Algorithms and Competitive Programming Expert
Help us find where advanced coding agents break in algorithms and competitive programming. Build or solve realistic tasks, stress-test generated code, and explain failures with reproducible evidence. Remote project-based work can pay up to $40/hour, depending on the project and demonstrated expertise.
Apply for this role →What you'll do
- Create, solve, or review realistic tasks involving algorithm design, complexity, original problem construction, constraints, adversarial test cases, and solution validation.
- Test AI-generated code and agent traces for correctness, edge cases, regressions, unsafe assumptions, and incomplete fixes.
- Write strong tests, reference patches, expected outcomes, and concise explanations of the failure mode.
- Review peer-authored tasks for realism, reproducibility, difficulty, and clean evaluation criteria.
What we look for
- Strong practical depth in algorithm design, complexity, original problem construction, constraints, adversarial test cases, and solution validation.
- Ability to navigate unfamiliar code or specifications and communicate technical decisions in clear written English.
- Verifiable evidence such as meaningful GitHub work, shipped software, a competition profile, technical writing, or a portfolio. Confidential industry work can be described in the application without exposing proprietary material.
- Prior AI-evaluation experience is useful but not required; strong engineering judgement and testing discipline matter more.
