Overview

Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Senior Software Engineer to create and refine datasets for training large language models. You will work primarily in Python while also handling JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go. The role involves evaluating AI-generated code for efficiency, scalability, and reliability, and building agents that automatically verify code quality. This is a remote contractor position with flexible hours (10-40 hrs/week) for US-based engineers.

What You'll Do7

  • Curate code examples and develop solutions to train and benchmark large language models.
  • Evaluate and improve AI-generated code to ensure it is efficient, scalable, and reliable.
  • Build automated verification tools and agents in Python to assess code quality and detect error patterns.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.
  • Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them.
  • Design verification mechanisms that can automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task.
  • Provide precise corrections and solutions in Python and other languages as needed.

Requirements6

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise in Python with deep knowledge of frameworks, tooling, and best practices for production-grade software.
  • Experience building full-stack applications and deploying scalable software using 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 leading programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, or University of Pennsylvania.

Who Should Apply

Engineers with at least 3 years of experience who have shipped high-impact products and excel in Python and full-stack development. The role suits someone who can evaluate AI-generated code, design verification tools, and communicate technical reasoning clearly. US-based candidates from fast-growing tech companies or top programs are especially encouraged.
