Key Responsibilities:
Design and develop GenAI/LLM-based systems using tools such as Langchain and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines. Implement prompt engineering techniques and agent-based frameworks to deliver intelligent, context-aware solutions. Collaborate with the engineering team to shape and drive the technical roadmap for LLM initiatives. Translate business needs into scalable, production-ready AI solutions. Work closely with business SMEs and data teams to ensure alignment of AI models with real-world use cases. Contribute to architecture discussions, code reviews, and performance optimization.
Skills Required:
Proficient in Python, Langchain, and SQL. Understanding of LLM internals, including prompt tuning, embeddings, vector databases, and agent workflows. Background in machine learning or software engineering with a focus on system-level thinking. Experience working with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or GCP. Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams. Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
1+ years of hands-on experience in LLMs and Generative AI techniques. Experience contributing to ML/AI product pipelines or end-to-end deployments. Familiarity with MLOps and scalable deployment patterns for AI models. Prior exposure to client-facing projects or cross-functional AI teams.

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 Software Engineering work look like for a Senior Software Engineer – Python (LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation)?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Senior Software Engineer – Python (LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation), 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 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 The United States, India, Bangladesh and 6 other countries?
This specific role is restricted to The United States, India, Bangladesh, Egypt, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Turkey. 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.
