Employer expecting you to be available 24-7 on a 40 hr workweek contract sounds like the sort of thing I'd talk to an employment lawyer about: seems like they are not paying for 128 hours/wk of 'engaged to wait' time.

Ah, they're posting on HackerNews.. He/she can just spend a few months grinding on those stupid coding challenge sites and then snag a cushy job at one of the tech megacorps. Or dig up the last "Who's Hiring" thread on this site and find a nice gig at a smaller company
