About this Role
From the Turing listing
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
We are seeking an AI Prompt & Policy Specialist to help design, evaluate, and improve how AI systems interact with tools, APIs, and users across multiple locales. In this role, you will work at the intersection of prompt engineering, policy design, and safety, ensuring that AI-driven workflows are accurate, compliant, and user-friendly.
You will use your API/JSON literacy, SQL basics, policy creation skills, and strong critical reasoning to review, refine, and design prompts and behaviors for AI systems interacting with products like Slack, PayPal, and other third-party tools. This role also requires strong communication skills and awareness of safety and content filtering, especially across a wide range of languages and locales.
What does day-to-day life look like?
Design, review, and refine prompts and instructions for AI systems interacting with tools, APIs, and external services. Read and understand API/JSON schemas and arguments to ensure correct parameter usage and tool behavior. Apply SQL basics to validate data, perform simple checks, and support analysis of AI or tool behavior. Create, document, and maintain policies and guidelines governing AI interactions, content handling, and tool workflows. Develop workflow knowledge for specific tools (e.g., Slack, PayPal and similar platforms) and encode that into prompts and policies. Ensure safety and compliance by applying content filtering guidelines and detecting unsafe or non-compliant outputs. Evaluate AI responses for critical reasoning quality, correctness of parameters, and adherence to policies. Support multilingual use cases by validating prompts and responses across multiple locales, with attention to nuance and clarity. Collaborate with product, engineering, and safety teams to iterate on prompts, policies, and workflows based on evaluation findings. Document edge cases, decision rationales, and recommendations with clear, concise written communication.
Requirements
3–6 years of experience in any combination of: AI operations, content review, QA, product operations, policy, or technical support roles. Strong API / JSON literacy: ability to read schemas, understand arguments, and verify correct parameter usage. SQL basics: ability to run simple queries to validate data, investigate issues, or support analysis. Demonstrated experience with prompt engineering or writing clear, structured instructions for AI or automation systems. Proven policy creation skills: drafting, interpreting, and applying guidelines or policies in an operational setting. Familiarity with tool-specific workflows (e.g., Slack, PayPal, or similar SaaS platforms), including typical user actions and edge cases. Strong communication skills, with the ability to write clear, concise rationales and explanations; comfort working with multilingual contexts across many locales. High safety awareness for content filtering, including sensitivity to harmful, abusive, or policy-violating content. Excellent critical reasoning and judgment, especially when evaluating ambiguous or complex cases. Strong attention to detail, particularly in checking parameters, arguments, and compliance with specified schemas or policies.
Perks of Freelancing With Turing
Work in a fully remote environment. Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

What to Expect
Looking at Turing Languages listings we've tracked, contracts in this domain typically run about 7.8 weeks. Actual length varies by project, but this gives you a realistic baseline going in. This listing's 12-week contract is longer than the typical 7.8-week Turing Languages engagement.
Based on 16 extracted Turing Languages listings.
Why This Role
Rare opportunity for top 1% experts. Earn $27/hr contributing to the world's most advanced AI labs. This is one of the few roles where academic precision is valued as highly as commercial output.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be a software engineer to work for Turing?
No, not anymore. Turing built its name matching senior engineers with Silicon Valley companies, but it has since expanded into AGI infrastructure work and now hires non-engineering domain experts, technical writers, and researchers for post-training data annotation and RLHF. A strong analytical background and excellent English matter more than coding ability.
How does Turing's talent matching work?
Turing calls it the Intelligent Talent Cloud. You build a profile and go through vetting (automated tests, an AI-powered interview, practical skill assessments), and once vetted, Turing's algorithm surfaces your profile directly to partner companies like Fortune 500s and top AI labs. You don't browse listings or bid on work; matches come to you.
How and when does Turing pay contractors?
Monthly, in USD, via Deel, Payoneer, or direct bank transfer. You're engaged as an independent contractor responsible for your own local taxes. Plan your cash flow around a monthly cycle if you're used to weekly payouts elsewhere.
What does task-based AI training work actually look like?
Practical, hands-on data work: recording short videos, categorizing images, rating text responses, or analyzing data. Tasks are designed to be short and distinct, typically 5 to 60 minutes each.
What does asynchronous AI training work mean in practice?
No set hours, no check-ins, no meetings. You log in when you want, pick up an available task, complete it, and submit; nobody is waiting on you in real time. That's different from remote employment, where you're expected online during business hours. The tradeoff: you're competing with others for available tasks, so an empty queue means there's simply nothing to do until more work is released.
What does Languages work look like for a Chemistry Expert (PhD/Master's)?
Tasks here are scoped to Languages, not generic labeling. As a Chemistry Expert (PhD/Master's), expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Languages) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Languages background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
How many hours per week does this role require?
Based on the listing, this role is scoped at about 20 hours per week, over roughly a 12-week contract. Treat this as a real commitment expectation, not a loose estimate.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?
You'll be taken to Turing's external site to complete your application there. This listing links through a referral, but the process is identical to applying directly; the link just routes you correctly. Create an account on their site and follow their onboarding steps.
Can I apply from outside Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt and 7 other countries?
This specific role is restricted to Bangladesh, Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Ghana. If you are outside these locations, applying is unlikely to result in an offer even if you pass the assessment. Check the full job description for any VPN or tax-residency caveats.
Is there an interview?
Yes. Technical Interview for 60 mins
