About Turing:
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: first, by accelerating frontier research with high-quality data, advanced training pipelines, plus top AI researchers who specialize in coding, reasoning, STEM, multilinguality, multimodality, and agents; and second, 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:
We are seeking highly skilled C/C++ engineers to work with system-level libraries and tools such as OpenSSL, FFmpeg, glibc, libssh2, zlib, systemd, tcpdump and support infrastructure for AI-driven software engineering systems. In addition, you will play a key role in building the backend stack for model training and evaluation pipelines that support intelligent systems like the SWE Bench, where AI agents assist in real-world software maintenance and patching workflows
Responsibilities:
- Develop, maintain, and extend high-performance, secure system software in C/C++.
- Integrate and work with open-source projects such as OpenSSL, FFmpeg, glibc, systemd, tcpdump, libssh2, ImageMagick, and FreeRDP.
- Design tools and infrastructure to support model training and evaluation workflows.
- Build systems for suggesting code patches based on bug reports, issue descriptions, and vulnerability IDs.
- Automate assessment of PRs and patch diffs for correctness and completeness.
- Develop solution plans, set up reproducible environments, and evaluate test outcomes.
- Collaborate with AI engineers on integrations involving Rust bindings and Python-based orchestration tools.
- Analyze low-level system behavior using profiling, tracing, and debugging tools.
- Write clear, maintainable code and documentation for internal systems and external libraries.
Required Qualifications:
- Expert-level experience in C and/or C++ (C99+, C++11/14/17).
- Strong understanding of systems programming, memory management, and networking internals.
- Hands-on experience with Linux kernel, glibc, and multithreaded programming.
- Familiarity with libraries such as OpenSSL, zlib, FFmpeg, libssh2, and ImageMagick.
- Proficiency with debugging and diagnostics tools like gdb, valgrind, perf, and tcpdump.
- Experience integrating or extending open-source libraries and toolchains.
- Comfortable with build systems such as make, cmake, and autotools.
- Experience with Python, bash scripting, and Docker.
- Exposure to DevOps practices.
Good to have:
- Experience with model evaluation workflows involving static and dynamic code analysis.
- Understanding of AI-assisted code generation tools and feedback loops.
- Background in building tools for test orchestration, sandboxing, and runtime validation.
Perks of Freelancing With Turing:
- Work in a fully remote environment.
- Opportunity to work on cutting-edge AI projects with leading LLM companies.
- Potential for contract extension based on performance and project needs.
