & Algorithmic Problem Solving

  • Solve technically challenging programming puzzles involving algorithms, data structures, logical reasoning, and computational problem-solving
  • Analyse unfamiliar coding problems and translate detailed requirements into clear, implementable solutions
  • Select appropriate algorithms and data structures based on problem constraints, computational complexity, and performance requirements
  • Develop efficient solutions to problems involving optimisation, combinatorics, graph algorithms, dynamic programming, and related computational techniques
  • Apply competitive programming expertise to evaluate correctness, efficiency, and robustness across complex technical challenges

Software Development & Debugging

  • Develop accurate and reproducible programming solutions using Python, C++, or other appropriate programming languages
  • Explore unfamiliar codebases, terminal environments, and technical workflows to understand problem requirements
  • Debug existing code, identify implementation errors, and resolve unexpected software behaviour
  • Evaluate code for logical correctness, computational efficiency, and consistency with specified requirements
  • Apply systematic debugging and testing methodologies to validate software implementations and technical solutions

Constraint Analysis & Technical Reasoning

  • Analyse programming challenges involving explicit constraints, hidden requirements, edge cases, and computational limitations
  • Evaluate algorithmic time and space complexity to determine appropriate solution strategies
  • Identify potential failure cases, logical inconsistencies, and implementation weaknesses within proposed solutions
  • Develop structured reasoning approaches for ambiguous or unfamiliar technical problems
  • Explain algorithm selection, implementation decisions, and technical trade-offs clearly and accurately

AI Training & Coding Solution Evaluation

  • Solve self-contained coding and technical reasoning challenges designed to evaluate advanced AI model capabilities
  • Develop accurate reference solutions supported by clear algorithms, reproducible code, and appropriate testing procedures
  • Review and validate AI-generated programming solutions, debugging approaches, and technical explanations
  • Identify errors in algorithmic reasoning, code implementation, complexity analysis, and constraint interpretation
  • Provide structured technical feedback to improve AI performance across competitive programming, software development, and computational reasoning tasks

Technical Validation & Quality Assurance

  • Design and execute test cases to evaluate solution correctness, reliability, and compliance with task specifications
  • Validate programming solutions against explicit requirements, edge cases, and relevant computational constraints
  • Review technical outputs for reproducibility, clarity, completeness, and implementation accuracy
  • Produce clear documentation describing problem-solving approaches, algorithmic decisions, and validation results
  • Apply rigorous quality standards to coding assignments, technical analyses, and specialised AI evaluation deliverables

Ideal Profile

  • Strong competitive programming background with demonstrated experience solving complex algorithmic and coding challenges
  • A Codeforces profile is required, with meaningful competitive programming experience preferred
  • Strong proficiency in Python, C++, or both languages for algorithmic problem-solving and software development
  • Deep understanding of common data structures, algorithms, and computational complexity principles
  • Demonstrated ability to solve technically demanding programming challenges under defined constraints
  • Practical experience with algorithmic optimisation, dynamic programming, graph algorithms, sorting, searching, or comparable competitive programming techniques
  • Strong understanding of time and space complexity, performance considerations, and efficient algorithm design
  • Experience debugging unfamiliar codebases and resolving technically ambiguous programming problems
  • Ability to interpret detailed technical specifications and translate requirements into correct software implementations
  • Familiarity with terminal-based development environments, command-line tools, and programmatic testing workflows
  • Demonstrated ability to identify edge cases, evaluate solution correctness, and validate computational results
  • Strong analytical reasoning, mathematical problem-solving, critical-thinking, and technical research capabilities
  • Exceptional attention to detail and commitment to accurate, efficient, and reproducible programming solutions
  • Ability to explain algorithmic approaches, technical assumptions, and implementation decisions clearly
  • Experience participating in competitive programming contests, online coding competitions, or algorithmic problem-solving communities
  • Publicly verifiable competitive programming achievements or meaningful Codeforces participation are particularly relevant
  • Ability to work independently, manage technically challenging assignments, and meet established quality requirements
  • Prior experience with AI training, coding evaluation, or machine learning research projects is advantageous but not required

Engagement Details

  • Freelance / contract engagement
  • Fully remote — open worldwide
  • Compensation: $60–$120/hour advertised rate range
  • Payment Structure: Output-based compensation, with payment made per completed task that meets project specifications
  • Expected Commitment: Approximately 15 hours per week
  • Flexible Schedule: Professionals may choose their preferred working hours and days, including weekends
  • 100 available openings
  • Specialised technical consulting role spanning competitive programming, Python, C++, algorithms, debugging, and AI training
  • Technical Requirement: Codeforces profile and strong algorithmic problem-solving capabilities
  • Work will involve coding puzzle solving, algorithm development, software debugging, computational reasoning, and technical solution validation
  • Assignments will require accurate, reproducible solutions that satisfy specified technical and computational constraints
  • Task specifications, submission requirements, and compensation will depend on individual assignments
  • Selection may include screening questions, an approximately 30-minute AI interview, and a hiring manager review
  • Selected professionals should be prepared to begin their first assignment within 24–48 hours of completing onboarding
  • Work must be completed without using confidential or proprietary information belonging to any employer, client, institution, or other third party

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
