About the Role
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 seeking an experienced Mathematics expert to lead a pod of 5–10 trainers developing realistic, terminal-based scientific and technical tasks for Terminal Bench Science.
What You'll Do
- Review tasks end to end, including problem statements, datasets, environments, reference solutions, and automated tests.
- Verify mathematical correctness, well-posedness, convergence, stability, conditioning, discretization error, and edge-case handling.
- Ensure tasks require genuine multi-step reasoning rather than lookup or a single library call.
- Validate that exact, symbolic, arbitrary-precision, or floating-point computation is used appropriately.
- Check that tolerances are suitable for the problem’s numerical conditioning.
- Design and review graders based on mathematical properties such as residuals, feasibility, optimality certificates, invariants, error bounds, or proof checking.
- Ensure tasks are reproducible through pinned tools, libraries, solver versions, and dependencies.
- Identify and prevent hard-coded solutions, test-file leakage, and other methods of bypassing the intended computation.
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: PhD Maths
