Overview
Turing is a research accelerator for frontier AI labs and enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. As a software engineering evaluator, you will help build datasets for training and benchmarking large language models. Your daily work will involve curating code examples, providing precise solutions, and correcting code across languages such as Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS). You will also evaluate and refine AI-generated code for systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability, collaborating with researchers and cross-functional teams.
What You'll Do7
- Curate and correct code examples in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS) for AI model training.
- Evaluate AI-generated code for systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
- Build agents that verify the quality of infrastructure and systems-level code and spot error patterns.
- Work with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
- Formulate hypotheses about steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and assess model capabilities on them.
- Design verification mechanisms that automatically check solutions to software engineering tasks.
- Provide clear, structured evaluation rationales in written and oral communication.
Requirements5
- 3+ years of software engineering experience.
- Strong expertise in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development using 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.
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, Purdue, or comparable institutions.
Who Should Apply
Candidates with 3+ years of software engineering experience and strong systems programming skills in Python, C/C++, Rust, and Go will thrive here. The role suits engineers who have built production systems at scale and can clearly explain code quality assessments. If you enjoy evaluating AI-generated code and designing verification mechanisms, apply.
