Software Engineer – AI Evaluation at Turing

Software Engineer – AI Research & Evaluation | Contractor | Remote (US Only)

Turing is seeking experienced software engineers to evaluate and shape the next generation of AI models. In this contractor role, you'll work directly on AI training initiatives — curating code, assessing model outputs, and building verification systems across a range of modern programming languages. This is a flexible engagement (10–40 hrs/week) ideal for seasoned engineers who want to contribute to cutting-edge AI research.

About Turing

Based in San Francisco, Turing is the world's leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing helps customers accelerate frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top-tier AI researchers — and applies that expertise to help enterprises turn AI proof-of-concepts into reliable, impactful production systems.

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 with a focus on systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to benchmark AI-driven coding solutions against industry standards.
• Build agents to verify the quality of systems-level and infrastructure code and identify error patterns.
• Analyze and evaluate model capabilities across the full software engineering lifecycle — from prototyping and architecture design to production, monitoring, and maintenance.
• 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 using Python, C/C++, Rust, or 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.

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

Application Process

The application takes approximately 15–30 minutes and includes an AI video interview. We welcome engineers with strong CS foundations and production-scale experience — exceptional skill always takes precedence over pedigree.
