Senior JavaScript/React Engineer at Turing

Senior JavaScript/React Engineer – AI Training | Contractor | Remote (US Only)

Join Turing, the world's leading AI research accelerator, as a Software Engineering Evaluator focused on training and benchmarking frontier large language models. This flexible contractor role is ideal for experienced engineers who want to shape the future of AI-driven software development.

About Turing

Based in San Francisco, Turing partners with leading AI labs and global enterprises to accelerate frontier AI research and deploy reliable, high-impact AI systems. Our work spans advanced training pipelines, STEM reasoning, multimodality, and enterprise AI transformation.

Role Overview

As a Software Engineering Evaluator, you will curate high-quality code datasets, evaluate AI-generated code, and collaborate with researchers to improve model performance across multiple programming languages — with a strong emphasis on JavaScript and ReactJS.

What You'll Do

• Curate code examples, build solutions, and correct code in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS).
• Evaluate and refine AI-generated code for correctness, performance, scalability, and reliability.
• Collaborate cross-functionally to benchmark AI-driven coding solutions against industry standards.
• Build agents to verify quality and identify error patterns in systems-level and infrastructure code.
• Analyze software engineering lifecycle stages — from prototyping and architecture to deployment and monitoring — and assess model capabilities across them.
• Design automated verification mechanisms for software engineering tasks.

Required Skills

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Strong expertise in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development (Python, C/C++, Rust, Go).
• Proven experience building and deploying scalable, production-grade software.
• Deep understanding of software architecture, design patterns, debugging, and code quality assessment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for structured evaluation rationales.

Ideal Background

Experience at high-growth engineering environments such as Stripe, Airbnb, Cloudflare, Datadog, or Coinbase is highly valued. Graduates from top CS programs (Stanford, MIT, CMU, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech) are welcome — though exceptional skill always takes precedence over pedigree.

Engagement Details

• Type: Contractor (no medical/paid leave benefits)
• Commitment: Flexible — minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40 hrs/week
• Duration: 1 month, with potential extensions based on performance
• Location: Must be based in the United States

Evaluation Process

The application takes approximately 15–30 minutes and includes an AI video interview.
