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

Role Overview

The Chemical Reasoning & Discovery Engineer is responsible for creating high-quality reasoning datasets that evaluate and improve the scientific reasoning capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs). This role focuses on designing chemistry-centered discovery tasks that require models to analyze experimental or simulated data, identify chemical relationships, infer reaction rules and molecular behaviors, estimate parameters, and predict outcomes under varying conditions. The ideal candidate combines strong expertise in chemistry, quantitative analysis, and scientific methodology to develop rigorous, reproducible, and logically consistent evaluation tasks.

What does day-to-day look like

Designed chemistry-based reasoning scenarios using experimental results, molecular data, and simulated chemical systems. Authored multi-step tasks involving reaction analysis, chemical property inference, parameter estimation, and predictive reasoning. Developed evaluation problems focused on pattern discovery, reaction mechanisms, model selection, and scientific consistency checks. Created deterministic solutions, reference explanations, and detailed scoring rubrics for model assessment. Collaborated with reviewers and LLM engineers to ensure scientific accuracy, clarity, and reproducibility across datasets.

Required Qualifications

Demonstrated 3+ years of experience in chemistry, chemical research, scientific computing, laboratory analysis, or related analytical fields. Applied strong knowledge of chemical principles, scientific reasoning, quantitative modeling, and data interpretation. Utilized expertise in experimental design, reaction mechanisms, stoichiometry, thermodynamics, kinetics, or simulation-based analysis. Communicated complex chemical concepts, assumptions, and findings through clear and structured documentation. Evaluated scientific reasoning with exceptional attention to detail, logical consistency, and reproducible outcomes.
