Overview

Turing seeks a Senior Python Engineer to help train and benchmark large language models. In this contractor role, you will write, review, and correct code that teaches AI systems to reason about software engineering. The work centers on Python, with opportunities to touch JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go. You will design verification tools and evaluate model outputs against real-world engineering tasks, all while collaborating with researchers and cross-functional teams.

What You'll Do8

  • Craft and curate code examples in Python and other languages to build datasets for model training and benchmarking.
  • Review AI-generated code and provide precise corrections to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
  • Develop automated verification tools and agents in Python that assess code quality and flag error patterns.
  • Formulate hypotheses about stages of the software engineering lifecycle and test model capabilities against them.
  • Design automated mechanisms that can validate solutions to software engineering problems.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to refine AI-driven coding solutions and align them with industry benchmarks.
  • Write clear, structured rationales for evaluation decisions.
  • Contribute to model training initiatives by identifying and documenting code patterns.

Requirements6

  • At least 3 years of software engineering experience building production systems.
  • Strong expertise in Python, including frameworks, tooling, and best practices for production-grade software.
  • Experience building full-stack applications and deploying scalable software using modern languages and tools.
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code review assessment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for explaining evaluation rationales.
  • Must be based in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • Experience at high-scale engineering organizations like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta.
  • Graduation from top computer science programs such as Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, or Georgia Tech.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with 3+ years of production software engineering experience, deep Python expertise, and a strong grasp of software architecture. The role suits engineers from high-scale tech companies or top CS programs who can evaluate and improve AI-generated code. Must be based in the US.
