Overview

Turing places you with an AI research team that needs engineering judgment turned into dependable evaluation workflows. The work mixes Python or TypeScript development with hands-on preference-data collection and rubric design. You will review model outputs against a strict quality bar, then explain the tradeoffs you spot in writing that researchers can act on. The engagement runs about three months, remote, at 20 or more hours each week with four hours of daily overlap with Pacific Time.

What You'll Do5

  • Draft and sharpen evaluation rubrics plus the criteria used to judge preference data.
  • Review sample outputs closely, flag subtle problems, and spell out the tradeoffs behind each call.
  • Build and maintain Python or TypeScript tooling and pipelines that carry data collection and evaluation work.
  • Turn findings into short, practical write-ups for the researchers and engineers who read them.
  • Hold one consistent quality bar across reviewed examples so the evaluation set stays trustworthy.

Requirements6

  • Five or more years of professional Python work, with emphasis on pipelines or infrastructure, or comparable TypeScript experience inside a large codebase.
  • Direct experience gathering preference data or writing evaluation rubrics.
  • Sound technical judgment paired with clear writing and speaking skills.
  • A current LinkedIn profile attached to your resume.
  • Availability for at least 20 hours per week, including four hours of daily overlap with Pacific Time.
  • Residence in the United States or Canada.

Who Should Apply

Engineers with five or more years in Python pipelines or TypeScript at scale, who have already built preference datasets or rubrics, fit this contract well. Expect part-time hours, a fixed Pacific Time overlap, and roughly three months of work.

Salary Insight

Pay is $100 per hour for a contract of about three months at 20 or more hours per week. That lands near the top of freelance engineering rates for evaluation and data pipeline projects, and it lines up with the five-year experience floor the team sets.
