Competitive Coder
About the role
In this role, you'll apply your expertise to help train next generation AI systems. Your work will shape how models learn, reason, and perform through high quality, real world input. No prior experience in AI is required — your domain knowledge is what matters. As an expert you will be creating Reinforcement Learning Environments which test an AI model’s ability to solve complex competitive programming problems. You will be tasked with creating a unique custom problem absent from all existing online judges, creating a reference solution and creating a robust test suite.
What you'll 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.
Requirements
- 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.
- Preferred: Prior experience as a problem setter, tester, or checker on major competitive programming platforms.
