About the Role
Turing is building one of the most rigorous STEM AI training datasets in the industry. The SciCode project involves creating high-quality scientific coding tasks that are used to train and evaluate frontier AI models. As a SciCode Trainer, you will be directly contributing to cutting-edge AI research by authoring, implementing, and reviewing complex scientific problems across core STEM disciplines.
What You'll Do
- Write scientific problem specifications consisting of one main problem and a minimum of 3 sub-problems, all logically connected and progressively building toward the main problem solution Implement verified golden solutions in Python with complete unit test coverage
- Design discriminative test cases that clearly differentiate correct from incorrect model outputs Run QC validation checks on the Turing Central Task Platform (CTP) including Tier 1 structure checks and Tier 2 quality rubrics Iterate on tasks based on QC feedback to meet Pass@K evaluation criteria across multiple LLM judges (GPT, Gemini, Nemotron)
- Maintain high output quality with a low rework rate, targeting consistent L1 approval on first submission
- Participate in sync calls for reviews, feedback sessions, and project standups during overlap hours
You're a Good Fit If You
- Required skills: PhD Chemistry, Grad Chemistry
- Master's or PhD in Chemistry or similar fields
- Strong Python programming skills with experience in scientific computing
- Ability to write rigorous, well-posed scientific problems with clear constraints and expected outputs
- Attention to detail - tasks must meet strict rubrics for well-posedness, test case discriminativeness, scientific correctness, and determinism
- Prior experience in AI data annotation, research, or scientific writing
- Familiarity with LLM evaluation frameworks or coding benchmarks
- Experience with libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, SymPy, or domain-specific scientific tools .
- Published research or academic project experience in a STEM domain Quality Standards
