Competitive Programming Expert - Freelance AI Trainer
Please submit your CV in English and indicate your level of English proficiency.
Mindrift connects specialists with project-based AI opportunities for leading tech companies, focused on testing, evaluating, and improving AI systems. Participation is project-based, not permanent employment.
What this opportunity involves
We're building competitive-programming problems and their automatic graders (test cases + checkers) used to train advanced AI coding models. You'll create problems, write both correct and deliberately-wrong solutions, and design the tough test cases that catch subtly-broken code. Your work is what makes the training signal trustworthy.
To apply, share: your competitive-programming handle(s) + current/peak rating, any problem-setting experience, and IOI/ICPC/olympiad history.
What you'll do
- Write original algorithmic problems — clear statement, sound constraints, an intended solution;
- Write correct solutions in C++ and Python;
- Write realistic wrong solutions (common mistakes) to test against;
- Build and harden test cases: generators, edge cases, stress and "hacking" tests;
- Write checkers/interactors (testlib) for problems with more than one valid answer;
- Confirm the quality bar: correct solutions pass, wrong ones fail, within time limits.
