Competitive Programming Expert, Part-Time AI Problem Design - Remote (India)

• $45–$65 per hour equivalent, paid per accepted task

• 100% remote

• Part-time

• Under 20 hours a week, you choose when

Work on the cutting edge of AI coding systems, on your own schedule, and get paid for the problem-solving expertise you already have.

The AI systems everyone is talking about are trained and tested by real experts. The teams building them need competitive programmers who can create difficult, original coding problems, judge how well AI submissions solve them, write the reference solutions and tests a professional would use, and explain exactly where the AI falls short. Your judgment becomes part of how the next generation of coding systems works. This is that work, done remotely as part-time contract work.

What you'll do

• Create original competitive programming challenges with clear requirements and demanding constraints

• Build comprehensive test suites around reference solutions to assess AI submissions

• For problems with multiple valid outputs, build robust C++ checkers that reliably validate submissions

• Review submissions against the requirements and explain unclear cases or technical failures

Why this is worth your time

• Get paid the equivalent of $45–$65 an hour to build real AI skills on flexible, part-time contract work

• Work on AI systems that solve hard coding problems, designing the original problems, tests and checkers that measure how well they do

• Build practical experience turning your problem-setting and checker judgment into reliable tasks with clear, documented expected behavior

• Fully remote and flexible, no fixed shifts, no commute

Who this is for

• Bring strong expertise in analyzing coding problems through competitive programming

• Advanced C++ proficiency for developing robust checkers and high-quality code

• Strong analytical skill with complex constraints and with problems that allow several valid solution paths

• Can deliver well-documented, high-quality code when deadlines are tight

• Fluent in English, able to communicate clearly in writing and speech, meticulous about details, and comfortable working independently from a remote setting

• No AI experience needed. You bring the competitive programming expertise; the work provides structured problem specifications and review criteria.

Pay and details

• $45–$65 per hour equivalent; pay is per accepted task, as an independent contractor

• Part-time, flexible schedule; fully remote, India
