About Turing & Role:
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. We are staffing a frontier AI data initiative building the infrastructure and training data used to develop and evaluate AI agents. You will be assigned to one of two tracks: connectors or tasks.
Responsibilities:

• Use AI coding agents throughout development, QA, and validation.
• Participate in onboarding, calibration, and quality reviews; deliver to the quality bar on agreed milestones.
• Project runs on two tracks:
  • Connecters track:
    • Build Python backend applications that replicate existing SaaS tools (Slack, Linear, Jira, Notion, Gmail, wikis).
    • Test and validate connectors so each behaves faithfully like the system it emulates; extend existing connectors and build new ones within agreed timeframes.
  • Task track:
    • Mine data and workflows to identify candidates for long-horizon task development, and author realistic tasks from them.
    • Verify task quality, realism, and correctness through structured QA; write evaluation rubrics defining correct, partially correct, and deficient work.

Requirements:

• 3+ years of backend development experience with strong Python (FastAPI, Flask, or Django).
• Git, Docker, and pipeline basics, with solid testing and code-quality practices.
• Experience building scalable backends, REST APIs, and microservices.
• Daily use of AI coding assistants (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or similar).

About Turing:

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.
