Role overview
Frontier AI400 employees
Turing is an AGI infrastructure company specializing in post-training large language models (LLMs) to enhance advanced reasoning, problem-solving, and cognitive tasks. Founded in 2018, Turing develops large-scale reinforcement learning environments and data generation systems that train multimodal agents to improve model performance in coding, real-world economically valuable tasks, and advanced STEM reasoning. Based in San Francisco, California, Turing operates as a research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. The company supports customers by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data and advanced training pipelines, and by applying its expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence systems that deliver practical impact.
What you will do
- Lead end-to-end delivery of strategic data projects, from initial customer kickoff to final quality-assured data pipelines, ensuring perfect alignment with researcher specifications and timelines.
- Orchestrate and performance-manage distributed teams of 100 to 1,000+ domain expert contributors, designing incentive systems and daily war room syncs to hit high-throughput production targets.
- Build and maintain long-term trust with frontier AI lab researchers, acting as the primary face of Turing while identifying expansion opportunities for multi-year strategic partnerships.
Who this is a fit for
- Proven background in consulting, finance, or high-growth startups with a track record of managing complex, operationally intense projects and multi-stakeholder relationships under significant pressure.
- Exceptional analytical and communication skills, capable of diagnosing production bottlenecks in real-time, building measurement plans, and presenting technical solutions to demanding, high-profile clients in plain language.
- Experience managing large-scale teams or distributed contributor pools, with a genuine passion for gritty process optimization, quality control frameworks, and codifying scalable operational playbooks for others.
Why this role is remarkable
- Direct impact on the path to AGI by delivering the critical human expert data used to train and evaluate frontier models at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta AI.
- Unrivaled exposure to the AI ecosystem, working as a primary partner for researchers at the world's most prestigious AI labs rather than coordinating with procurement teams.
- Massive earning potential and leadership influence, with total OTE exceeding $300k-$500k and the opportunity to build the operational playbooks for a global AI leader.
