Data scientist jobs in Pune

About the Role

We’re looking for a Senior React Native Engineer with strong native iOS experience to help us build the next generation of Meltwater’s mobile products. This is a hands-on senior role for a self-driven engineer who thrives in collaborative environments, takes full ownership of their work, and is passionate about crafting high-quality mobile experiences that scale.

You’ll work across our React Native, native iOS (Swift), and native Android codebases (Java/Kotlin), collaborating closely with designers, backend engineers, and product managers to deliver intuitive, performant, and reliable apps used by thousands of customers globally. Our mobile stack is evolving—modernizing legacy iOS code (RestKit, UIKit) into React Native with shared business logic and modular architecture. You’ll play a key role in this transformation.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the development of new features and enhancements in React Native, integrating with existing native iOS (Swift) components.
• Collaborate with backend and web teams to design and implement APIs, data flows, and modern architecture patterns (MVVM, VIPER, or similar).
• Maintain and improve our CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Fastlane) for build reliability and release automation.
• Own the end-to-end delivery of mobile features—from requirements and technical design to testing and deployment.
• Drive code quality, performance optimization, and technical excellence across the team.
• Partner with Product and Design to refine scope, improve usability, and ensure smooth handoffs.
• Help mentor junior and mid-level engineers, providing code reviews and technical guidance.
• Contribute to defining and evolving our mobile architecture strategy as we migrate to a unified React Native codebase.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of professional mobile development experience, with at least 2+ years in React Native and 3+ years in iOS (Swift).
• Deep understanding of React Native workflows, native module bridging, and mobile build cycles.
• Proven experience with modern iOS architecture patterns (VIPER, MVVM, or Clean Architecture).
• Strong knowledge of Swift, UIKit, and SwiftUI fundamentals.
• Familiarity with mobile CI/CD systems and automated build pipelines (Fastlane, GitHub Actions, Bitrise, etc.).
• Solid understanding of RESTful APIs, JSON parsing, and real-time/SSE data flows.
• Experience integrating with third-party SDKs such as Auth0, Firebase, and social login providers.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills—able to work cross-functionally in an agile, globally distributed team.
• A self-starter who takes ownership, identifies improvements, and delivers results without heavy supervision.

Offer Details

• Full-time contractor
• Remote only, full-time dedication (40 hours/week)
• 6 hours of overlap with PST
• 6 months contract with a possibility of extension
• Competitive compensation package.
• Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
• Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and teamwork

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, plus 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 drive lasting results on the P&L

Role Overview

Turing is seeking highly skilled and motivated Applied AI Research Scientists in Computer Science and Computer Engineering with an MS or Ph.D. in a relevant technical field to join our team at Turing. In this role, you will contribute to the design, validation, and execution of expert-level evaluation tasks that probe the limits of state-of-the-art AI systems. Your work will focus on creating headroom-level, rigorously verifiable questions across hardware, systems, and computing domains to assess and stress-test advanced multimodal and reasoning-capable AI models.

This position requires deep domain expertise, strong analytical rigor, and the ability to translate complex technical concepts into precise, evaluable challenges that expose model limitations beyond surface-level reasoning. You will work closely with a collaborative, cross-functional team and are expected to be a reliable team player who is highly detail-oriented and committed to accuracy and quality.

Roles & Responsibilities

• Design headroom-level evaluation questions requiring advanced reasoning and graduate-level domain expertise in CS/CE.
• Ensure all tasks are objectively verifiable with clear, definitive ground-truth answers.
  Develop high-quality multimodal prompts, including accurate technical diagrams or visuals when appropriate.
• Identify and document model headroom, focusing on SOTA models like Gemini and ChatGPT, and conduct structured side-by-side evaluations.
• Document model failures and reasoning gaps, provide correct solutions, and maintain accurate records of prompts, answers, and evaluation results in shared tracking systems.
• Overlap of 6 hours with PST time zone (12pm PST to 6pm PST) is mandatory.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• MS or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Information Technology, Data Science, or a closely related field
• Strong expertise in two or more Computer Engineering or Computer Science domains, such as hardware, computer architecture, systems, VLSI design, embedded systems and IoT, operating systems, compilers, systems security, or AI/ML
• Experience with applied AI research, technical evaluation, or research-driven problem formulation in real-world or production-oriented settings is a plus
• Strong programming proficiency, with experience in Python for analysis, verification, and evaluation workflows
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively as a detail-oriented team player

Perks of Freelancing With Turing:

• Work in a fully remote environment
• Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies

Offer Details:

• Commitment Required: 8 hours per day, with 4 hours of mandatory overlap with PST
• Employment Type: Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave).
• Contract Duration: 3 months (expected start date: next week).
• Eligible Locations: US, Canada, LATAM, Europe, Africa.

Evaluation Process:

• Round 1: Take home assessment
  Offline assessment to completed and submitted for reveiw.
• Round 2: Delivery Interview (60 minutes)
  A combined technical and cultural discussion with the Delivery Team.
