🌍 Remote Β· United States πŸ’Ό Full-time

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Turing is hiring a Backend Engineer to support AI model training and evaluation initiatives. The role involves creating and refining software engineering datasets and code, evaluating AI-generated solutions, and designing agents and verification mechanisms for AI-driven coding systems.

Responsibilities

  • Work on AI model training initiatives by curating code examples, building solutions, and correcting code across both Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with additional work in C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go
  • Evaluate and refine AI-generated code across backend and frontend contexts to ensure that it is efficient, scalable, and reliable
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks
  • Build agents that can verify the quality of the code and identify error patterns across full-stack applications
  • Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them
  • Design verification mechanisms that can automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task

Skills

  • This role is ideal for engineers who have built production systems at companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, or similar high-scale engineering organizations
  • We especially welcome graduates from leading programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and comparable institutions
  • Though exceptional experience and skill always take precedence over pedigree
  • Several years of software engineering experience (3 years or more)
  • Strong expertise in building full-stack applications using Python and JavaScript (React, Node.js), with the ability to work across backend and frontend codebases
  • Experience deploying scalable, production-grade software using modern languages and tools
  • Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality/review assessment
  • Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales

Benefits

  • Flexible engagement (minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40 hrs/week)
