About Turing: Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems.

Turing helps customers by collaborating with leading AI labs to push frontier model capabilities in areas such as reasoning, coding, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM, and frontier knowledge. We also leverage this work to build real-world AI systems that address mission-critical priorities for companies.

Role Overview: We are seeking PhD-level Mathematicians to join our frontier AI R&D team. Your focus will be on creating high-quality [problem, solution] data targeting known failure patterns in current language models. You will work directly with founders to develop mathematical tasks that present deep conceptual challenges, similar to those in FrontierMath or IMO-level problem-solving. Prior experience with competitive math (IMO coaching/problem-setting/winning) is a plus but not mandatory; we are open to mentoring strong PhD candidates into this space.

What You’ll Do:

Design and solve challenging math problems that reveal weaknesses in large language models.
Create detailed, step-by-step solutions with clear reasoning, including multimodal support such as equations, visuals, graphs, and simulations.
Collaborate with founders to align problem types with model evaluation goals, focusing on areas like abstraction, multi-step reasoning, and symbolic manipulation.
Help define new evaluation benchmarks inspired by high-school olympiad math, early undergraduate curricula, and theoretical mathematics.
Mentor or review work from other math contributors or junior team members.

What We’re Looking For:

PhD in Mathematics or a related field.
Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to design and solve non-standard problems.
Excellent communication skills, especially in explaining mathematical reasoning step-by-step.
Familiarity with LaTeX and math visualization tools (e.g., Desmos, GeoGebra, Python/Matplotlib).
Nice-to-have: Olympiad-level competition experience (as a contestant, coach, or problem-setter).
Exposure to AI/LLM research, particularly in evaluation or reasoning tasks.
Reliable technical setup: desktop/laptop with internet and necessary software for computations, visual content, and collaboration.
Ability to work collaboratively with other math enthusiasts.
Flexible working hours and remote work environment.

Note: Shortlisted candidates may need to complete an assessment during the selection process.
