About Us

Based in San Francisco, California, Turing is the world’s leading research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing supports customers in two ways: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in software engineering, logical reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, by applying that expertise to help enterprises transform AI from proof of concept into proprietary intelligence with systems that perform reliably, deliver measurable impact, and drive lasting results on the P&L.

Project Overview

We are seeking a Subject Matter Expert (SME) or Technical Expert with deep experience in building and scaling data-driven and AI-based systems. The ideal candidate will combine hands-on technical expertise with strategic vision to drive the architecture, deployment, and optimization of next-generation AI and data platforms, including agentic AI solutions

What Does a Typical Day Look Like?

• Architect and lead the design of scalable data and AI platforms, ensuring performance, reliability, and security across distributed systems.


• Develop and deploy agentic AI solutions — autonomous or semi-autonomous systems capable of reasoning, decision-making, and adaptive task execution.


• Provide thought leadership in data architecture, analytics, and AI system design, shaping organizational AI strategies.


• Collaborate cross-functionally with data scientists, engineers, and product teams to deliver end-to-end intelligent systems.


• Evaluate and integrate cutting-edge tools such as Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Vertex AI, or LangChain-based frameworks for advanced reasoning capabilities.


• Mentor teams in emerging AI technologies, ensuring best practices in data management, model governance, and ethical AI deployment

Required Skills

• Strong proficiency in Python, Java, or Scala, with experience building data pipelines, AI/ML workflows, or microservices architectures.


• Expertise in data engineering, machine learning, and cloud computing (GCP, AWS, or Azure).


• Deep understanding of LLMs (Large Language Models), retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and autonomous/agentic AI systems.


• Demonstrated ability to build and scale intelligent agents or AI-driven decision support systems.


• Strong problem-solving, system design, and stakeholder management skills

Values:

• We are client first: We put our clients at the center of everything we do, because their success is the ultimate measure of our value.


• We work at Start-Up Speed: We move fast, stay agile and favor action because momentum is the foundation of perfection


• We are Al forward: We help our clients build the future of Al and implement it in our own roles and workflow to amplify productivity.
