Codeforces Problem Setter
CodingRemoteTask-basedPosted Nov 10
Paid per taskThis opportunity lists pay per task, rather than an hourly rate.
Location: Fully remote
You’ll need: Strong competitive programming background and advanced C++
Your tasks: Create original competitive programming problems with reference solutions and robust test suites
You’ll create Reinforcement Learning Environments that test a model’s ability to solve hard algorithmic problems. Each task means writing an original problem that doesn’t exist on any online judge, a correct reference solution, and a test suite strong enough that a wrong solution fails.
What you’ll do
- Design original competitive programming problems, absent from Codeforces, AtCoder, and all other judges.
- Write a correct reference solution and verify it against the constraints.
- Build a robust test suite: edge cases, maximum constraints, and tests that break plausible wrong approaches.
- Implement checkers for problems with multiple valid outputs.
- Document the problem’s intended solution, complexity, and the reasoning behind your test cases.
- Review problems from other contributors for correctness and test coverage.
- Flag problems that turn out to be ambiguous or have unintended solutions.
Compensation Structure
Compensation is output-based; experts are paid per task that meets the project specifications. The time required may vary depending on your experience and workflow. Minimum submission requirements apply.
