What to know before you apply

Pay
At the published rate, 10 hours a week would be about $700–$1,300 and 20 hours about $1,400–$2,600 before tax. Hours depend on the project, so treat this as a ceiling, not a promise.
Openings
25 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
Open worldwide in the countries the employer accepts. Payments usually go out through services like PayPal or Wise, so check one of them works in your country.
Credentials
The listing asks for a PhD. Put it in the first line of your profile: reviewers screen for it before anything else.
Timing
This listing is new today. 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.
