Frequently Asked Questions

Turing is an AGI infrastructure company specializing in post-training large language models (LLMs) to enhance advanced reasoning, problem-solving, and cognitive tasks. Founded in 2018, Turing leverages the expertise of its globally distributed technical, business, and research experts to help Fortune 500 companies deploy customized AI solutions that transform operations and accelerate growth.

After uploading your resume, you will have to go through the three tests -- seniority assessment, tech stack test, and live coding challenge. Once you clear these tests, you are eligible to apply to a wide range of jobs available based on your skills.

No, you don't need to pay any taxes in the U.S. However, you might need to pay taxes according to your country’s tax laws. Also, your bank might charge you a small amount as a transaction fee.

We, at Turing, hire remote developers for over 100 skills like React/Node, Python, Angular, Swift, React Native, Android, Java, Rails, Golang, PHP, Vue, among several others. We also hire engineers based on tech roles and seniority.

Communication is crucial for success while working with American clients. We prefer candidates with a B1 level of English i.e. those who have the necessary fluency to communicate without effort with our clients and native speakers.

Currently, we have openings only for the developers because of the volume of job demands from our clients. But in the future, we might expand to other roles too. Do check out our careers page periodically to see if we could offer a position that suits your skills and experience.

Our unique differentiation lies in the combination of our core business model and values. To advance AGI, Turing offers temporary contract opportunities. Most AI Consultant contracts last up to 3 months, with the possibility of monthly extensions—subject to your interest, availability, and client demand—up to a maximum of 10 continuous months. For our Turing Intelligence business, we provide full-time, long-term project engagements.

No, the service is absolutely free for software developers who sign up.

Ideally, a remote developer needs to have at least 3 years of relevant experience to get hired by Turing, but at the same time, we don't say no to exceptional developers. Take our test to find out if we could offer something exciting for you.
