  • Build and maintain automated test frameworks (Python-based)
  • Ensure reproducibility and data integrity of experiments
  • Perform API, integration, and performance testing
  • Collaborate with ML and engineering teams to identify edge cases

Requirements

  • 5+ years of full-time QA experience
  • Strong Python and test automation skills (PyTest or similar)
  • Understanding of QA methodologies and debugging
  • Basic knowledge of Reinforcement Learning concepts
  • Experience with APIs, CI/CD, and distributed systems
  • Experience working on ML / AI-based projects
  • Strong experience in test automation and SQL
  • Backend QA experience (API, services, data validation)

Perks of Freelancing With Turing

  • Work in a fully remote environment.
  • Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

Offer Details

  • Commitments Required: 40 hours per week with at least 4 hours PST overlap

Common questions

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.

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.

What does task-based AI training work 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 Software Engineering work look like for a Senior QA Engineer?

Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Senior QA Engineer, expect to draw on real domain judgment (evaluating outputs, correcting errors, or providing expert reasoning specific to Software Engineering) rather than following a one-size-fits-all rubric. If you don't have hands-on Software Engineering background, this is likely not the right listing to start with.

What specific skills does this listing call for?

Coding, SQL, and Python 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–$35/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 Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia and 9 other countries?

This specific role is open only to people based in Bangladesh, Brazil, Colombia, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam, and Ghana. 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.
