Senior Engineering Manager

Turing’s mission is to accelerate superintelligence to drive real economic progress. Headquartered in San Francisco, Turing works with frontier AI labs to generate high-quality datasets, reinforcement learning environments, and frontier research benchmarks that improve model capabilities in software engineering, enterprise knowledge work, and advanced STEM reasoning. In software engineering, Turing is the largest and longest-running data provider in the category. Turing also works with Fortune 500 enterprises across financial services, life sciences, healthcare, retail, automotive, and CPG to build and deploy end-to-end agentic AI systems inside mission-critical workflows. By operating on both sides, Turing closes the loop between frontier research and enterprise deployment, turning real-world deployment signals into better data, evaluations, and more capable models.

• →Own end-to-end project delivery, stepping in personally to build, operate data, configure the stack, or set up infrastructure whenever needed.
• →Guide the team on architecture, design, and implementation of scalable, maintainable solutions.
• →Run precise engineering planning: define technical specs, scope tasks clearly, and drive execution to consistent on-time delivery.

• Lead and organize a team building custom AI/data solutions for enterprise clients.
• Allocate work across the team based on skills and performance, and prioritize to meet business goals.
• Coordinate with cross-functional partners to keep projects aligned.

• Monitor progress and optimize development processes for speed and efficiency in a fast, iterative environment.
• Perform spot reviews on tasks, give actionable feedback, and catch risks early.
• Ensure work meets quality standards before it ships.

• Identify high and low performers through reviews and metrics; mentor, develop, and manage talent accordingly.
• Build up team members and support their growth toward more advanced work.

• Proven track record of leading teams, especially in startup or fast-moving, project-based environments, delivering complex technical work under tight deadlines. This is the primary filter.
• Hands-on technical strength — expert-level, current engineering ability (e.g., Python and JavaScript ecosystems), with the ability to personally deliver.
• Data fluency — proficiency with data analysis and data quality practices (statistical analysis, data manipulation, and tools such as Pandas, NumPy, and SQL), and the ability to lead data validation, cleansing, and enrichment.
• 7+ years in software engineering, with at least 2 years leading a team (typically 5-6+ people).
• Bachelor's or Master's in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field. Backgrounds in AI, data science, or data engineering are strongly preferred; 
• AI or fine-tuning / custom-data experience is a plus but not required — diligence, track record, and ownership come first.
• Excellent communication and the ability to collaborate across cross-functional teams.

You are the kind of leader who is excited to do this work. You know it will be intense, that you'll manage a lot of people, process, and technology at once, and you welcome it. You have taken on something genuinely hard, led people through it, and can clearly explain what made it difficult and how you delivered — a truly hard technical milestone, reached in a leadership setting, that you're proud of.

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

• Work at the frontier of AI, helping the world’s leading AI labs improve their most advanced models by building expert datasets, RL environments, and first-of-a-kind benchmarks.
  
  
• Contribute to leading-edge AI research and showcase your work at top conferences such as ICLR, ICML, and NeurIPS.
  
  
• Bring frontier AI innovation to the enterprise, applying lessons learned from leading AI labs to solve real-world business challenges.
  
  
• Collaborate with and learn from exceptional colleagues with deep AI experience from Google, Meta, Amazon, and other leading technology companies.
  
  
• Move at the pace of AI innovation, with the speed, ownership, and impact of a startup.
