About Turing: Turing is one of the world’s fastest-growing AI companies, accelerating the advancement and deployment of powerful AI systems. Turing helps customers in two ways: Working with the world’s leading AI labs to advance frontier model capabilities in thinking, reasoning, coding, agentic behavior, multimodality, multilinguality, STEM and frontier knowledge; and leveraging that work to build real-world AI systems that solve mission-critical priorities for companies. About the Role: We are building an evaluation benchmark for frontier AI browsing agents. Your job is to design research problems that a state-of-the-art AI cannot solve, even with full web access and multiple attempts. This is not a subject matter expert role, nor is it a content-writing role. It is investigative research. You will start from a verifiable fact, work backwards to construct a question that makes that fact extremely hard to locate, and then prove your work with a complete, auditable evidence trail. What You Will Produce: - A natural-language research question with a short, stable, objectively verifiable answer. - Clues, each independently checkable, spanning multiple fact types - including dates, people, places, organisations, works, events, records, and quantities - with specific constraints. - A validation record showing the obvious searches you ran and the results they returned. Minimum Qualifications: - Demonstrated open-web research ability, including locating primary records and navigating government and institutional databases, archives, registries, and PDF documents. Precision with sourcing. - You cite exact pages, tables, and sections—not just homepages. Comfort researching unfamiliar subjects from scratch. - Native or near-native written English. - High tolerance for structured documentation. The evidence trail is the majority of the work. - Experience with LLM evaluation, red-teaming, or benchmark construction. - Experience in one or more of the following domains: Reference librarianship, archival research, or special collections. Investigative journalism or professional fact-checking. OSINT, due diligence, KYC, or investigative research. Patent, prior-art, or legal-discovery search. Genealogy and records research. Competitive quizzing or puzzle-hunt construction. Nice to Have: - Familiarity with JSON and structured data delivery formats. Offer Details: - Commitments Required: 40 hours per week with at least 4 hours PST overlap. - Employment type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave). - Duration of contract: 8 weeks. Application Process: - Complete the assessment shared with you. Our team will evaluate your submission. Selected candidates will be contacted regarding the next steps.
