Role Description
This role involves creating terminal bench–style problems and tasks involving agents within a competitive programming environment, as part of a hiring effort for its AI lab partner building advanced agent-based infrastructure.
- Develop interactive, terminal-based challenges that test the problem-solving capabilities of autonomous agents in real-time coding scenarios.
Qualifications
- Track record of success in competitive programming contests (e.g., ICPC, Codeforces, LeetCode, AtCoder, HackerRank)
- Strong skills in algorithms, data structures, and systems-level thinking
- Proficient in Python, C++, or Go, and comfortable working in terminal-based coding environments
- Ability to design programming problems that test time complexity, memory constraints, logic correctness, and multi-step reasoning
- Experience with online judge systems, sandboxed environments, or contest infrastructure
- Curiosity about AI agents and interest in how agents can solve real-world programming tasks
- Enjoy creating reproducible, progressive challenges and can abstract real-world systems problems into code-based puzzles
Requirements
- Create terminal bench–style problems and tasks where autonomous agents are challenged to solve competitive programming problems in a live, terminal-driven environment
- Test agent performance across algorithmic domains — such as graph theory, dynamic programming, greedy techniques, and real-time debugging
What You'll Do
- Design and implement terminal-based coding challenges for agents to solve autonomously
- Build a sandboxed, judge-like environment that runs test cases, checks correctness, and monitors time/memory usage
- Simulate real-world competitive conditions: limited time, incremental hints, multiple submissions, etc.
- Collaborate with AI engineers to define reward functions, failure conditions, and difficulty tiers
- Develop tooling for benchmark resets, output validation, and scenario generation
- Evolve the difficulty of problems from beginner-level syntax and logic to advanced algorithmic pipelines and systems simulations
Why This Role Is Exciting
- Define a new generation of programming benchmarks built specifically for AI agents
- Blend algorithmic design, problem solving, and systems-level realism in one role
- Work on uncharted challenges that push the boundaries of what agents can understand and execute
Pay & Work Structure
- Classified as an hourly contractor to Mercor
- Paid weekly via Stripe Connect, based on hours logged
- Part-time (20 hrs/week) with fully remote, async flexibility — work from anywhere, on your own schedule
