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. As a leader in the AGI ecosystem, Turing partners with top AI labs and enterprises to deliver cutting-edge innovations in generative AI, making it a critical player in shaping the future of artificial intelligence.

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.

About the role

We are looking for Solution Engineers to partner directly with customers and lead the end-to-end delivery of high-impact technical solutions. Successful candidates will need to be able to work with customer teams, translating real-world challenges into production-ready systems that leverage Generative AI, Computer Vision, and Machine Learning. This role is a blend of software engineering, ML engineering, architecture, and consulting. Engineers will design and deploy solutions, integrate models, build custom workflows, and guide customers through successful implementation.

Qualifications

  • 5–10+ years in engineering roles such as Forward Deployed Engineer, ML Engineer, Software Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Technical Consultant, or similar.
  • German language proficiency (C1 or native)
  • Strong proficiency in Python, JavaScript/TypeScript, Go, or similar production-oriented languages.
  • Hands-on experience with Machine Learning, including training, fine-tuning, evaluating, or deploying models.
  • Direct experience with Generative AI (LLMs, multimodal models, vector databased, or RAG) and applying them to real-world problems.
  • Exposure to Computer Vision techniques (detection, segmentation, OCR, embeddings, multimodal pipelines).
  • Strong knowledge of ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, etc.).
  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Excellent communication skills with both technical and non-technical audiences.
  • Comfort leading customer-facing engagements and guiding stakeholders through ambiguity.
  • Willingness and ability to travel frequently.
  • Prior experience in consulting, technical solutions, professional services, or customer-embedded technical roles.
  • Experience with vector databases, embedding pipelines, or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Experience building APIs, microservices, or distributed systems.
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools (Docker, Kubernetes, model registries, CI/CD for ML).
  • Background in deploying or fine-tuning CV models (YOLO, SAM, CLIP, DETR, etc.).
  • Experience in startup or high-growth environments.

Key Responsibilities

  • Engage directly with enterprise and strategic customers to understand their workflows, data, and technical requirements.
  • Architect, build, and deploy custom solutions leveraging GenAI, LLMs, Machine Learning and Vision models, and customer data sources.
  • Lead full project lifecycles: scoping, solution design, development, implementation, testing, deployment, and iteration.
  • Integrate and optimize AI/ML pipelines, including data preprocessing, prompt engineering, model selection, and evaluation.
  • Build reliable, scalable software integrations using APIs, cloud services, and containerized systems.
  • Troubleshoot complex technical issues across the stack—applications, models, data pipelines, infrastructure, and integrations.
  • Act as the customer’s trusted technical advisor, enabling adoption of new product capabilities and AI features.
  • Partner closely with internal product and engineering teams to communicate customer feedback and shape roadmap direction.
  • Produce high-quality documentation, architecture diagrams, runbooks, and technical assets for customer teams.
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to internal best practices for FDE delivery.

Offer Details

  • Full-time contractor (no benefits)
  • Remote only, full-time dedication (40 hours/week)
  • Same overlap with PST required, work mostly done in EU timezones
  • Competitive compensation package.
  • Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
  • Dynamic and inclusive work environment focused on innovation and teamwork
