Remote Senior Backend Engineer (Python/FastAPI) – AI Evaluation (US-based)

Turing is a leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs, seeking a Senior Backend Engineer to create datasets for training and evaluating large language models. The role involves collaborating with researchers to enhance AI-driven coding solutions and ensuring the efficiency and reliability of AI-generated code.

Responsibilities:

• Work on AI model training initiatives by curating code examples, building solutions, and correcting code — primarily in Python, with additional work in JavaScript (including ReactJS), C/C++, Java, Rust, and Go
• Evaluate and refine AI-generated code to ensure that it is efficient, scalable, and reliable
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to enhance AI-driven coding solutions against industry performance benchmarks
• Build agents and automated verification tools in Python that can verify the quality of code and identify error patterns
• Hypothesize on steps in the software engineering cycle (prototyping, architecture design, API design, production implementation, launch, experiments, monitoring, operational maintenance) and evaluate model capabilities on them
• Design verification mechanisms that can automatically verify a solution to a software engineering task

Requirements:

• Several years of software engineering experience (3 years or more)
• Strong expertise in Python with deep knowledge of frameworks, tooling, and best practices for building production-grade software
• Experience building full-stack applications and deploying scalable software using modern languages and tools
• Deep understanding of software architecture, design, development, debugging, and code quality/review assessment
• Excellent oral and written communication skills for clear, structured evaluation rationales
• Ideal for engineers who have shipped high-impact products at fast-moving companies like Stripe, Airbnb, Cloudflare, Datadog, Coinbase, or similar high-growth engineering environments
• Graduates from leading programs such as Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, Yale, University of Pennsylvania, and comparable institutions
