Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $500–$700 and 20 hours about $1,000–$1,400 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
50 openings means this is a high-volume project. You are not competing for one seat: if you pass the test, there is room for you.
Location
Only applicants located in United States can be paid for this role. Platforms usually verify where you are, so apply only if you are based there.
Timing
This listing is 1 day old. Projects can close once they have enough people, so it is worth applying while it is open.
Test tips for developers
  • Run the code in your head (or for real) before judging it: correctness beats style.
  • Write the smallest failing test that proves a bug.
  • Explain fixes in two or three clear sentences. Written clarity is graded too.
