Why this grade This listing scored 50/100, which is a D. It lost the most ground on pay transparency. See the breakdown
- Description depth 20 / 20 How much the posting actually says about the work, measured in characters of real text.
- Pay transparency 12 / 25 A published salary range, worth more than any other single factor because it is what a candidate cannot find out without applying.
- Corroboration 10 / 10 Whether more than one source carries this listing.
- Remote clarity 8 / 15 Whether "remote" means anywhere, or is quietly restricted to one country.
- Role specificity 6 / 10 Whether the listing is tagged well enough to tell what the role actually is.
- Freshness 4 / 15 How recently it was posted. Older postings are likelier to be filled or abandoned.
-10 Ghost-job penalty — Deducted for signals that this posting may not be a real, currently-open role — staleness, repeated relisting, or talent-pool language.
Every figure above is arithmetic over the posting itself — its salary field, its text, its age, its tags and how many sources carry it. How the grades work →
Content Creator Data Science Senior Contractor
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.
What we look for
- Strong competitive programming background, shown by a public profile — a Codeforces rating (see levels below), OR an IOI / ICPC / national-olympiad record;
- Fluent contest C++ (STL, complexity); comfortable writing Python;
- Can explain why a solution is wrong and build an input that breaks it;
- Strong written English (C1+).
Levels (by Codeforces rating, or equivalent olympiad achievement):
- Associate — 1700–2100 (Expert / Candidate Master): easier problems;
- Expert — 2200–2600 (Master / Grandmaster): harder problems
- Senior / Reviewer — 2600+ (Int'l Grandmaster) or IOI/ICPC medalist: hardest problems + quality review.
Nice to have
- IOI / ICPC alumni and top competitive programmers especially encouraged to apply;
- Experience setting or testing problems for real contests (Codeforces rounds, ICPC, national olympiads, online judges);
- Testlib experience (checkers, validators, generators);
- Experience creating data for LLM code benchmarks or similar RL / evaluation datasets.
How it works
Apply → Pass qualification(s) → Join a project → Complete tasks → Get paid
Project time expectations
For this project, tasks are estimated to require around 10-20 hours per week during active phases, based on project requirements. This is an estimate, not a guaranteed workload, and applies only while the project is active. Tasks must be submitted by the deadline and meet the listed acceptance criteria to be accepted.
Compensation
Paid per accepted task. Your rate depends on the qualification tier you reach and how efficiently you complete tasks — up to the equivalent of $90/hr. Because payment is per task, a faster pace raises your effective hourly rate.
