[Remote] Remote Senior Backend Engineer (Python/FastAPI)

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Turing is a research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a partner for enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. The Senior Backend Engineer will create and evaluate code datasets for training and benchmarking large language models, primarily using Python across backend services, data pipelines, and ML infrastructure. The role also involves building verification tools, refining AI-generated code, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to improve AI-driven coding solutions.

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

Skills

• • 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
• • Commitment: flexible engagement, minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40 hrs/week
• • Location: Candidates must be based in the United States
• This role is ideal for engineers who have built production systems at companies like Google, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta, or similar high-scale engineering organizations
• We especially welcome graduates from top computer science programs such as Stanford, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, UC Berkeley, Georgia Tech, and comparable institutions — though exceptional experience and skill always take precedence over pedigree

Benefits

• Flexible engagement, minimum 10 hrs/week, up to 40 hrs/week
