We are looking for contest admins and problem setters for a contest series we are starting at TheJobOverflow. We are experimenting with the format and variety of problems — the contests are primarily geared toward algorithms/ideas with a lesser component of peeling multilayer observations. TJO has 6,000 users and has evaluated 10,000 solution to programming tasks this week.

What is TJO? TheJobOverflow is an Open Community Platform for interview preparation & CP. It's built and managed by alumni of IIIT Hyderabad, IIT Bombay, IIT BHU, and IIT Guwahati. Team has ICPC world finalists, IOI medalists, Math olympiad folks and also houses key people who authored math-contest Gordian Knot a few years ago ( :

Our contest series is yet to be launched, meanwhile we have compiled & tested 350 problem's Question Bank which includes latest Coding Round & Interview problems asked by Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Rubrik, Uber etc in the last 1 year. This made TheJobOverflow the first choice for Placement Preparation for all major technical colleges in India.
