Remote Python/Typescript Engineer
turingDetroit (MI)
About the role
About Turing: Turing is one of the world's leading AGI infrastructure companies, working with frontier AI labs to accelerate model development through high-quality training data, evaluations, and engineering talent.
About the Role:
We're looking for a high-taste engineer with a strong eye for quality — someone who's worked hands-on with preference data and rubric creation, and knows what separates a good example from a great one. You communicate clearly and can synthesize complex technical work the way a strong MAI dev would: concise, structured, and easy for others to act on. You're comfortable in ambiguous, fast-moving environments and default to shipping over deliberating.
What does day-to-day look like:
- Design, refine, and iterate on rubrics and evaluation criteria for preference data
- Review and label data with a high bar for quality, catching subtle issues others might miss
- Build and maintain pipelines/infra that support data generation, collection, and evaluation workflows
- Synthesize findings from data work into clear write-ups, updates, or recommendations for the team
- Collaborate closely with researchers/engineers to translate qualitative judgment into scalable processes
Required Skills:
- Proficiency in Python (especially building/maintaining pipelines and infra) or Typescript (experience contributing to or navigating large codebases like VSCode a plus)
- Hands-on experience with preference data collection and/or rubric creation
- Strong written and verbal communication — able to distill technical work into clear, actionable summaries
Demonstrated high-taste judgment — able to articulate why something is good, not just that it is.
Perks of Freelancing With Turing:
Work in a fully remote environment.
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.

Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
