About Turing
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.
What You'll Do
- Sourcing & Pipeline Building: Look beyond standard keyword searches by continuously tracking arXiv preprints, GitHub activity, OpenReview submissions, and open-source contributions. Map and cultivate passive talent ecosystems across top PhD programs (Stanford, MIT, CMU), frontier research labs and high-growth AI startups. Build proactive candidate pipelines long before formal requisitions open.
- Engaging Incredibly Hard-to-Reach Talent: Reach passive researchers, Research Engineers, and Forward-Deployed Engineers who do not respond to generic recruiter outreach. Demonstrate the technical fluency to assess candidate relevance, understand research contributions, and partner with technical leaders on candidate calibration.
- Closing Highly Sought-After Talent: Partner directly with the CEO, CTO, and research leaders to design and execute individualized closing playbooks for highly sought-after talent. Win contested offers by understanding each candidate’s motivations.
What We're Looking For
- Technical Recruiting Track Record: 4+ years of full-lifecycle technical recruiting experience, with proven depth in AI/ML, Research Engineering, Distributed Systems, or Forward-Deployed Engineering.
- Domain Literacy: Ability to speak credibly with top researchers and technical leaders.
- Proven Closer: Demonstrated track record of personally sourcing and closing highly sought-after candidates against competing offers from frontier labs or hyperscalers.
- Compensation & Equity Fluency: Strong understanding of private-company equity, technical compensation, and competitive market benchmarking.
- High Ownership & Startup Speed: Ability to operate with high urgency in a fast-moving AI research environment.
