The actual job posting just says "software engineering", full stack, ai, "to build a tool that answers all the questions".

I can only see undergrads falling for this.

Maybe if you narrow down the job requirements (and the company mission) you would get less than 2.5k applicants and you wouldn't need to throw challenges to filter out people who value their time.

Those who can, do. Those who can’t, will spend half a day on your application for free.
