Python Backend Developer - AI Data at Turing

Python Backend Developer (Contractor) | $300 per approved task | Remote | 4-week contract, immediate start

Urgent hire for a frontier AI data initiative at Turing, a company working with frontier AI labs on training data, evaluations, and engineering talent. You will build the infrastructure and training data used to develop and evaluate AI agents, assigned to one of two tracks: connectors or tasks. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.

What the work involves

• Use AI coding agents throughout development, QA, and validation
• Participate in onboarding, calibration, and quality reviews; deliver to the quality bar on agreed milestones

Connectors track:

• Build Python backend applications that replicate existing SaaS tools (Slack, Linear, Jira, Notion, Gmail, wikis)
• Test and validate connectors so each behaves faithfully like the system it emulates; extend existing connectors and build new ones within agreed timeframes

Task track:

• Mine data and workflows to identify candidates for long-horizon task development, and author realistic tasks from them
• Verify task quality, realism, and correctness through structured QA; write evaluation rubrics defining correct, partially correct, and deficient work

Requirements

• 3+ years of backend development experience with strong Python (FastAPI, Flask, or Django)
• Git, Docker, and pipeline basics, with solid testing and code-quality practices
• Experience building scalable backends, REST APIs, and microservices
• Daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar)

Pay and schedule

• Engagement type: Contractor, pay per task
• Payment: $300 per approved task
• Commitment: minimum of 1 completed and approved task per day
• No cap on tasks: complete as many as you can until the pipeline is exhausted
• Duration: 4 weeks, starting immediately
