The STEM Horizontal team produces the high-signal coding and STEM data frontier labs train on. We're looking for a Research Engineering Manager to lead the research engineering behind its next layer: synthetic data that measurably improves models, and new benchmarks that measure what today's evals miss.
You'll lead a team of research engineers, work side by side with research scientists, and stay close enough to the code to review an eval harness line by line or prototype a generator yourself when the team needs it. You'll also build the team: hiring research engineers is a core part of this role, not a side task. Ideally you've been on the other side, at a frontier lab, and know what makes a lab trust a dataset or a benchmark result.
Quality failures here are quiet. A subtle bug in a verifier doesn't crash anything; it ships thousands of wrong labels into someone's training run and costs weeks. If you want to build the team and the systems that catch that early, this is the seat.
A note from our CTO, Ece Kamar
Some of the most important questions in AI can't be answered from inside a single lab: how to evaluate frontier models, how data and RL truly drive capability, and what happens when AI meets the real world. At Turing, we work directly with frontier labs, the academic community, and enterprises deploying AI at scale. That creates a feedback loop where deployment shapes our research and our research shapes the field, and we publish our findings, datasets, and benchmarks openly. Join our talented team at Turing to push the frontier of AI with rigorous science that matters.

Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category.
Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.
