Overview

Turing seeks a senior software engineer to create datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You will write and review code in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), plus C/C++, Java, Rust, or Go, evaluating AI-generated solutions for quality and scalability. The role involves building agents that check code correctness and hypothesizing about steps in the software engineering cycle. This is a flexible contractor position (10–40 hours/week) for someone based in the United States, with a one-month initial term and possible extension.

What You'll Do6

  • Curate code examples, provide precise solutions, and correct code across Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js) stacks.
  • Evaluate AI-generated code in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go for efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
  • Build agents that verify code quality and detect error patterns in full-stack applications.
  • 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.
  • Collaborate with researchers and cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry benchmarks.

Requirements5

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience.
  • Strong expertise building full-stack applications with Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), able to work 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/review assessment.
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales.

Who Should Apply

Candidates with 3+ years of software engineering experience, especially those who have shipped high-impact products at fast-growing companies and have strong full-stack skills in Python and JavaScript. The role suits engineers who enjoy evaluating code quality and designing verification methods for AI models, and who can commit at least 10 hours per week from the United States.
