Job summary

Turing is seeking a high-quality engineer to work remotely as an independent contractor. You will design, refine, and iterate rubrics and evaluation criteria for preference data, and you will review and label data to a high standard.

You’ll build and maintain pipelines and infrastructure supporting data generation, collection, and evaluation workflows, and you’ll translate findings into clear write-ups or recommendations for the team.

Qualifications

• Proficiency in Python or TypeScript for building pipelines and infra.
• Hands-on experience with preference data collection and rubric creation.
• Strong written and verbal communication; ability to distill complex work into summaries.
• Demonstrated high-taste judgment—explain why something is good, not just that it is.

Responsibilities

• Design, refine, and iterate rubrics and evaluation criteria for preference data.
• Review and label data with a high bar for quality.
• Build and maintain pipelines and infra that support data generation, collection, and evaluation workflows.
• Synthesize findings into clear write-ups, updates, or recommendations.
• Collaborate with researchers/engineers to translate qualitative judgment into scalable processes.

Job description

About Turing:

Turing is one of the world's 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:

We're looking for a high-taste engineer with a strong eye for quality — someone who's 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. You're 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 missBuild 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.

Engagement Details:

• Compensation: Market rate. Please share a specific rate expectation (rather than a range) so we can quickly assess mutual fit
• Availability: 40 hours/week preferred, with a minimum 6-hour overlap with Pacific Time. If you're unable to commit to 40 hours, please share your available hours and overlap window
• Employment Type: Independent contractor (does not include medical or paid leave benefits
• Duration: 3 months, with an expected start date as soon as possible

Evaluation Process (approximately 30 mins):

• One round of interview (30 mins of technical & cultural discussion)
