About the projects:

We are building LLM evaluation and training datasets to train LLMs to work on realistic software engineering problems. Our approach involves creating verifiable SWE tasks based on public repository histories, using a synthetic approach with human-in-the-loop, and expanding dataset coverage across different programming languages and difficulty levels.

About the Role:

We seek experienced software engineers (tech lead level) familiar with high-quality public GitHub repositories who can contribute to this project. Responsibilities include working with well-maintained, widely-used repositories with 500+ stars, automation of development environments, issue triaging, and evaluating test coverage and quality.

Turing is a rapidly growing AI company focused on advancing and deploying powerful AI systems. You will evaluate how LLMs interact with real code, influencing the future of AI-assisted software development. This role offers a unique blend of practical software engineering and AI research.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities:

• Analyze and triage GitHub issues across trending open-source libraries.
• Set up and configure code repositories, including Dockerization and environment setup.
• Evaluate unit test coverage and quality.
• Modify and run codebases locally to assess LLM performance in bug-fixing scenarios.
• Collaborate with researchers to identify repositories and issues challenging for LLMs.
• Lead a team of junior engineers on projects (opportunity).

Required Skills:

• Knowledge of other major languages (e.g., C++, Java, Go) is a plus.
• Proficiency with Git, Docker, and basic software pipeline setup.
• Ability to understand and navigate complex codebases.
• Experience running, modifying, and testing real-world projects locally.
• Experience contributing to or evaluating open-source projects is advantageous.
