Software Engineer – QC | Contractor | Remote (India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Bangladesh, Turkey, Mexico)
Join Turing's frontier AI data initiative as a Quality Control Software Engineer — the last line of defense ensuring every AI agent task and evaluation rubric that ships is realistic, correct, and unambiguous. This is a 35-week contractor role requiring at least 20 hours per week with 4 hours of daily overlap with PST.
About Turing
Turing is one of the world's fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing partners with leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, and STEM — and builds real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical challenges for enterprises.
Role Overview
You'll be embedded in the QC team for a frontier AI data initiative that produces training data and evaluations for AI agents. Your work directly shapes the quality bar for tasks and rubrics before they reach production.
What You'll Do
- Review long-horizon agent tasks authored by the mining team for realism, correctness, and scope — catching flawed assumptions, ambiguity, and missing edge cases before tasks ship.
- Pressure-test rubrics to confirm they define completion precisely, grade consistently, and cannot be gamed or misread.
- Validate tasks end-to-end against connector environments, verifying that stated objectives are achievable and expected outcomes hold.
- Reproduce and debug failures, then deliver clear, actionable findings back to task authors and connector engineers.
- Define and continuously improve QC standards, checklists, and processes as the initiative scales.
What We're Looking For
- Strong backend software engineering skills, primarily in Python — able to read, run, and debug others' code independently.
- Working knowledge of GCP, Docker, virtual machines, and Harbor.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a high bar for correctness — you find the failures others miss.
- Sharp written communication — precise, actionable feedback on tasks and rubrics is central to this role.
- Ability to reason about real-world workflows and judge whether a task faithfully represents one.
- High daily proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot) — a hard requirement.
Nice to Have
- Experience in QA, evaluation design, red-teaming, or data quality at scale.
- Experience building or evaluating agentic/LLM systems.
- Familiarity with SaaS tools (Slack, Linear, Jira, Notion, Gmail, wikis) at an API or data-model level.
- Strong generalist backend engineering skills with the ability to move across mining and connectors when needed.
Offer Details
- Commitment: Minimum 20 hours/week with at least 4 hours/day overlap with PST
- Employment Type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)
- Duration: 35 weeks (expected start: next week)
- Location: Remote — open to candidates in India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Ghana, Bangladesh, Turkey, and Mexico
