Job summary

Executive Staff Recruiters / ESR Healthcare seeks highly skilled coding puzzle solvers for a global remote AI training project. You will tackle self-contained coding and reasoning tasks, exploring unfamiliar codebases, selecting algorithms, and delivering reproducible solutions in a suitable language.

The role emphasizes independent work in terminal environments, rigorous testing, and clear communication of decisions and trade-offs. Flexible hours and weekend work optional.

Qualifications

• Strong algorithmic problem-solving ability.
• Proficient in at least one general-purpose language such as C++, Python, Java, Rust, Go, C#, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
• Solid 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.
• Ability to work independently in terminal-based development environments.
• Ability to produce reproducible, testable software solutions.
• Clear written and verbal technical communication.

Responsibilities

• Solve self-contained coding, logic, debugging, and technical reasoning challenges.
• Analyze unfamiliar problems and translate their requirements into implementable solutions.
• Select appropriate algorithms, data structures, and problem-solving strategies.
• Work inside terminal-based development environments and existing codebases.
• Implement correct and efficient solutions using an appropriate programming language.
• Identify ambiguous requirements, edge cases, hidden assumptions, and failure conditions.
• Debug incorrect behavior across code, tests, dependencies, and environment configuration.
• Develop tests and verification methods that distinguish genuinely correct solutions from superficially plausible ones.
• Review AI-generated solutions and identify logic errors, incomplete reasoning, and constraint violations.
• Produce clear, reproducible solutions that can be executed and evaluated automatically.
• Explain reasoning, implementation decisions, and trade-offs clearly
