Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Senior Backend Engineer to evaluate and improve AI-generated code across backend and frontend applications. You will build datasets for training and benchmarking large language models, working with Python, FastAPI, JavaScript, and other modern languages. The role involves curating code examples, refining AI-generated solutions, and designing verification mechanisms to ensure code quality. This is a flexible contractor position requiring a minimum of 10 hours per week, based in the United States.

What You'll Do6

  • Curate code examples and provide precise solutions to correct AI-generated code in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with additional work in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
  • Evaluate and refine AI-generated code for efficiency, scalability, and reliability across backend and frontend contexts.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks.
  • Build agents that verify code quality and identify error patterns in full-stack applications.
  • Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and assess model capabilities.
  • Design verification mechanisms that automatically verify solutions to software engineering tasks.

Requirements5

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise in building full-stack applications with Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), working across backend and frontend codebases.
  • Experience deploying scalable, production-grade software using modern languages and tools.
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality/review assessment.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with at least 3 years of software engineering experience, particularly those who have shipped high-impact products at fast-growing companies, and who excel in Python and JavaScript full-stack development. The role suits engineers who enjoy evaluating and improving AI-generated code and can communicate technical assessments clearly.
