Scientific Coding Trainer (STEM/Python) at Turing

Scientific Coding Trainer (STEM & Python) | Contractor | Remote (Select Countries)

Join Turing and NVIDIA in building one of the most rigorous STEM AI training datasets in the industry. As a SciCode Trainer, you'll author, implement, and review complex scientific coding problems that directly train and evaluate frontier AI models. This is an 8-week contractor engagement requiring 40 hours per week with a 4-hour PST overlap.

Key Responsibilities

• Write scientific problem specifications consisting of one main problem and a minimum of 3 logically connected sub-problems that progressively build toward the main solution.
• Implement verified golden solutions in Python with complete unit test coverage.
• Design discriminative test cases that clearly differentiate correct from incorrect model outputs.
• Run QC validation checks on the Turing Central Task Platform (CTP), including Tier 1 structure checks and Tier 2 quality rubrics.
• Iterate on tasks based on QC feedback to meet Pass@K evaluation criteria across multiple LLM judges (GPT, Gemini, Nemotron).
• Maintain high output quality with a low rework rate, targeting consistent L1 approval on first submission.
• Participate in sync calls for reviews, feedback sessions, and project standups during overlap hours.

Required Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in a STEM discipline.
• Strong Python programming skills with hands-on experience in scientific computing.
• Ability to write rigorous, well-posed scientific problems with clear constraints and expected outputs.
• High attention to detail — tasks must meet strict rubrics for well-posedness, test case discriminativeness, scientific correctness, and determinism.
• Prior experience in AI data annotation, academic research, or scientific writing.
• Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks or coding benchmarks.
• Proficiency with scientific libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, or domain-specific tools.
• Published research or academic project experience in a STEM domain is a strong plus.
