What is Turing?

Turing is an AI-powered technology company founded in 2018 by Jonathan Siddharth and Vijay Krishnan, headquartered in Palo Alto, California. The company serves as both a research accelerator for frontier AI labs and a trusted partner for global enterprises deploying advanced AI systems. Turing's "Intelligent Talent Cloud" platform uses AI to source, vet, and match high-quality remote developers and AI experts with clients, drawing from a network of over 4 million vetted talent profiles across 150+ countries. The company specializes in tech consulting, staff augmentation, and enterprise AI solutions, including developing large-scale reinforcement learning environments and data generation systems to train multimodal agents. Contributors work on AI model training tasks such as improving coding proficiency, advanced STEM reasoning, and model performance evaluation. Turing operates on a fully remote model, offering flexible opportunities for independent contractors and full-time remote engineers.

Mission & values

Operate the world's largest intelligent talent cloud — match Fortune 500 enterprises and frontier AI labs with vetted global software engineers and AI experts on demand.

Qualifications

Turing's vetting process is highly selective. For AI training and software development roles, candidates typically need strong programming skills in languages such as Python, Java, JavaScript, or C++. Software engineers are expected to have demonstrable experience building production applications and passing technical assessments. For AI-specific roles, familiarity with machine learning concepts, LLMs, reinforcement learning, and data annotation is valued. The platform accepts talent from over 100 countries but does not provide visa sponsorship. Strong communication skills in English are essential for all remote roles. The application process involves creating a profile, completing technical assessments, and undergoing AI-matched project placement. Turing emphasizes a good remote work ethic, self-motivation, and the ability to collaborate effectively in distributed teams.
