Overview

Turing seeks a Senior Python Engineer to join its LLM evaluation team, crafting high-quality datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You'll spend most of your time writing and reviewing Python code for backend services and data pipelines, while also working with JavaScript, C++, Java, Rust, and Go. The role involves building automated verification tools and assessing AI-generated code for efficiency and reliability. This is a flexible contractor position with a minimum of 10 hours per week, open to engineers based in the United States.

What You'll Do6

  • Curate and write code examples primarily in Python, with additional tasks in JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
  • Evaluate and refine AI-generated code to meet standards for efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
  • Build Python-based agents and automated verification tools that check code quality and flag error patterns.
  • Formulate 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 verification mechanisms that automatically validate solutions to software engineering tasks.

Requirements6

  • At least 3 years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise in Python, including deep knowledge of frameworks, tooling, and best practices for production software.
  • Experience building full-stack applications and deploying scalable software using modern languages and tools.
  • Solid grasp of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality assessment.
  • Excellent written and verbal 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 leading programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, or University of Pennsylvania.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with at least 3 years of software engineering experience and deep Python skills, who have built and deployed full-stack applications. The role suits engineers who can assess code quality and communicate evaluation rationales clearly. Those with backgrounds at high-growth tech companies or top-tier institutions are especially encouraged.
