About Turing
Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps leading AI labs improve the reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making capabilities of large language models (LLMs) through high-quality human feedback, evaluation, and training data.
Role Overview
We are seeking Board Game Reasoning Experts to help train and evaluate next-generation AI models. In this role, you will leverage your expertise in board games, game mechanics, strategic reasoning, probability, and complex rule systems to create, review, and evaluate high-quality datasets that improve AI performance.
You will work on challenging tasks involving game logic, decision-making, strategic planning, rule interpretation, and scenario analysis, helping frontier AI systems develop stronger reasoning capabilities.
What Does Day-to-Day Look Like? Create and review game-based reasoning tasks designed to evaluate AI systems. Analyze board game scenarios, strategic decision trees, and rule-based systems. Evaluate AI-generated responses for correctness, consistency, and reasoning quality. Develop prompts, rubrics, and evaluation guidelines for board game and strategy-focused tasks. Identify logical errors, rule violations, and flawed reasoning in AI outputs. Contribute to benchmark creation and quality assurance processes for AI evaluation projects. Collaborate with project teams to improve dataset quality and evaluation methodologies. Requirements Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Mathematics, Cognitive Science, Game Design, Philosophy, Economics, or a related analytical field. 2+ years of professional or semi-professional experience in board game design, playtesting, tabletop game communities, or related strategy-focused environments. Strong understanding of logic, probabilistic reasoning, game mechanics, and complex rule systems. Background in game theory, behavioral economics, decision science, or formal logic. Familiarity with modern board games, trading card games (TCGs), tabletop RPGs, strategy games, or competitive game systems. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Excellent written communication skills. Preferred Qualifications Prior experience in data annotation, AI training, prompt engineering, QA, game design, puzzle design, or rules-based system analysis. Experience creating evaluation rubrics, benchmark datasets, or quality assurance frameworks. Experience with Python, SQL, or data analysis tools. Experience working on RLHF, model evaluation, synthetic data generation, or LLM benchmarking projects. Familiarity with recently released strategy or tabletop games and the ability to quickly learn new rule systems. 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: At least 4 hours per day and minimum 20 hours per week with overlap of 4 hours with PST. Engagement type : Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave) Duration of contract : 2 months; [expected start date is next week] Evaluation Process Take home Assessment

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 – Rust (LLM Evaluation & Repository Validation)?
Tasks here are scoped to Software Engineering, not generic labeling. As a Senior Software Engineer – Rust (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.
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 8-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 India, Canada, Europe?
This specific role is restricted to India, Canada, Europe. 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.
