About Turing

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, and top AI researchers who specialize in coding, 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 produce lasting results on the P&L.

Role Overvie

• wIn this role, you will work on projects that improve and evaluate large language models by crafting challenging, competition-level mathematics problems and rigorously assessing model reasoning
• .The ideal candidate has a strong foundation in competitive mathematics at the AIME, HMMT, and IMO (Olympiad) level across the four classic pillars: Algebra, Number Theory, Combinatorics, and Geometry
• .You should be able to design novel, "Google-proof" problems intended to expose deep reasoning deficiencies in state-of-the-art models, and to diagnose precisely where and why a model's reasoning breaks down
• .The role combines original problem authoring, rigorous solution writing, and detailed evaluation of model-generated responses
• .This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world by working at the frontier of mathematical reasoning evaluation

• y.Author novel prompts that "break" evaluated models, meaning the model arrives at an incorrect final answer; ensure problems cannot be bypassed via brute-force or computationally intensive method
• s.Solve problems independently and write detailed, logically structured, self-contained solutions with clear justifications, properly rendered in LaTe
• X.Review model-generated solutions, identify mathematical errors, logical fallacies, or missing arguments, and diagnose the root cause using defined failure categories (Final Answer, Reasoning Steps, Instruction Following
