[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer, AI Evaluation Infrastructure @Turing

Role Description

We build the infrastructure that frontier AI labs use to evaluate coding agents and language models: benchmark datasets, agent evaluation runs at scale, and automated task quality checks. You would own features across the stack, from the data model and background jobs to the screens our users work in every day.

This is a role for an experienced engineer who works independently, makes sound tradeoffs, and turns a loosely defined request into something shipped, tested, and safe to leave alone.

What you will do

• Design and ship features end to end: data model, API, background workers, and the UI when the change needs it.
• Build and improve how agents and models are evaluated: running trials in sandboxed environments, scoring results, and turning thousands of runs into results people can trust.
• Improve how benchmark tasks are quality-checked: verifiers, rubric-based and LLM-as-a-judge grading, and deciding whether a task is clear, solvable, and fair to score.
• Integrate new models, agents, and benchmarks in a way that generalizes, without a special case for each one.
• Keep the system fast and reliable as usage grows: efficient queries, safe migrations, and concurrency that holds up under load.
• Review teammates’ pull requests against our engineering guidelines and help keep the codebase consistent.

Qualifications

• Typically 5+ years building and operating production backend systems, with ownership of at least one service from design through on-call.
• Strong Python. Experience with Django (or a similar framework), PostgreSQL, and a task queue such as Celery.
• Hands-on experience in LLM evaluation, beyond calling a model API.
• Judgment about task quality.
• Good tradeoffs.
• Ownership.
• Quick adoption of team conventions.
• Comfort with a TypeScript and React frontend when a change is visible there.
• Clear writing.

Requirements

• Experience running agents in sandboxed or containerized environments (Docker, Kubernetes, or cloud sandboxes such as Modal or Daytona).
• Experience with LLM-as-a-judge or rubric-based grading, and with reducing judge bias and noise.
• Familiarity with coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, or OpenHands, and with MCP.
• Experience with distributed job scheduling, concurrency limits, or database locking at scale.
• Contributions to open-source evaluation or infrastructure projects.

How we work

• Written engineering guidelines, applied consistently, with the same review bar for everyone.
• Business logic lives in services. Hot paths stay cheap. Lint and tests pass before a pull request is ready.
• The same vocabulary in the code, the API, and the UI.
• We prefer deleting code to adding it, and simple designs to clever ones.
• A strong first month looks like several changes merged with light review, and one area of the system you can change confidently without a guide.

Interview process

• A short conversation about a system you built and the tradeoffs you made.
• A practical exercise: a focused change in an existing codebase.
• A discussion of a flawed benchmark task: what’s wrong with the instruction, the verifier, and the scoring.
• A conversation with the team.

Values

• We are client first: We put our clients at the center of everything we do, because their success is the ultimate measure of our value.
• We work at Start-Up Speed: We move fast, stay agile and favor action because momentum is the foundation of perfection.
• We are AI forward: We help our clients build the future of AI and implement it in our own roles and workflow to amplify productivity.

Benefits

• Work at the frontier of AI, helping the world’s leading AI labs improve their most advanced models by building expert datasets, RL environments, and first-of-a-kind benchmarks.
• Contribute to leading-edge AI research and showcase your work at top conferences such as ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS.
• Bring frontier AI innovation to the enterprise, applying lessons learned from leading AI labs to solve real-world business challenges.
• Collaborate with and learn from exceptional colleagues with deep AI experience from Google, Meta, Amazon, and other leading technology companies.
• Move at the pace of AI innovation, with the speed, ownership, and impact of a startup.
