Overview
Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a Software Engineer to create and refine Python code for AI model training and evaluation. In this contractor role, you will curate code examples, build automated verification tools, and assess AI-generated code for efficiency and reliability. Work spans backend services, data pipelines, and ML infrastructure, with additional tasks in JavaScript (ReactJS), C++, Java, Rust, and Go. The engagement is remote, requires U.S. residency, and offers flexible hours from 10 to 40 per week for an initial month with possible extension.
What You'll Do8
- Curate code examples and provide precise solutions to train and benchmark large language models.
- Evaluate and refine AI-generated code to improve efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
- Build agents and automated verification tools in Python that check code quality and flag error patterns.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance enterprise-level AI-driven coding solutions.
- 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 automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task.
- Work across languages including JavaScript (ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go as needed for dataset coverage.
- Provide clear, structured evaluation rationales in written and oral form.
Requirements6
- 3+ years of software engineering experience building production systems.
- 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.
- Candidates must be based in the United States.
Preferred Qualifications3
- Experience at high-scale engineering organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta.
- Graduation from top computer science programs like Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, or Georgia Tech.
- Familiarity with JavaScript (ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, or Go.
Who Should Apply
Engineers with at least 3 years of production software experience and deep Python skills, especially those who have built full-stack systems at high-scale companies. The role suits someone who enjoys evaluating code, designing verification tools, and working with AI teams to improve model capabilities.
