Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Senior Software Engineer to build datasets and evaluate AI-generated code for large language models. The role centers on curating code examples, crafting precise solutions, and correcting code across Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js) stacks, with additional work in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go. You will assess AI outputs for efficiency, scalability, and reliability while collaborating with researchers and cross-functional teams. This is a remote contractor position (minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40) for US-based engineers, initially lasting one month with possible extension based on performance.

What You'll Do8

  • Develop and refine code examples in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js) for LLM training and benchmarking.
  • Evaluate AI-generated code across backend and frontend contexts, checking for efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
  • Build automated verification agents that detect error patterns and assess code quality in full-stack applications.
  • Formulate hypotheses about stages of the software engineering cycle and test model capabilities on them.
  • Design mechanisms to automatically verify solutions to software engineering tasks.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
  • Provide clear, structured written rationales for evaluation decisions.
  • Correct and improve code in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go as needed.

Requirements6

  • At least 3 years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise in full-stack development with Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), comfortable 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 assessment.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear evaluation rationales.
  • Must be based in the United States.

Preferred Qualifications3

  • Background at high-scale engineering organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta.
  • Graduation from leading programs like Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, or University of Pennsylvania.
  • Experience with C/C++, Java, Rust, or Go.

Who Should Apply

The role suits engineers with 3+ years of full-stack experience in Python and JavaScript who have shipped production systems at scale. Candidates should be US-based and comfortable evaluating AI-generated code, writing structured rationales, and building verification tools.
