Software Engineer – AI Evaluation at Turing

Software Engineer – AI Research & Evaluation | Contractor | Remote (US-based) | 10–40 hrs/week

Turing is seeking experienced US-based Software Engineers to evaluate and improve AI-generated code as part of cutting-edge research initiatives for frontier AI labs. This flexible contractor role is ideal for engineers with production-level experience who want to shape the future of large language models.

About Turing

Based in San Francisco, Turing is the world's leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing helps accelerate frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top AI researchers — and applies that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary, measurable intelligence.

What You'll Do

• Curate code examples, build precise solutions, and correct code across the full stack — Python, JavaScript (React, Node.js), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
• Evaluate and refine AI-generated code for efficiency, scalability, and reliability across backend and frontend contexts.
• Build agents to verify code quality and identify error patterns in full-stack applications.
• Design automated verification mechanisms for software engineering tasks.
• Hypothesize on software engineering lifecycle stages — prototyping, architecture, API design, production, launch, monitoring — and evaluate model capabilities across them.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to benchmark and enhance AI-driven coding solutions.

Required Skills

• 3+ years of software engineering experience in production environments.
• Strong full-stack expertise in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js).
• Experience deploying scalable, production-grade software with modern tools and languages.
• Deep understanding of software architecture, design, debugging, and code quality assessment.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills for structured evaluation rationales.

Ideal Background

This role is especially well-suited for engineers with experience at high-scale organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta, or graduates from leading engineering programs. Exceptional skill and experience always take 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

Application Process

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