Job Summary

About Turing:

Turing is one of the worlds leading AGI infrastructure companies working with frontier AI labs to accelerate model development through high-quality training data evaluations and engineering talent.

About the Role:

Were looking for a high-taste engineer with a strong eye for quality someone whos worked hands-on with preference data and rubric creation and knows what separates a good example from a great one. You communicate clearly and can synthesize complex technical work the way a strong MAI dev would: concise structured and easy for others to act on. Youre comfortable in ambiguous fast-moving environments and default to shipping over deliberating.

What does day-to-day look like:

Design refine and iterate on rubrics and evaluation criteria for preference data
Review and label data with a high bar for quality catching subtle issues others might miss
Build and maintain pipelines/infra that support data generation collection and evaluation workflows
Synthesize findings from data work into clear write-ups updates or recommendations for the team
Collaborate closely with researchers/engineers to translate qualitative judgment into scalable processes

Required Skills:

Proficiency in Python (especially building/maintaining pipelines and infra) or Typescript (experience contributing to or navigating large codebases like VSCode a plus)
Hands-on experience with preference data collection and/or rubric creation
Strong written and verbal communication able to distill technical work into clear actionable summaries
Demonstrated high-taste judgment able to articulate why something is good not just that it is.

Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

Work in a fully remote environment.
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
