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
As a Delivery Leader for our LLM Training business, you will play a pivotal role in leading our efforts to develop high-quality, foundational LLMs. This position requires managing large teams of software engineers and data scientists dedicated to performing various Supervised Fine Tuning (SFT) and Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) tasks. Your leadership will ensure the delivery of superior SFT and RLHF datasets, achieving optimal outcomes in terms of quality, throughput, and cost. What does day-to-day look like:
- Lead and manage large teams (20+) of Python, JavaScript, Java (and other long tail of languages) developers to execute technical tasks effectively.
- Collaborate closely with researcher clients, ensuring their satisfaction with the delivered work.
- Maintain rigorous review processes to ensure the highest quality of datasets.
- Oversee the transition of projects from initiation to stable states, taking full responsibility for delivery
- Identify and implement measures to enhance the quality of Python/JavaScript/Java etc. code within the team.
- Ensure the team's work is of high quality, addressing any issues related to the clarity of questions, methodology, result communication, or bugs. Requirements:
- 8+ years of professional software engineering experience, including 3+ years in an engineering management role.
- Proven experience in managing large technical teams in a delivery-oriented role with at least one of the following, ideally both: Python or Java Javascript
- Demonstrated ability to engage in hands-on technical work, identifying and resolving quality issues.
- Excellent leadership and people management skills, with a focus on motivating teams and fostering a collaborative work environment.
- Strong communication and stakeholder management abilities, capable of effectively collaborating with clients and internal partners.
Why join Us?
Our company is at the cutting edge of AI and Machine Learning, offering unique opportunities to contribute to the advancement of LLMs. You will lead a team of talented individuals, collaborate with top-tier clients, and be part of a dynamic and innovative culture. We are committed to the professional growth, providing a supportive environment where you can thrive and make a significant impact in the AI industry.

Why this role
This Engineering Manager role is for people with real engineering management experience to evaluate AI reasoning on technical leadership, team process, and engineering tradeoff questions. The review sits above pure coding tasks, testing judgment calls a manager makes rather than code a developer writes.
Talent pool
We're light on Business candidates
We've matched 55 people with a Business background against 1011 Business listings we've tracked, so most go out without one. Set up a profile and we'll consider you for a role like this one.

Common 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.
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 Business work look like for an Engineering Manager?
Tasks here are scoped to Business, not generic labeling. As an Engineering Manager, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Business) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Business background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Physical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Inorganic Chemistry, and Coding are named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with these, expect the screening process to test for them directly rather than accepting adjacent experience as a substitute.
How much does this specific role pay?
The listing doesn't state a rate. The $15–$40/hr shown here is our estimate from the role type and location (see /pay-methodology), so treat it as a rough guide and confirm the actual rate with the platform before committing time.
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.
Do I need a Master's to qualify?
This role lists a master's degree as a requirement. In practice, the domain assessment is the real gate. If you can pass it, the degree is usually secondary. However, some platforms verify credentials formally, so list your actual qualifications accurately on your profile.
Can I apply from outside the United States, Germany, or India?
This specific role is open only to people based in the United States, Germany, and India. If you are somewhere else, applying is unlikely to lead to an offer even if you pass the assessment, because the restriction is usually about where the work can legally be contracted rather than your skills. Read the full description for any tax-residency or right-to-work caveats before you apply, since they can differ by country.
