Overview
Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Senior Python Engineer to build and refine datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You will work with Python, C/C++, Rust, and other languages to curate code examples, correct AI-generated code, and design verification mechanisms. The role emphasizes systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability, with a focus on infrastructure and backend development. This is a flexible contractor position requiring at least 10 hours per week, with a duration of one month and potential extension. Candidates must be based in the United States.
What You'll Do6
- Curate code examples and build solutions in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS) to support AI model training.
- Evaluate and refine AI-generated code for systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
- Build agents that verify the quality of systems-level and infrastructure code and detect error patterns.
- 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 check solutions to software engineering tasks.
Requirements6
- 3+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong expertise in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development using languages such as Python, C/C++, Rust, and Go.
- Experience building and deploying scalable, production-grade software with modern languages and tools.
- Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality assessment.
- Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured 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 programs with strong CS foundations such as University of Washington, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, UT Austin, University of Michigan, or Purdue.
Who Should Apply
Candidates with at least 3 years of software engineering experience, particularly in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development using Python, C/C++, Rust, or Go, and who are based in the US. The role suits engineers who have built production systems at scale and can evaluate code quality with precision.
