Before joining Turing, I was working as a software developer for almost 6 years with extensive experience in game development. But it is only after I became a Turing developer, I began to manage my time better, stayed focused on my career goals, became more adaptable. I also learned how to work with different technologies and global teams. If I were to ask to review Turing.com, I would say it has been a rewarding journey for me so far.

Clement, NigeriaFull Stack Developer

I have been working as a full-stack developer at Turing.com for more than a year now. While applying for Turing jobs a year back, I found the Turing test to be very challenging. But it was a good learning experience for me. Through the AI/ML-enabled tests, Turing reviews how good you’re with your skill. Working with Turing has been a very satisfying experience for me so far. I get to work for Silicon Valley companies and enjoy good pay as well. I am also part of an elite community of the world’s best developers.

Hadji, AlgeriaFull Stack Developer

Although I had worked at oDesk and Elance (now popularly known as Upwork) for more than 5 years, the pivotal moment in my career came when I joined the global team of Turing in 2020. I never imagine that the role I would be offered would come with such stability and prominence. Apply to be one among many Turing developers. It will change your life like it did mine!
