Overview
Turing, a research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeks a software engineering evaluator to build and refine datasets that train and benchmark large language models. You will work across Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with additional tasks in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go, evaluating AI-generated code for efficiency and reliability. The role involves designing verification mechanisms and building agents that check code quality across full-stack applications. This is a remote contractor position requiring at least 10 hours per week, with a one-month initial term and possible extension.
What You'll Do6
- Curate code examples and provide precise solutions to correct code across Python, JavaScript (React, Node.js), and other languages like C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go.
- Assess AI-generated code in both backend and frontend contexts, ensuring it meets standards for efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks.
- Build agents that verify code quality and detect error patterns in full-stack applications.
- Formulate hypotheses about stages of the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture, API design, implementation, launch, monitoring) and evaluate model capabilities on them.
- Design automated verification mechanisms to check solutions for software engineering tasks.
Requirements5
- 3+ years of software engineering experience building production systems.
- Strong full-stack development skills with Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), comfortable working across backend and frontend codebases.
- Experience deploying scalable, production-grade software using modern languages and tools.
- Deep knowledge of software architecture, design, debugging, and code quality assessment.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills to articulate clear evaluation rationales.
Preferred Qualifications2
- Experience at high-scale engineering organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, or Meta.
- Graduation from leading programs like Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, or University of Pennsylvania.
Who Should Apply
Engineers with at least three years of full-stack experience in Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js) who enjoy evaluating and improving AI-generated code. The role suits someone with a strong grasp of software architecture and debugging, and clear communication skills for structured evaluations.
