[Hiring] Puzzle Solver @YO AI Labs

Role Description

We are seeking highly skilled Coding Puzzle Solvers to contribute to an AI training project focused on algorithmic reasoning, debugging, technical problem-solving, and reproducible software solutions.

You'll solve challenging coding and technical problems designed to evaluate advanced AI systems. Tasks may involve:

• Unfamiliar codebases
• Terminal environments
• Precise constraints
• Implementation, testing, debugging
• Producing reproducible solutions

What You'll Work On:

• Solve coding, logic, debugging, and technical reasoning challenges.
• Analyze complex requirements and translate them into practical solutions.
• Select appropriate algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving approaches.
• Work with terminal-based environments and unfamiliar codebases.
• Implement efficient and reliable solutions using appropriate programming languages.
• Identify edge cases, hidden assumptions, ambiguous requirements, and failure conditions.
• Debug issues involving code, tests, dependencies, and environment configuration.
• Develop tests and verification methods to validate solution correctness.
• Review AI-generated solutions and identify logic errors, incomplete reasoning, and constraint violations.
• Produce clear, reproducible solutions suitable for automated evaluation.
• Explain technical reasoning, implementation decisions, and trade-offs clearly.

Qualifications

• Strong algorithmic and problem-solving skills.
• Proficiency in at least one programming language, such as C++, Python, Java, Rust, Go, C#, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Strong understanding of data structures and algorithms.
• Ability to reason about constraints, complexity, edge cases, and correctness.
• Experience debugging unfamiliar code or solving technically ambiguous problems.
• Comfortable working independently in terminal-based development environments.
• Ability to produce reproducible and testable software solutions.
• Strong written and verbal technical communication skills.
• A public or verifiable Codeforces profile demonstrating competitive programming experience is a plus.

Requirements

• Apply and complete the screening questions.
• Complete an AI interview of approximately 30 minutes.
• Complete the hiring manager review.
