Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Senior Python Engineer to build and evaluate datasets that train and benchmark large language models. The role centers on curating code examples, writing precise solutions, and correcting AI-generated code across Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS). You will focus on systems-level code, performance-critical applications, and infrastructure, collaborating with researchers and cross-functional teams. This is a flexible contractor position requiring a minimum of 10 hours per week, with up to 40 hours available.

What You'll Do6

  • Create and curate code examples, build solutions, and fix code in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS).
  • Assess and improve AI-generated code with attention to systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
  • Develop agents that verify the quality of systems-level and infrastructure code and detect error patterns.
  • Form hypotheses about stages of the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and test model capabilities on them.
  • Design automated verification mechanisms to check solutions for 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/review assessment.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales.
  • Must be based in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications2

  • Experience at high-growth companies like Stripe, Airbnb, Cloudflare, Datadog, or Coinbase.
  • Graduation from top computer science programs such as Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, or Georgia Tech.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with at least 3 years of software engineering experience, strong systems programming skills in Python, C/C++, Rust, or Go, and a track record of building scalable production software. The role suits engineers who enjoy code review, debugging, and designing verification mechanisms, and who can communicate evaluation rationales clearly.
