Job Summary

We are seeking highly skilled Competitive Programmers to support AI Training and evaluation initiatives. In this role, you will help improve next-generation AI systems by applying your expertise in algorithmic problem solving, competitive programming, code validation, and checker development.

This is not a traditional software engineering role. Contributors will work on AI training and evaluation projects designed to improve how AI systems reason about programming challenges, algorithms, edge cases, and competitive coding workflows.

No prior AI experience is required. What matters most is deep competitive programming expertise, strong analytical thinking, and the ability to evaluate complex coding problems with precision.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, implement, and maintain robust checkers for competitive programming problems with multiple valid outputs.
• Evaluate and validate participant submissions against complex algorithmic problem statements.
• Analyze edge cases, corner cases, and alternative solution paths to ensure checker accuracy and reliability.
• Develop efficient, maintainable C++ code for validating outputs and enforcing problem constraints.
• Collaborate with project teams to refine problem requirements and clarify ambiguous scenarios.
• Review test cases and identify opportunities to improve problem quality and evaluation robustness.
• Document checker logic, assumptions, and technical considerations clearly.
• Provide feedback on problem design, solution validity, and competitive programming best practices.
• Contribute to AI benchmarking and evaluation projects involving algorithmic reasoning and code correctness.

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Advanced expertise in competitive programming and algorithmic problem solving.
• Strong proficiency in C++.
• Deep understanding of data structures, algorithms, complexity analysis, and contest programming techniques.
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to interpret complex problem constraints and multiple valid solution approaches.
• Experience identifying edge cases and validating correctness across diverse outputs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to code quality.
• Ability to work independently in a remote, collaborative environment.
• Proven ability to deliver high-quality work under deadlines.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience as a problem setter, tester, validator, or checker developer on major competitive programming platforms such as Codeforces.
• Experience participating in national or international programming competitions.
• Familiarity with automated judging systems and competitive programming infrastructure.
• Experience reviewing contest problems, test cases, and solution correctness.
• Background in mentoring competitive programmers or creating educational programming content.

Additional Information

This opportunity is ideal for experienced competitive programmers who enjoy solving complex algorithmic challenges and evaluating solution correctness. Your expertise will directly influence how next-generation AI systems reason about programming problems, algorithm design, edge cases, validation logic, and competitive coding best practices.
