Overview

Turing seeks a Senior Software Engineer to build and assess datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You will work with languages like Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS), focusing on systems-level code, performance, and infrastructure. The role involves curating code examples, solving problems, and refining AI-generated code for efficiency and reliability. You will collaborate with researchers and cross-functional teams to improve enterprise AI coding solutions. This is a remote contractor position, requiring 10-40 hours per week, based in the United States.

What You'll Do7

  • Curate high-quality code examples and solutions in Python, C/C++, Rust, Go, Java, and JavaScript (including ReactJS) for AI training.
  • Evaluate and improve AI-generated code with a focus on systems-level correctness, performance, and reliability.
  • Develop agents that automatically verify the quality of systems and infrastructure code and detect error patterns.
  • Formulate hypotheses about software engineering stages (prototyping, architecture, API design, implementation, launch, monitoring) and test model capabilities.
  • Design automated verification mechanisms for software engineering tasks.
  • Work with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
  • Provide clear, structured rationales for evaluation decisions.

Requirements6

  • At least 3 years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise in systems programming, infrastructure, or backend development using Python, C/C++, Rust, or Go.
  • Experience building and deploying scalable, production-grade software.
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality assessment.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for explaining 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

The role suits engineers with 3+ years of experience in systems programming or backend development, particularly those skilled in Python, C/C++, Rust, or Go. Candidates who have built scalable production software and can articulate technical evaluations clearly will thrive here.
