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:
- By accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, and top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents;
- 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
In this role, you will be working on projects to help fine-tune large language models (like ChatGPT) using your strong analytical and English comprehension skills.
- The ideal candidate should have a strong foundation in Chemistry, comparable to the level required for PhD-level programs.
- You should be able to break down complex chemistry problems into simple, clear explanations and work efficiently.
- The projects will also help you learn how to leverage AI to be a better analyst. This is your chance to future-proof your career in an AI-first world!
