JavaScript Engineer
About The Position
Turing is building LLM evaluation and training datasets that use realistic software engineering problems. This project creates verifiable software-engineering tasks based on public repository histories using a synthetic, human-in-the-loop approach, while expanding coverage across programming languages and difficulty levels. The JavaScript Engineer will contribute hands-on software engineering work, including development-environment automation, issue triage, and evaluation of test coverage and quality. The role involves working with trending open-source repositories, running and modifying codebases locally to assess LLM performance on bug-fixing tasks, and collaborating with researchers to identify challenging repositories and issues. There may also be opportunities to lead a team of junior engineers. This is a fully remote contractor assignment. Time commitments are available at 20, 30, or 40 hours per week, with at least four hours per day and four hours of overlap with PST required. The assignment does not include medical or paid leave.
