Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

p span style= font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; You will own the production system behind Turing’s software-engineering data programs, turning complex research requirements into predictable delivery across quality, throughput, contributor performance, timelines, and cost. /span /p
p span style= font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; These programs may involve supervised coding demonstrations, repository-level tasks, agentic trajectories, reinforcement-learning environments, benchmarks, code review, and rubric-based evaluations. They can require coordinating hundreds of distributed software engineers while responding quickly to changing research requirements. /span /p
p span style= font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; This is an operations leadership role with a meaningful technical bar. You must be able to inspect code, understand tests, interrogate quality signals, and challenge a workflow or rubric when it is not producing the intended result. You will not be expected to act as the principal engineer for every program. Your primary responsibility is to build and operate the system that consistently produces high-quality technical work at scale. /span /p
