What we do

Turing builds large-scale datasets and reinforcement learning (RL) environments that power post-training for the world’s leading AI labs and enterprises. We create RL environments to evaluate and improve our customers' models on complex, long-range, multi-step workflows across high-GDP-value domains such as Finance, Sales, Retail, Developer Tools, Collaboration, Customer Experience.

The environments vary depending on the model capability being evaluated / improved, a few examples of environment types are listed here:

• Environments for Software Engineering / coding agents

• UI-Environments for Computer-Use/Browser-Use agents

• MCP-based Environments for general function-calling agents across various enterprise and consumer applications.

The Role

We are looking for a Staff Research Engineer – RL to own the end-to-end lifecycle of RL environment projects, spanning environment design, task generation, reward/verifier design, quality, and delivery to frontier AI labs and enterprise clients.

This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you influence revenue directly – you will be mapped to one or more AI labs and build RL environments specific to their needs. You will lead teams of engineers, subject matter experts (e.g. Finance expert, if you’re building an RL environment for investment banking workflows), researchers, and data ops teammates to achieve this.
