LLM Trainer - Computer Usage Data Collection

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.


Role Overview

We are developing a computer usage dataset to train intelligent systems that understand how users interact with software applications. As an LLM Trainer (Computer Usage Data Collection), you will record your screen while performing detailed, multi-step computer-based tasks — such as configuring applications, exploring tools, or completing productivity workflows.
Your recordings will be annotated and used to help train models that interpret and predict user workflows, enhancing the realism and usability of AI assistants.


What Does Day-to-Day Look Like

  • Record your screen activity while completing assigned computer-based tasks.
  • Carefully follow step-by-step documentation to complete each task accurately.
  • Ensure all recordings are high-quality, complete, and free from interruptions.

  • Software & Development Environments: Setting up or configuring tools (no coding required).
  • Data & Analytics: Working with dashboards or monitoring interfaces.
  • Creativity Tools: Using design or visualization applications.
  • General Workflows: Everyday tasks like browsing, file management, or configuration settings.
Note: The specific tools and environments will vary widely — adaptability and willingness to learn new interfaces are key.

Requirements
  • Computer with Mac or Linux operating system and 8GB RAM or higher.
  • 2+ years of experience with any programming language preferably Python
  • Strong ability to follow detailed written documentation and execute steps precisely.
  • Comfort with navigating various software applications and interfaces.
  • Basic technical literacy — ability to install or configure software using provided guides.
  • Basic coding knowledge and familiarity with environments such as Visual Studio or PyCharm preferred.
  • Excellent attention to detail and consistency in recording and labeling.
  • Reliable computer and stable internet connection.
  • Commitment to confidentiality and secure data handling.

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:

  • Engagement  type  : Contractor assignment (no medical/paid leave)
  • Duration of contract : 1 month; [expected start date is next week]

Evaluation Process :

  • 1 round of take home assessment
