About Turing
Turing is an AI-powered tech services company with a mission to accelerate AGI advancement and deployment by bridging the gap between global talent from 100+ countries and the world's best foundational LLM companies, by helping them improve performance through model evaluation, fine-tuning, feedback, factuality and handling diverse data.
Role Overview
We are seeking a highly creative and detail-oriented Senior 3D Artist with a strong understanding of stylized visual design and material-driven aesthetics. The ideal candidate should be capable of creating high-quality 3D assets that combine digital precision with handcrafted-inspired textures and finishes. This role requires a strong eye for form, lighting, and materials, along with the ability to translate concepts into visually compelling 3D outputs.Key Responsibilities
- Create high-quality 3D models and stylized assets based on project briefs
- Develop assets across styles such as low-poly, voxel, and material driven aesthetics
- Simulate and replicate handcrafted textures including clay, fabric, paper and textiles
- Ensure accuracy in geometry, topology, lighting, shading, and rendering
- Produce multiple variations while maintaining consistency in style and quality
- Optimize models and assets for intended use (render, real-time, or production pipelines)
- Document workflows, processes, and asset metadata clearly
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and incorporate feedback efficientlySkills
- 3D modeling
- Texturing
- UV mapping
- Lighting
- Shading
- ZBrush
Tools & Software
- Blender
- ZBrush
- Adobe Creative Suite
Requirements
- Minimum 8+ years of professional experience as a 3D Artist or in a similar role
- Strong portfolio showcasing stylized 3D work and material exploration
- Solid understanding of 3D modeling, topology, lighting, shading, and rendering
- Ability to replicate real-world materials and handcrafted textures convincingly
- Strong sense of form, silhouette, and visual storytelling
- Familiarity with non-photorealistic rendering (NPR) workflows
- Should know various useful plug-ins/scripts of After Effects, 3ds Max, and Cinema 4D.
- Good written and verbal communication skills
- High attention to detail and strong time management
Benefits
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects.
- Competitive compensation.
- Flexible working hours and remote work environment.
Application Process
- Shortlisted candidates will complete an assessment.
- Once the assessment is cleared, candidates can start.
How long hiring takes
Across the AI training platforms we refer candidates to, the median gap between referral and hire is about 30 days. It varies by platform and role, so treat it as a rough guide for 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.
How is my creative work used in AI training?
As ground-truth data: for writers, that means creative generation samples; for voice actors, it often means training text-to-speech models. Check the specific contract details on rights usage for your voice or likeness before signing.
Do creative AI training roles allow creative freedom?
Some, within limits. You're hired for your talent, but most projects still require following strict style guides, like keeping a neutral tone or matching a technical-manual style. Consistency across the dataset matters more than personal expression here.
What does Generalist work look like for a Senior 3D Artist?
Tasks here are scoped to Generalist, not generic labeling. As a Senior 3D Artist, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Generalist) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Generalist background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
AI Training and Content Review 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 $30–$65/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.
Can I apply from outside Japan?
This specific role is open only to people based in Japan. 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.
