Turing supports customers by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data and expert contributors, and by helping enterprises deploy AI systems that deliver measurable business impact.

About the Role

We are seeking a Ganita Jyotish (Mathematical Astrology) Expert with strong command of the computational backbone of Jyotish.

In this role, you will create evaluation problems with precise, verifiable numerical answers, including full step-by-step arithmetic and derivations. Your tasks will stress-test AI models on rigorous calculation workflows such as planetary longitude conversions, lagna computation, dasha balances, ashtakavarga tables, and ashtakoot (36-point) matching.

Key Responsibilities

• Create 15–25 calculation-heavy evaluation problems per month with exact numerical ground-truth answers.
• Design problems covering:
• Nirayana longitude computation from Sayana (applying Ayanamsa)
• Lagna (Ascendant) degree calculation from birth data
• Vimshottari and Ashtottari dasha balance computation
• Ashtakavarga bindu tables (Bhinnashtakavarga + Sarvashtakavarga)
• 36-point Guna Milan (Ashtakoot matching) calculations for given pairs
• Shadbala computation for individual planets
• Provide step-by-step mathematical derivations, including formulas, intermediate values, and final answers.
• Create problems across difficulty levels:
• Easy: Single-formula computation
• Medium: Multi-step chained calculations
• Hard: Complex multi-system computations with edge cases
• Verify numerical answers against at least two independent Jyotish software tools.
• Explicitly document assumptions (e.g., ayanamsa value used, year-length convention).

Required Qualifications

• Formal training in Ganita Jyotish (mathematical astrology) or Siddhantic astronomy.
• Ability to compute planetary longitudes using Surya Siddhanta or modern ephemeris methods.
• Mastery of Ashtakavarga computation, including the full 8-planet contribution matrix.
• Proficiency in Ashtakoot Guna Milan scoring across all 8 kootas:
• Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi
• Including exception rules (e.g., Nadi Dosha exemptions, Bhakoot cancellations).
• Strong numerical accuracy (degree–minute–second arithmetic, modular arithmetic for sign boundaries, time-zone conversions).
• Minimum 3 years of computational Jyotish practice or teaching.

Preferred Qualifications

• Background in Mathematics, Physics, or Engineering alongside Jyotish training.
• Experience comparing Krishnamurti vs Lahiri ayanamsa computations.
• Familiarity with astronomical coordinate systems (ecliptic/equatorial/horizon).
• Teaching or exam-setting experience for Jyotish mathematics.

Tools & Technologies

• Jagannatha Hora, Parashara Light, or equivalent Jyotish calculation software.
• Spreadsheet tools (Excel/Google Sheets) for batch verification.

Engagement Details

• Remote contract engagement.
• Deliverable-based: 15–25 evaluation problems per month.
